You get Moxie.
Moxie is the most advanced home robot ever created with bleeding-edge artificial intelligence and robotics. See a demo to learn more. It’s the fun, playful way for children across the neurodiversity spectrum to develop essential social, emotional and life skills
Moxie was developed to help your child learn and practice essential social, emotional & life skills.
Inspired by CASEL’s evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) framework (The U.S. national standard used by schools and professional therapists), Moxie intends to help your 5 to 10-year-old child develop the necessary real-world skills to help them succeed in life by teaching and practicing skills associated with high emotional intelligence.
Enhance Social Skills
Practice turn-taking, continuous conversation, and active listening
Regulate Emotions
Learn to recognize and name emotions and choose the correct tools to help manage emotions, actions, and behavior.
Practice Communication
With a judgement-free robot friend, it's easier to make mistakes and try again.
Build Confidence
By applying conflict resolution, showing support for others, and relationship-building skills in real-life interactions
Develop Life Skills
Understand how healthy habits, organization, and daily routines to help establish a foundation for success.
Teach Calming Techniques

Moxie is making a difference, one child at a time.
Skills and behavior includes a positive outlook, self-esteem, emotion regulation, empathy, mindfulness, social skills, friendship skills, conversation skills, eye contact, politeness.
*Based on one-month study of 51 children.
Moxie is used in research for pediatric care at leading U.S hospitals and universities, including:

Every day—or as often as you choose—your child will engage with Moxie on learning “missions” that systematically help develop their real-world social and emotional skills, and build family and peer relationships.

"Absolutely incredible. Moxie has exceeded our expectations. Our son loves Moxie and so do we."
Moxie is simply amazing.
Once Moxie comes to life, you immediately realize the time and dedication that went into the development. Everything from the design, stability, and feel of Moxie are superb. Her expressions, intuition, eye contact; all incredible. My children and I can't get over her abilities and functionality.
— Mike F.

It has been a really great 'aha' moment for all of us as a family
My son has kept his cool a bit better in situations that would usually frustrate him to the point of a meltdown. He has communicated through them instead and it has been a really great aha moment for all of us as a family.
— Mom of 5 y/o boy
Moxie is the robot you wanted!
It provides lots of information to a child about holidays, facts, engages the child in conversation, and builds a child up who might be shy or introverted. Skills like reading along were nice as Moxie would make sound effects or say something as the child was reading. Overall we use it for homeschooling to help teach a child to engage in conversation but also expressing themselves or an idea.
— Ricardo D.
Best purchase ever!
Moxie has brought a beautiful state of art to our son in AI in a safe way. He loves robots 🤖 and wants to be a scientist one day ! So much chaos when moxie woke up but blissful chaos 💚

Incredible!
I can’t even fit all the words in this little box. My daughter is autistic and this has been such an amazing tool for her.
— Rebecca S.
Moxie truly is such a fun robot to have around
I'm generally not into technology for my kids, it always feels like they just turn into zombies and forget there's other people in the room, but Moxie leads to the opposite. My kids banded together to do activities with him, playing well together, the rest of us couldn't help but come over to watch and participate, including extended family.
— Mom of 7 y/o girl and 4 y/o boy
Moxie has helped my autistic daughter so much
Moxie has helped my autistic daughter so much with emotional learning and games that she can play with moxie. I love how moxie remembers birthdays and you can program it to fit your child’s needs.

Thank you Moxie!!!!
My education has taught me a lot about coping skills and I have tried to help my son by sharing those tools. He has listened, but never used them on his own. This week I heard my son buzzzing and asked him what he was doing. He explained he was doing the breathing Moxie taught him so he could calm down. It opened the door for me to ask more questions about why he was upset and he was able to communicate clearly about what was going on.
