Thank you for doing this.

Ari is a tutor that lives inside a small device you attach to your child's favourite toy, so the toy comes alive. It gets to know your child and builds its stories and little exercises around her real life.

All we need from you today is the getting to know her part. You talk to Ari for a couple of minutes about your daughter, and that is the whole thing.

Before you start you need

A reasonably quiet room and about five minutes.
Nothing else. Your child does not need to be here.

Two steps: let Ari hear you, then just talk. Ari ends the conversation itself when it has enough, so there is nothing to time or cut short.

AriStep 1 / 2

Let Ari hear you.

Your phone will ask for permission to use the microphone. Tap Allow.

Getting it out of the way now means the popup never interrupts the conversation.

AriStep 2 / 2

Tell Ari about your child.

Ari will ask you questions. Just talk to it like a person, about 45 seconds. Everything you say here shows up inside your child's story.

Connecting

Worth mentioning

Her name and how old she is
Her favourite toy, its name, what it is like
What she is obsessed with right now
Her best friend, a brother or sister, a pet
One thing she is learning: letter sounds, rhyming, counting
Something that happened recently, and anything she finds scary

That is everything.

Ari has what it needs. It now knows your daughter well enough to build her stories and her little exercises around her real life.

If it went badly, or you forgot something you wanted to mention, just go again. It costs nothing and the newer one is the one we use.
