ECHO DOT STORYTIME

FUTURE LIONS 2019 SHORTLIST

In today’s world, children are surrounded by interfaces that infiltrate their growing minds. We wanted to utilize Amazon’s echo dot and AI technology to generate a storytelling experience for kids. PBS characters do the storytelling, making the adventure entirely more personal. With each story having hundreds of endings, the children can interact through a new story each night.
