PlayGeni's device has no screen, microphone, or camera; children co-create stories using physical blocks representing heroes, cities, objects, rivals, or languages, and can make their own. The company says its closed Story Engine means kids never interact directly with an AI. The product costs $89, ships mid-November, supports 15 languages, and launches with 11 books written by an in-house team. The team includes designers, educators, and parents from MIT and Harvard. Expansion to Canada, the UK, and the EU is planned next.
