Blip
An AI character for kids: two glowing eyes, 20 emotions, games and conversations in Ukrainian. Born on the R36S handheld console, it moved to the iPhone as a native app. Now in beta testing.

The sun is a huge hot star. It gives us light and warmth!
Build an AI that kids enjoy talking to and parents feel calm about: live reactions instead of a dry chat, games without ads, and answers even without the internet.
Product, character design, sound, development for both platforms and testing with a family.
- A face with 20 emotions and springy animation
- Answers along a chain: online model → a knowledge pack of 504 topics → local Gemma 270M
- 11 games: from Snake and tic-tac-toe to an alphabet game and a sliding puzzle
- Its own sounds and babble instead of a synthesized human voice
- A native iPhone app (SwiftUI) that listens and answers in subtitles
01 / 05On the console: Blip lives on the R36S screen, blinks, looks around and reacts to the gamepad.
02 / 05A carousel menu under the face: chat, games, weather, memory. The eyes follow the selection.
03 / 05Games for kids: Snake, memory, an alphabet game and eight more, with high scores and music.
04 / 05On the iPhone: the same Blip in a native app. The answer appears as subtitles under the eyes.
05 / 05You talk and Blip listens: a wave under the eyes shows it hears you, and it answers with an emotion and text.
A character kids talk to and play with every day: on the console and on the phone, online and offline.
A beta for one family: on the iPhone it installs via SideStore and is not on the App Store yet. Offline, Blip answers from the knowledge pack and a local model, so more simply than online.
