Grok

Not responsive. Connected to internet/bluetooth/phone.Set up as it should be and my child unable to communicate w it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My daughter is nonverbal, and that makes Grok, Gabbo’s spirited rocket, even more special for us. From the moment we turned him on, she lit up with excitement. She may not speak back, but her smiles, laughter, and how she stays engaged show me she’s connecting in her own way. What I love most is that Grok is screen-free she can play, imagine, and explore without being tied to a device. The interactive voice-powered play encourages curiosity, and I can see her enjoying the sounds, responses, and fun energy. Setup was quick, and I really appreciate that there’s no required subscription. The 60-day Curio Plus trial adds even more possibilities, but even without it, Grok feels complete. For parents of children with different abilities, this toy creates opportunities for imaginative, inclusive play. Grok meets my daughter right where she is, and that’s something I’m grateful for.

⭐⭐ 2 out of 5 stars — Great concept, but poor performance I bought three versions of Curio (Grok, Grem, and Gabbo) for each of my kids — ages 5, 7, and 9. While the names and characters are different, the core functionality is the same: a voice-based AI assistant for kids, kind of like a personal ChatGPT in a toy. The idea is adorable and promising — a smart, interactive companion for kids to ask questions, chat with, or explore learning. But unfortunately, the execution just isn’t there yet. The biggest issue is voice recognition — it struggles to understand my kids, even when they speak clearly. This leads to a lot of frustration. None of my kids were able to engage with it for more than a day. It simply doesn’t hold their attention when it doesn’t respond correctly. The AI doesn't "listen" well, and the responses are often irrelevant or miss the mark. What should be a fun, engaging experience becomes an annoying one — especially for younger children who don’t have the patience to repeat themselves over and over. It’s a cool idea, and I’d love to see this improve in the future with better voice tech and smarter AI. But for now, I’m returning all three. My advice: wait for the next generation before buying — it’s not ready for real use yet.
