What Elly does

A real-time animated companion designed from the ground up for how young children actually play and talk.

Fully voice-operated

Your child just talks — no reading, typing or menus. Elly listens and answers out loud.

Beak-synced speech

Elly's beak moves in time with every word for a lifelike, engaging chat.

Safe by design

Never asks for personal info, gently redirects unsafe topics, and points to a trusted grown-up.

Playful learning

Colours, numbers, shapes, animals, rhymes and stories — all through natural conversation.

A friendly bridge from home to preschool

Big changes feel smaller with a familiar friend. Elly can be a gentle companion during the move from home to preschool — a comforting, recognisable face who chats about the day, practises turn-taking and listening, and celebrates each brave step. Like taking a favourite friend to school, Elly helps little ones feel calm, confident and ready.

Familiar comfort

The same friendly Elly at home and on the way to school eases separation nerves.

School-ready play

Gentle practice with listening, turn-taking, colours, numbers and sharing feelings.

Talk about the day

Elly encourages children to share how they feel and to tell a trusted grown-up.

For educators

For kindergartens & early learning centres

Elly is a calm, screen-light helper for kindergartens, early learning centres and pre-schools. She supports listening, turn-taking and language play — with the same safe-by-design promise educators can trust.

Small-group friendly

Great for quiet corners and one-on-one time — children take turns talking with Elly, no reading required.

Safe & ad-free

Never asks for personal details, gently redirects unsafe topics, and always points to a trusted grown-up.

Educator controls

Set session length and privacy, with an always-available stop, mute and exit for staff.

Loved by little ones (and their grown-ups)

A few words from families enjoying Elly.

My 3-year-old asks for “Emu time” every afternoon. She just talks and Elly chats back — no screen full of buttons, and I don't worry about what she's seeing.

Sarah M.

Mum of one, Brisbane

The Aussie voice is gorgeous and Elly is so patient. It's helped my little bloke practise talking before he starts kindy.

James & Toby

Dad & son, Perth

I love that there are no ads and I can set the limits. It feels like a calm, safe little friend rather than a device.
