Talking Cards

Talking Cards bring AI characters to life on your Pod. Your child taps a card and starts talking, and the character responds in real time.

What are Talking Cards?

Talking Cards are special tap-to-connect cards that link your child to an AI-powered character. When tapped, they:

• Connect to a live AI character
• Enable real-time voice conversations
• Create dynamic, personalized experiences

Each Talking Card is designed around a specific character or theme.

How Talking Cards work

Each Talking Card has built-in NFC. When your child taps it on the Pod:

Does it need Wi-Fi?

Yes. Conversations happen live, so Talking Cards need a stable Wi-Fi connection. They don’t work without Wi-Fi.

For the best experience, use a strong network and keep the Pod within good signal range.

Can I turn the microphone off?

Yes. Press the Mic button to turn the microphone on or off at any time, even in the middle of a conversation. When the mic is off, the character can’t hear your child.

What kinds of conversations can happen?

• Story-based adventures
• Role play and imaginative scenarios
• Question-and-answer learning
• Games and challenges
• Skill-building conversations

What happens if the connection is slow?

On a weak connection, the Pod may take longer to connect and responses may be slightly delayed. Improving the Wi-Fi signal usually fixes this. See Wi-Fi troubleshooting.

Tips for the best experience

• Make sure the Pod is connected to strong Wi-Fi.
• Sit with your child during the first few conversations.
• Encourage open-ended questions for richer conversations.
• Keep the microphone uncovered for clearer audio.
