Chintus

The cuddly friend that talks back and keeps parents close.

A plush companion for children aged 3 to 12. It talks, tells stories, sings their favorite songs, and rings your phone the moment they start crying — complete with a thumb-slide shutter for instant privacy in your home.

The Chintus bear: soft brown plush, a camera lens set in its nose, speaker grilles in both ears, and a brown satin bow.

A SMART FRIEND FOR A BRIGHTER TOMORROW

What It Does

Four things your child will love — and nothing they don't need.

Talks & Answers

Listens, understands, and responds in a voice kids adore.

Stories & Games

Interactive tales and fun games — no screen required.

One-Touch Calling

One button to call you. No dialing, no confusion.

Cry Alerts

Detects distress and alerts your phone instantly.

Three of them.Your child picks one.

The hardware is identical in all three — same microphones, same camera shutter, same 30 cm sitting height. What changes is who's doing the talking.

The parent app, under your thumb.

Monitor, call, manage content, and set who can reach the toy — all from one place.

Trust is a thing you can check.

What if I don't want a camera in the room?

Hardware-cut power circuit • Zero software bypass

Close it with your thumb. It's a mechanical slide, not a setting — it covers the lens and breaks its power in one movement.

Plain text kept for parents • Zero audio kept

Every conversation appears as plain text— The recording is discarded, the words are kept for you.

The hardware works. The app works. The film is next.

This isn't a concept render. The working prototype is ready to meet the child. We would rather show you the thing than describe it. So here is exactly where we are today, and what arrives when.

Filming now A real child and a working bear, in one unbroken take. The full film replaces this frame the moment it's cut.
  1. The toy is built

    A working prototype on the desk: microphones in both ears, the camera and its mechanical shutter, one-touch calling, a battery that lasts the day.

    Done
  2. The app is built

    Guardian list, live audio, the conversation log and cry alerts — running on both iOS and Android, not mocked up.

    Done
  3. Chintu meets a child, on camera

    The first real interaction film. No script and no second take — whatever the bear says is what you'll hear.

    Filming
  4. Preorder will start soon

    Once the film is up, preorder opens. Leave your email below and you'll be the first to know when it does.

Mark your interest.

We'll write when there's something to see. ✏️

We'll write when the first interaction film goes up, and again when orders open. You can step away whenever you like.

  • A launch notification, so you're among the first to know
  • Early access to the general sale, before it opens publicly
  • No obligation — one click leaves the list, and we won't chase you

How does the refund work?

Your Founding Cohort deposit is 100% refundable at any time before your unit ships. Simply email us or tap "Request Refund" in your reservation dashboard. Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days. No reason required, no questions asked.

When will Chintus ship?

A shipping window estimate will be published to the cohort once the production run is confirmed. Founding Cohort members receive priority from the very first batch and will be the first to know the timeline via their direct line to the team.

What does the subscription include?

Chintus works out of the box with core features. The premium plan unlocks expanded story libraries, advanced learning modules, and detailed activity analytics in the parent app. Founding Cohort members get 12 months of premium included free.

How much does Chintus cost?

Pricing details will be shared with the Founding Cohort first. As a founding member, your launch price is locked permanently — any future retail price increases will never apply to you.

Safety is the foundation of every design decision. Chintus features audio-only check-in with zero cloud storage of audio, a physical camera shutter, named guardian-only accounts, and a visible session log. All communication is encrypted end-to-end. We comply with applicable child safety and data protection regulations.
