The project

Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
Momo is an AI-powered plush companion designed for left-behind children who spend long periods living away from their parents. Children can talk to Momo about school, friendships, loneliness, or anything on their minds. A child-focused mental health AI agent helps them express emotions, understand their feelings, and develop healthy coping habits. Its independently moving ears and tail add expressive body language, allowing Momo to react naturally during conversations and interactions. Interactive stories introduce values such as empathy, honesty, kindness, and responsibility.

When children feel upset, Momo's softly glowing heart guides breathing exercises. Gentle music and adjustable lighting help them relax and establish healthy daily routines. A private mood journal records emotional check-ins and helps children understand changes in their feelings over time.

Momo also helps families stay connected. Children can record voice messages, share daily experiences, and communicate with distant parents. Optional caregiver features provide general well-being updates with appropriate privacy controls.

These features aim to support children's emotional and physical well-being, encourage positive habits, and give them a familiar companion they can turn to throughout their childhood.
