A short, safe story for your child. You approve it first.
Pick an idea and something to practise, like counting or feelings. Waggle turns it into a short story from reviewed templates. Nothing reaches your TV until you say yes.
A prototype for demonstration. The demo uses sample pictures and sound, costs nothing, and asks for made-up names only.
Four steps, and you are in charge of each
Waggle is for a parent and a child. The parent makes the choices on a phone; the child plays on the TV with the remote.
- ChooseWho the story is about, where it happens, and what to practise: big pictures for a two-year-old, words for an older child.
- CheckRead it. Add pictures, music or a voice if you like, and look at each one yourself before it can be used.
- ApproveOnly the parent's phone can approve. An assistant can build a story, but it cannot put one on the TV.
- WatchIt appears on your family's TV page and plays with the remote's arrows and OK. It ends by itself on a calm screen.
Safe by design
- Reviewed templatesThe structure, the choices and the safety rules are fixed. A story only fills in the blanks.
- Nothing to click away toNo links, no purchases, no ads and no open text for the child. A time limit ends every story.
- A parent's gateEvery story waits for approval. Pictures, music and voices are checked by you before the TV can use them.
- Your child's name stays with youIt is never sent to a model, and the demo asks for made-up names only.
Get started
You do not install one thing per device. The phone and the TV need nothing at all; the rest is optional.
1. On your phone
Open the studio in any browser. Nothing to install. Start a family space, or open a family link you were given.
Open the live demo2. On your TV
Open your family's TV address in the Fire TV browser and bookmark it. You will find the address on the studio's TV tab. No app to install.
How the TV page works3. With Alexa
One Alexa skill, not one per device. It would let you draft a story by voice, and later drive lights and other smart-home devices, so each needs no install of its own.
What exists today4. Ring and Bee
These two connect through a small home bridge on a computer at home, not through Alexa. Ring signals are examples for now, and Bee has only been tested against a stand-in.
