โŒ The Problem

Endless Scrolling

Kids aged 2-8 spend an average of 2 hours and 48 minutes every day on screens. Nearly all of it is passive consumption of algorithm-driven videos, with little opportunity for creativity or active learning.

Guilt Without Good Options

Parents prefer screen time that is both fun and educational. Right now, they have to choose between entertaining cartoons designed for engagement, or educational apps that feel like homework.

Behavioral Learning is Overlooked

Studies show Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs boost achievement by 11 percentile points. Yet schools rarely emphasize it. That leaves kids missing critical skills โ€“ like handling frustration, working with others, and bouncing back from setbacks โ€“ lessons every parent wants taught early.

โ€

โœ… The Solution

At Pixley, the team is using the newest video generation technologies to allow families to make AI cartoon shows within minutes.

โณ Instant Character Creation

Children can draw directly on the screen or upload any picture โ€“ even a photo of themselves, their family, or friends. Pixley transforms it into a fully animated character in seconds, which can be saved into the character library and used in future episodes. For the first time, your child can actually star in their own cartoons.

๐Ÿ“บ Personalized Cartoon Episodes

Parents simply describe what they want the episode to be about โ€“ from sharing with siblings, to learning fractions, or exploring space. Pixley generates an entire animated episode around that theme, starring the childโ€™s characters, within minutes.

๐Ÿ“ž Character Calling

Kids can โ€œcallโ€ their characters and hold conversations on any topic, like FaceTiming a cartoon friend that never runs out of things to say. Their characters will personalize to your child and teach them about their favorite topics!
