“I’ve never heard her speak so much Mandarin as she does with Phoenyx. When she’s home and I say ‘say something in Mandarin,’ she doesn’t want to. But with Phoenyx, it was fun.”

A screen-free companion made personal for your child. And manageable by you.

Science Backed
Children pick up more words when they talk back than when they only listen. In research by Dr. Ying Xu, Assistant Professor of AI in Learning and Education at Harvard, children who held a back-and-forth dialogue with a conversational agent understood stories better and learned more vocabulary than children who simply listened. Phoenyx is built on that finding: the child does the talking.
Tuned for young voices
Children don’t speak like adults — they mumble, trail off, and invent words. Phoenyx uses speech recognition built for young voices, so your child is understood without having to repeat themselves.
Private by design
COPPA-compliant. Conversations are encrypted and kept for 30 days so you can follow progress, and you can review or delete any of them in the parent app at any time. Never sold, never shared.

Questions parents ask
Here are common questions from parents like you.
Some children talk to Phoenyx straight away; others circle it for a day or two. Both are normal. Attach it to a fixed moment in the day rather than asking whether they want to play, and lower the difficulty in the parent app if they can’t follow along. If it still isn’t working, return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund — email support@myphoenyx.com.
Pre-orders from our current production run ship in December. We ship within the U.S. only for now. Already ordered and waiting? Email support@myphoenyx.com for a status update.
No. Phoenyx does the speaking practice with your child, so it works whether the language is fluent in your house, half-remembered, or new to everyone. You choose the language and the level in the parent app.
My Phoenyx is $199 (regularly $299) and includes a full year of use — 15 hours of interactive learning every month. After the first year it renews at $14.99/month, and you can cancel anytime.
Yes — an internet connection is required for most features. You connect Phoenyx to your home wifi from the parent app during setup. A full charge lasts one to two days with standard use.
