🚀 Pre-Book Your Open Dino – Join the Movement for Ethical, AI Toys

We’re launching Open Dino, AI educational toy for children — built entirely around values of transparency, freedom, and creative empowerment.

🧠 It runs OpenAI GPT‑4o mini Realtime directly via WebSockets, without any intermediate server or subscription.
🔌 It’s based on the Muse Proto by Raspiaudio — a low-power ESP32 board that includes microphone, speaker, DAC, amplifier, and Li-ion charger all in one compact design.

💡 Why pre-book?

We need 1,000 pre-bookings to make this project a reality!

We’re asking for €1 per reservation — this small, symbolic amount helps us validate interest and filter out bots.
If we do not reach our goal, your euro will be refunded in full, no questions asked.

👉 Pre-book now for €1
(No commitment. 100% refundable if the project doesn’t happen.)

🔓 What makes Open Dino different?

No mandatory subscription. You bring your own API key (OpenAI, Google Gemini, or other).
No vendor lock-in. The firmware is provider-agnostic: as long as it speaks WebSocket+JSON, it works.
Built for transparency. We’re developers and makers, not a VC-backed data-harvesting machine.
Child-safe by design. You control what servers the toy talks to.
Fully hackable. You want to plug in a local LLM? Go for it.
Made by RaspiAudio – creators of open-source audio boards and DIY kits since 2018.

🌍 Be part of something better

Most “AI toys” today are closed, unmodifiable, and designed to extract value from your child instead of offering it.

Open Dino is different.
It’s a toy, a dev kit, a learning tool, and a statement. If you believe in open systems and ethical design, this project is yours too.

👉 Reserve your Open Dino now for €1
