Alphabebe
A family companion that remembers and grows with mother, father and child
Yesterday in Grandma's yard, this week's dinosaur craze: Bebe remembers. Out of that memory comes tonight's book, and a friend who stays beside your child's feelings. An AI family companion for children 0–5, used together with mum and dad.

Bebe is an AI · your child's voice is never recorded
Not a screen to watch, a turn to take
What researchers keep finding is that the back-and-forth matters more than the word count. So instead of playing a video, Bebe asks, waits, and picks up what your child says.
These studies are about conversation itself, and most of them looked at conversation with a person. Bebe does not replace talk with mum and dad; it adds one more thing to talk about. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment.
Instead of a boxed set
In Korea a Korean-language picture-book set runs 778,000 won and a premium system 4,650,000. A picture-book expert says parents end up pushing books on children because the set cost so much.
Bebe does it the other way round. What your child said today becomes tonight's book. Each one is your child's own story, so your child opens it first.

What gets missed
One in two Korean two-year-olds already has private lessons. The research points elsewhere: self-control between three and eleven predicted health and income at thirty-two, and the children who shared and waited in kindergarten were likelier to finish college as adults. Resilience is not a rare gift. It comes from an adult who stays beside the child.
Bebe was not built to get a child ahead. It keeps an eye on the seven areas the research calls important, in everyday talk and play, and shows you where this week's play landed. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment.

Bebe remembers your child
The same “dinosaur story” is different for every child. Bebe keeps what it heard over the past days, writes that child's own book, and asks about it first next time.
What Bebe remembered over a few days
What Minji said today
Make me a book with dinosaurs!

꼬리는 여기
One: the tail slipped out, and Minji was sad.
Her favourite dinosaurs, counted up to the three she knows.
What Bebe remembers is in the grown-ups' space, where you can correct or delete it. A deleted memory is no longer used.
Nothing dressed up
All of it was really made by Bebe for an imaginary child called Minji. Words, pictures and video are made by AI.

Minji saw the long dinosaur tail and smiled. “Bebe, the tail was right here all along!”
A question for your child on every page
What made Minji smile?
A note for grown-ups
When you read it again, pause before the last word of the refrain and let Minji say it.
Story video · 4 scenes · 35 s
At a forest picnic Minji presses a big bell, but it makes no sound. She shakes it with Bebe, and it rings.
Tap to play with Bebe's voice (35 s, in Korean with subtitles)
Finger game · ready in 2–4 min
Put as many fruits in the basket as the fish wants. Made for a child who counts to five, to try six to ten.
Baby-food recipe · 7–8 months
Six ingredients, four steps. Timers where something simmers, and a way to tell each step is done.

Made for grown-ups and children together
Bebe isn't made to keep a child busy alone. She works best when you're beside your child, listening, reading and laughing together.
Under 2
The screen is for you. Read Bebe's stories aloud to your child, and use the recipes and parenting help. Stories and videos for this age are made calmer too.
2 to 5
Talk and make things together, side by side. Up to an hour of screen a day is plenty.
The Korean Pediatric Society advises no digital media up to 24 months and, after that, under an hour a day watched together. The WHO also advises no more than an hour of sitting screen time a day for ages 2 to 4.

Bebe and her feeling friends
The first feelings a child learns are five: joy, sadness, anger, worry and fear. Bebe and her friends each hold one. They know how to welcome a child that feeling visits, and they have felt it themselves.
Bebe
White bunny · the heroine
A white light that welcomes every feeling.
Kongkong
Charcoal puppy
The gentle dark who comes close on scary nights.
Hihi
Little red bird
The bird who spots small joys first and shares them.
Hoho
Little yellow tiger
Nervous, still says “Hooo” and takes one step.
Kulkul
Blue-grey bear cub
The spring bear who hugs big even when cross.
White light holds every colour. Korean babies wore white until their hundredth day, then put on colours for the first time. Bebe is the white bunny; her friends are the colours a child gains while growing. Side by side, the five make the 색동 stripes of a Korean child's sleeve.
The heart-shaped leaf on each head is a sprout of the heart. Every child already has the sprouts of a kind heart. The friends tend them; they never pull them.
Comfort always goes in the same order: notice, name it, stay close, then the gesture. No friend tries to fix a feeling before naming it.
All five live together in the room. In each story, video and game, the one friend who fits that day's story joins Bebe.
Grown-ups' space
It opens only after a grown-up check. Read a short account of your child's time with Bebe, and talk parenting with Bebe too.
Before you search for it, the answers about Alphabebe (알파베베) are here.
Alphabebe is an AI family companion for children aged 0 to 5 and their parents. Bebe, a white rabbit, talks with your child by voice, remembers what your child says, and turns it into picture books, story videos, songs, finger games and block toys. The parent space sums up the time your child spent with Bebe.
It is made for ages 0 to 5. Under two, the parent holds the screen and reads the books Bebe wrote aloud; stories and videos are made calmer for younger children. You can choose Korean or English for your child.
With a parent nearby and within a set time, we think so. Bebe is not an AI toy a child uses alone; it is a companion the family uses together. Each child has a daily limit, Bebe sleeps at night, and conversations worth a look are flagged in the parent space. Our line comes from the paediatric bodies: the American Academy of Pediatrics advises no screens before 18 months other than video calls with family, and good content watched with an adult after that; the Korean Pediatric Society advises no digital media before two. So for a baby under two we suggest Bebe only in a parent's hands, reading and playing together.
Bebe keeps the little things: what your child likes, what happened lately, how far they can count, and uses them in the next conversation and the next book. You can see, correct or delete what Bebe remembers in the parent space, and a deleted memory is never used again.
Bebe and her five friends each hold one feeling (joy, sadness, anger, worry, fear) and show, through stories and play, how to name a feeling and stay beside it. The app keeps an eye on the seven areas research calls important (body, language, thinking, together, heart, expression, self) and shows you in the parent space where this week's play landed. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment.
You don't have to give up books you own. But rather than bringing in dozens of books at once, reading one book Bebe wrote from what your child said today, about what they love, is the book a child opens first. Each page asks your child a question to answer together, the narration comes with it, and every child's books build up on their own shelf.
We understand the worry. Bebe's books start from what your child said that day and what they love, not from a content mill, and every book stays on their shelf for you to open together any time. Each book, video and song carries an AI label, and we never ask for or use a photo of your child. If a page doesn't sit right, tell us at contact@alphabebe.ai.
We designed it differently. When your child talks with Bebe the only thing on the screen is Bebe's room: no endless videos, no feed. Your child speaks, Bebe listens, asks, and hands the turn back. It is designed around the back-and-forth that research calls important, but that research looked at conversation with people, so Bebe adds to talk with mum and dad rather than standing in for it. Parents still set the daily time per child.
Bebe is not a therapy tool. If you are worried about a speech delay, talk to a paediatrician or a speech-language therapist first. What Bebe does is listen, wait, and make books and songs out of what your child loves, so there is more to talk about together. Your child's voice is never recorded.
Bebe is not a toy a child hugs alone; it is a family companion used with mum and dad. No recordings are kept, your child's data is never used for ads or sold, and Bebe keeps no secrets from parents. Everything Bebe remembers can be seen and deleted in the parent space, and payments and settings are for grown-ups only.
Bebe is made for a parent to be nearby. Sign-up, consent, payment and the parent space are for grown-ups only, and a child's screens never show a price or a pay button. There is no endless feed, and each child has a daily limit.
No, Bebe is an AI. The conversation, the words and pictures of the books and the videos are generated by AI and can sometimes be wrong. Conversations worth a look are flagged in the parent space, and you can write to contact@alphabebe.ai about anything odd.
No. Speech is only turned into text, and no recording is kept. The transcribed conversation can be read and deleted in the parent space, and your child's data is never used for advertising or sold.
A picture book or a recipe takes 3–5 minutes, a story video 5–8, a finger game 2–4, a song 3–5. You can keep talking with Bebe meanwhile, and you are told when it is ready.
Hearts are what Bebe uses to talk and make things: a storybook takes 60, a minute of voice talk about 20. The 250 welcome hearts make about 4 storybooks. If you want more, the grown-ups' space offers a monthly or yearly plan or heart packs, and a card is asked for only then, with prices shown before any payment.
Cancel the plan any time in one tap in the parent space; payments stop from the next one and what you paid for runs to its end. Bought hearts you have not used can be refunded in the app within 7 days.
Each child gets a profile. Bebe remembers each child separately, and the family shares one set of hearts.
No, it runs in the browser. Add it to the home screen and it opens like an app, with morning greetings as notifications. iPhone, Android and computers all work.
Just an email. 250 hearts, no card.
