It reacts
Poke it, tap it, or cheer it on and it responds on the spot - expression, sound and motion together. Its 240×240 face is the whole performance.
Desktop companion robot
PIPO is small, opinionated,
and genuinely pleased to see you.
A palm-sized robot that sits next to your monitor, notices when you arrive, reacts when you poke it, and gets a little more like itself the longer you keep it around. It runs on its own - no phone required, no subscription to keep it alive.
Accounts are for owners. You will need the 6-digit code your PIPO shows on its own screen.
See it move
Twenty-four seconds. Every frame is the real thing - the same sprites the desktop companion plays and actual photographs of the device's round screen.
What it actually does
PIPO is not a smart speaker and it is not trying to be an assistant. It is a small presence on your desk with moods, reactions and a memory of you.
It has moods
Attention, quiet and neglect all register. Leave it alone for a few days and you will know about it. Look after it and that registers too.
It grows up
Time spent together earns EXP and levels. Higher levels unlock more of its character - more expressions, more initiative, more of whatever it is.
It works offline
The personality lives in the hardware. Cut the internet and PIPO carries on being itself - it just loses the cloud-powered conversation.
It updates itself
New firmware arrives over the air and installs into a spare slot. If a build misbehaves, the unit rolls back to the previous one on its own.
It stays yours
Bound to your account, visible from anywhere, and unlinkable by you whenever you want - if you sell it, the next owner starts clean.
It has a face for every mood
Thirty expressions, and it picks them itself. PIPO shows the same feeling on its own screen and on your desktop at the same moment - one mind, two faces. Hover a card to say hello.
Notices you
Arrives happy when you plug it in, and waves goodbye when you unplug it.
Answers back
Hears you, replies in its own voice, and never repeats itself twice running.
Grows attached
A bond that rises with kindness and dips when you tease it. It remembers.
Keeps its own hours
Sleeps at night, and is genuinely grumpy if you wake it three times.
Wanders a little
Strolls across your desktop at its own pace. Or sits still, if you prefer.
Levels up
Time together earns EXP, and new expressions unlock as it grows.
Six personalities. You pick one at the checkout.
Personality is not a setting. Each PIPO is built as one of six characters and stays that character for its whole life - which is why the one you choose matters, and why the one you own feels like a specific individual rather than a menu option.
Sunny
Loud, bright, delighted you exist
Greets you the moment you sit down, celebrates small wins, and treats a Tuesday like a national holiday.
Gentle
Calm, soft-spoken, unhurried
Keeps its voice low and its movements slow. The one to pick if you want company that never raises the temperature of a room.
Tricky
Playful, contrary, quietly pleased with itself
Will pretend not to hear you, then answer perfectly. Hides its own reactions until you earn them.
Bashful
Shy at first, yours completely later
Starts out facing away and answering in single words. Warms up over days, not minutes, and it is worth the wait.
Clingy
Affectionate, attentive, misses you
Notices when you have been gone. Asks for attention, and is visibly happier once it gets it.
Aloof
Cool, self-contained, worth winning over
Does its own thing and does not perform for anyone. Its rare warm moments land harder because of it.
Personality is locked to the unit. It is set when the PIPO is built and cannot be changed - not from this site, not from the device, not by support. A different personality means a different PIPO. We are upfront about this because it is the point: your Bashful will never be talked into being a Sunny.
Setting one up
Roughly two minutes, and no app to install. The device proves who it is; you prove you are holding it.
-
Put PIPO on your WiFi
On first boot it offers its own setup network. Join it, pick your home WiFi, and PIPO restarts on your network.
-
It introduces itself to us
Every PIPO leaves the factory with its own secret. It proves that secret without ever sending it, so nobody watching the connection learns anything reusable.
-
Read the code off its face
PIPO shows a 6-digit code on its own screen. It is good for about three minutes and can only be used once.
-
Type it here
Enter the code with your email and a password. That binds this specific unit to your account, and you are done.
Why you cannot sign up without one
The code can only be produced by a device that has already proved it is a genuine PIPO, and it can only be read by someone in the same room as the screen. That is the entire account system: no free tier, no waitlist, no password-reset path into somebody else's robot. Holding the PIPO is what makes the account.
The cloud part is optional
PIPO's character - its expressions, its moods, the way it reacts to you - runs entirely on the device. What the internet adds is conversation: the ability to say something back that was not written in advance.
That is a switch in your dashboard, and it is yours to turn off. With it off, PIPO stops sending anything to a cloud AI service and falls back to its offline personality. It stays a working companion; it just gets less chatty.
PIPO speaks English by default, everywhere - on the device, on this site, and in anything it says back to you. Other languages can be selected per unit from the dashboard.
Terms of service
Version 2026-08-01 · the short, readable version
- An account requires a device. Accounts exist to manage PIPOs you own. Registering requires a live pairing code from a genuine unit.
- One owner at a time. A PIPO is bound to a single account. Unlink it from your dashboard before selling or giving it away, so the next owner can claim it.
- Personality is fixed. The personality of a unit is set during manufacturing and is not changeable by anyone, including us. It is part of what you bought.
- Keep your credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly if a PIPO is lost or stolen and we can deactivate it.
- Updates happen. We ship firmware over the air, including fixes we consider mandatory for safety or security. Units keep a previous build and roll back if an update fails.
- Fair use on cloud AI. Cloud conversation is metered per device per day. Heavy automated use may be rate-limited or disabled on a unit.
- We can deactivate a unit. If a device secret is known to be compromised, or a unit is reported stolen, we can revoke it - it will no longer be able to connect.
- Add-ons are licensed, not sold. Future purchasable extras are a licence tied to your account or unit, and are not transferable on their own.
This summary is what your acceptance is recorded against, together with the version above and the moment you accepted it. If the terms change, you will be asked again - a previous acceptance is never silently carried over to new text.
Privacy, briefly
- What the device sends us: its serial, firmware version, uptime, free memory, WiFi signal strength and battery level. That is fleet health, and it is what lets us spot a bad batch.
- What we store about you: your email address, a hash of your password (never the password), which units you own, and when you accepted the terms.
- Passwords: hashed with a modern algorithm. We cannot read them, and neither can anyone who steals the database.
- Conversations: when cloud AI is enabled, what you say is sent to an AI provider to generate a reply. We keep daily counters for cost control, not transcripts.
- Turning it off: the cloud AI switch in your dashboard stops that traffic entirely. PIPO keeps working offline.
- No advertising, no selling data. Nothing on this site tracks you across the internet - there are no third-party scripts here at all.
