Interactive bedtime stories by Naani

She tells a story. Your child tells it back.

YouTube talks AT your child. Naani talks WITH them. She asks a question inside the story, your child answers out loud — and Naani replies, by name, in her warm voice. Every night.

Why Naani exists

The most important teacher in Indian childhood has gone quiet

Every night, something is missing between the phone and the pillow. You feel it.

Then

A child fell asleep on Naani's lap, mid-story. Hindi absorbed without a lesson. Values through story, never lecture.

Now

Nuclear families. Grandparents an ocean away — or gone. Bedtime outsourced to autoplay.

Every night, something is missing between the phone and the pillow. You feel it.

Naani's stories still live in our hearts. Don't you want your child to carry them too?

Screens took bedtime. Take it back — this time, technology is on your side.

Meet Naani

A grandmother,
not a story app

The same warm Naani you loved — and her beloved stories. Unhurried, gently playful, impossible not to love. She doesn't play stories at your child. She tells stories to them — one story, one soft lesson, good night, little one.

Every night. One story. Naani's voice.

She doesn't play stories at your child. She tells stories to them.

She listens back

Naani asks questions inside the story and responds to what your child actually says.

Knows your child

"Aarav, do you remember what happened to Chintu yesterday?" Their name, their pace, their favourite animal.

The Indian canon

Panchatantra, Krishna ji, festival tales, folk wisdom — values woven into every story.

One story, then sleep

A built-in end to the day. No autoplay, no rabbit holes, no "one more video."

Hear the difference

She listens back

Mid-story, Naani asks a question — and answers your child's reply with warmth and love. Like only a Naani can.

Ask Naani for a story — she listens back

Apps play. Alexa answers. Naani listens.

Original Naani tales
For parents

Safe by design — not by promise

You've read the AI headlines. So did we — Naani was built by parents who read them too. No open chat, nothing stored, nothing hidden from you.

No open chat

Naani can only speak pre-approved, pre-recorded lines. Interaction lives inside the story — by architecture, not policy.

Nothing is stored

What your child says is never saved. Naani's memory is the story — and the profile you created.

You see everything

Every session summarised in your parent app. You hold the account; your child never does.

One story, then sleep

Sessions end. Always. Naani says good night and means it — no engagement loops for children.

You choose the story worlds too — including a simple on/off for mythology, so Naani fits your family exactly.

For families everywhere

From New Delhi to New York

An ocean can take you far from home. It shouldn't take home away from your child.

Let Naani say good night tonight

Her stories survived a thousand years by being told. Don't let them stop at you.

"Naani never really left. She was waiting for the technology to catch up."
