Network

One network built to grow.

Starting with our app and robots. Built to welcome other creators and brands.

Diagram. Under PlaiPin, the mobile app, the pet robot and the humanoids each connect to the PlaiPin network. In a dashed box marked Future, creators and brands connect their own character robots to the same network.

120+ PlaiPins adopted in their first few months.

Come meet them.
