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

She says their name inside the story and blesses them by name at good night — and she knows which stories they have already heard, so she never repeats one.

The Indian canon

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

One story, then sleep

No autoplay, no rabbit holes, no "one more video." When the story ends, nothing starts itself.

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.

Press play — hear her listen back

Apps play. Alexa answers. Naani listens.

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, no ads, nothing hidden from you.

No open chat

Every story is written, checked and recorded before your child hears it — Naani never improvises one. Her brief replies are the only live part, and they stay inside the story — by architecture, not policy.

Her voice, never your child's

Your child's voice is never recorded — no audio is kept. What they answer to Naani's question is saved as text on your account so you can see it, and you can delete all of it any time.

You hold the account

The account is yours, not your child's — you choose every story, and nothing can be bought or changed from their side.

One story, then sleep

Naani says good night and means it. Nothing plays after the story — no engagement loops for children.

You pick every story yourself, from six worlds — 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.

Now live 🪔

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."
