AI Stickers Spark Creative Fun for Kids
25 Nov
Summary
- Voice-activated printer transforms ideas into custom stickers.
- Toy blends AI imagination with hands-on coloring and sticking.
- Startup Hapiko founded by ex-Grailed and NYT Games execs.

Hapiko has launched Stickerbox, an innovative AI toy that prints custom stickers from voice prompts. This $99.99 device, resembling a modern Etch A Sketch, allows children to describe images, which are then generated by AI and printed as stickers. The stickers can be colored and applied, offering a unique blend of imagination and tactile creativity.
The startup was co-founded by Arun Gupta and Robert Whitney, who bring experience from companies like Grailed and The New York Times Games. Whitney’s inspiration stemmed from his son’s desire for custom coloring pages, leading to the idea of a device that could instantly bring imaginative requests to life.
Stickerbox prioritizes kid-safe AI, filtering inappropriate content and focusing on original designs. Hapiko plans future premium features and a companion app, aiming to be a trusted brand for AI-powered play that balances screen time with real-world activities.
