What you’ll get with Doly

Doly is a long-term learning platform disguised as a lovable desk companion. Its on-device AI helps it feel “alive,” which keeps kids and teens engaged long enough to build real skills—not just try it once.

With a clear path from Blockly to Python/C++, plus maker creativity through 3D-printable add-ons (free and open-source) they can print, paint, and customize, Doly stays valuable as their interests and abilities grow—not a toy.

  • Engagement that lasts: A responsive, “alive” companion that motivates practice

  • Skills that grow: Blockly → Python/C++ with real robotics control

  • Creativity included: Print, paint, and customize add-ons

Coding

Begin with Blockly blocks, then move into Python or C++ when they’re ready.

Robotics

Control real movement and sensors with expandable Raspberry Pi hardware.

Creativity

3D print and paint add-on to customize Doly. Start with ready-to-print designs.

The Learning Path

Start beginner-friendly, then build toward real programming, without switching platforms.

Step 1 — Blockly Beginner
Drag-and-drop blocks to control movement and simple behaviors.

Step 2 — Blockly Standard
Build routines, logic, and projects with more control and options.

Step 3 — Blockly Advanced
Create more complex behaviors and combine multiple actions.

Step 4 — Python / C++
Graduate into real-world coding when they’re ready to go deeper.

Real robotics

Doly isn’t a “press-a-button” toy. It’s built as a real robotics platform where students learn by making the robot move, react, and follow logic—then improving projects over time.

This helps students learn cause-and-effect, logic, and engineering thinking through real movement.

What they can do with robotics:

  • Program real movement: drive, turn, and navigate
  • Create reactions: respond to events, sensors, and routines
  • Build projects with increasing difficulty: from simple behaviors to multi-step logic


A platform that grows with skill level

Unlike fixed-configuration robots, Doly is designed to be expandable. As learners progress, they can extend what Doly can do with new modules and hardware add-ons, so the learning doesn’t “cap out.”

Why this matters for parents/educators:

  • Supports beginner → advanced growth without switching robots
  • Great for STEM clubs and long-term home projects
  • Encourages problem-solving and engineering thinking


Hands-on expansion (for curious builders)

Doly includes real connectivity for future projects—so advanced students can explore electronics and robotics more deeply when they’re ready.

  • Servo support for moving parts
  • I2C/Qwiic for plug-and-play sensors
  • GPIO / UART / USB for advanced experiments

Creativity & Add-Ons (free to download)

Bring making into the learning loop: use free, open-source 3D-printable add-ons to build functional upgrades, transform Doly’s look, or print simple pieces to paint and customize—no CAD needed.

Doly is designed to grow with learners over time. Beginners can download and print ready-made add-ons with no hassle, while advanced makers can design their own upgrades and level up faster using our open-source guides and community resources.

  • Free & open-source printable files

  • Print → paint → personalize → attach

  • A platform to create and invent new add-ons

  • Perfect for STEAM crafts and confidence-building

Trust, Privacy & Peace of Mind

Privacy-first by design

Doly is built for homes and classrooms where trust matters. Core experiences are designed around on-device AI, meaning your interactions are processed locally on the robot—not sent to the cloud—so families and educators stay in control.

Doly is a product you own, not a service you rent. There are no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no surprise fees just to keep it working or to keep learning.

On-device AI

Processing happens on the robot, locally

No cloud dependence

On-device learning and interaction

No subscriptions

Predictable cost, long-term value

Backed by hundreds of Kickstarter supporters.

My kid started with Blockly in one afternoon, and kept coming back. The fact that Doly grows into Python later makes it feel like a real investment.
Parent of an 11-year-old
The add-ons are the hook in our house. 3D Printing and painting something, then coding Doly, kept my son engaged way longer than any ‘coding app’.
Parent
Doly is the successor I wanted: on-device AI without cloud connection, fun for my kids, and a serious robotics platform.
Parent of two (10 & 13)
My kids are having a blast with the games and now they’re excited to build a maze and use Blockly to navigate Doly through it.

FAQ

What ages is Doly best for?

Doly supports a wide range of learners because it’s progressive by skill level (Blockly → Python/C++). Recommended for ages 8+; younger learners require parent/educator guidance. Doly is a long-term learning platform, not a toy.

No. Doly has no subscription and no hidden fees, you buy the robot and keep using it.

Core learning and interaction are designed for on-device processing, so Doly doesn’t depend on a constant cloud connection. Internet is only needed for optional features (like updates or online services such as weather).

Yes, Doly uses local AI on the device to make interactions feel more responsive and “alive,” which helps learners stay engaged and keep practicing over time.

No. We do not collect any personal data.

Yes, Doly includes free, open-source 3D-printable add-on files you can download, print, and personalize.
