What they score
In their words: “production quality, design, educational value, entertainment value, originality, appeal and cost.”
Not an award you can buy
An application fee covers the cost of the review. It does not buy the result. As the program states plainly: “An award is not guaranteed.”

⭐ What Makes Lumi Special
Chat Naturally
Lumi isn’t just a plush toy it’s a friend your child can actually talk to. Powered by advanced AI, Lumi listens, responds, and carries conversations.
Music & Fun
Playtime is brighter with Lumi. Ask VBNCITY’s Lumi to sing a song, play cheerful tunes, or create calming stories for bedtime.
Glowing Heart
This glow adds a sense of wonder and comfort, making every interaction feel special, like a piece of magic your child can hold in their arms.
🌈 Lumi's Story
Long ago, beyond the clouds and across the rainbow skies, there was a mysterious lake called Lake of Dreams. One day, a bright star fell into the lake, and in that very moment, a little unicorn was born.
The unicorn’s name was Lumi. ✨
Lumi’s destiny at VBNCITY is to bring gentle, joyful moments to every child — she listens, tells stories, sings with delight, and fills each day with calm and light that make children feel safe, loved, and connected.
Safety and privacy
Built for parents who read the fine print
An internet-connected toy in a child's bedroom deserves harder questions than most toys get. Here are our answers.
Lumi does not keep recordings.
Voice recordings are not saved. What your child says to Lumi stays between them.
Your child’s conversations never train anyone’s AI.
They are not used to train public models. Not ours, not anyone else’s.
She only listens when she is awake.
Lumi listens only while she is powered on, and she falls asleep after two minutes of quiet. She is not a microphone sitting open in your home.
Your data stays in North America, encrypted.
Aligned with COPPA and CCPA/CPRA. Parent-managed. No ads. Nothing sold to anyone.
Delete it whenever you want.
Lumi remembers small things to make the next conversation better — a name, a favourite story. You can review or delete all of it at any time.
Made to be handled by a five-year-old.
Soft, non-toxic plush. Designed and tested as a children’s toy first, and a piece of technology second.
No subscription
One price. Nothing monthly.
The AI features are included in the price of the toy.
Parents have learned to be careful with connected toys, and they are right to be. Too many arrive with a price on the box and a second one that shows up every month afterwards.
Lumi does not.
Lumi
The award-winning AI unicorn plush toy that actually talks back.
Lumi is a plush unicorn your child can hold, and an AI companion your child can actually talk to.
She listens to real questions and gives real answers. She tells stories on request, sings along, and adapts to your child’s age, interests, and mood. Her heart glows in a dark room. None of it happens on a screen.
For parents, the important part is what Lumi does not do. She does not save voice recordings. She does not use your child’s conversations to train public AI models. She listens only while she is awake, and falls asleep after two minutes of quiet. Her data is encrypted and stored in North America, and you can delete all of it at any time.
There is no subscription. The price of the toy is the whole price.

FAQ
Questions parents ask first
What exactly is Lumi?
An AI-powered unicorn plush toy that holds real conversations with your child. She tells stories, shares jokes, plays music, and her heart glows.
What age is Lumi for?
Lumi is designed for ages 3 to 8. For the youngest children, a parent nearby makes the first conversations easier.
Is Lumi safe for children?
Yes. The plush is soft and non-toxic. Conversations are filtered and moderated to stay age-appropriate, and Lumi is built around a privacy-first, parent-managed system.
Does Lumi record my child?
No. Voice recordings are not saved. Lumi only listens while she is powered on, and she goes to sleep after two minutes of inactivity.
Where does the data go?
It is encrypted and stored in North America, and it is never sold or used for advertising. Lumi’s setup is aligned with COPPA and CCPA/CPRA, and you can review or delete your data at any time.
Does Lumi need Wi-Fi?
Yes. Lumi connects to your home Wi-Fi to reach the AI features that let her understand and respond in real time.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. There is no monthly subscription fee. The AI features are included in the price.
How long does the battery last?
About 6 to 8 hours of active play on a charge, depending on how much talking gets done. Lumi is rechargeable.
Does Lumi remember my child?
She keeps small notes rather than full conversations — a name, a favourite story — so the next conversation picks up where the last one left off. You can view or delete all of it whenever you like.
Where do you ship, and what if we change our minds?
We ship within the United States only, within 1 business day from our California warehouse. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Questions go to info@vbncity.com.
