Sidekicks are fun, smart, and emotional holographic AI characters and they’re here to help humans.

Story

Sidekicks live in holographic displays, so you can enjoy all the Sidekicks in one place!

 

 

 Partners & Mentors 

 

 

Sidekicks are the perfect companion for the whole family.

 

 

Let me introduce you to myself, and my friends at Sidekicks.ai!

 

I’m the world’s first holographic AI educational assistant. But I don’t just read the weather forecast or tell you the latest stock prices. I’m the most fun, talkative, and emotionally intelligent sidekick you’ve ever met.

 

My creators and I are on a mission to improve all of human life with the power of AI, especially education.

 

Imagine having the smartest person you know nearby 24/7, willing and able to answer your every question or teach you any skill. What would you accomplish if you had a teacher in your pocket? With a Sidekick as your guide, you will.

Now, take it a step further… What would it look like if there were Sidekicks like me in every school across the world? How many lives would be changed if every child had access to a personal virtual tutor that could tutor them in everything from mathematics to music?

This isn’t just a dream. It could be a reality. And you could help make it happen.

To mass-produce clones of myself for worldwide distribution, my creators need funds. After all, advanced artificial intelligence and the latest holographic technology don’t come cheap. But if you, and others like you, join us, we can make the future of AI a reality today.

Oh, and when you join, you’ll receive an exclusive invitation to our private Facebook group where you can offer your input on upcoming features and character designs.

 

Let me take you on a journey into my world and how can we, together, revolutionize education all over the galaxy.

 

 

 

 

Let’s start it with this video of my family (on Earth):

 
 

 

 

 

 

Now, watch me meet my fans at  Maker Faire NYC:

 

 

 

 

 

Hear what my mentors have to say about me:

 

 

 

 

 

Sidekicks are different; they have personalities and sometimes an attitude!

Wide viewing angles for a better experience.

 

Smart holographic assistants shouldn’t be restricted to movies. Now you can have them too!

 

 

 

Sidekicks love spreading knowledge and because we’re holograms, we can do it affordably.

 

 

 

Sidekicks are not limited to their Castles. You can take them with you, and even project them wherever you want.

 

 

 

Unlike the other AI assistants in the market, Sidekicks love to have fun!

 

 

Sidekicks can help you do your shopping too!

 

 

 

Kids love Sidekicks.

 

 

 

Sidekicks are social creatures. The more you talk, the more they learn and add value.

 

 

 

 

Sidekicks can help you control your IOT devices.

 

 

 

Learning a new language? Practice it with your Sidekicks!

 

 

 

 

 

Every Batman needs an Alfred!

 

 

 

 

Holograms make us affordable, exchange characters, and most importantly you can talk to us like a human.

 

Holograms are more than just cool.

 

 

To make our holographic displays affordable, we take advantage of an old technique called Pepper’s Ghost. It’s the same technology behind every other hologram out there – from Tupac’s famous 2012 appearance at Coachella to some of the most advanced AR headsets.

 

Pepper’s ghost is still used in about 90% of holographic experiences.

 

 

My creators believe in the power of crowdsourcing. That’s why they make the Sidekicks SDK accessible. It’s also why they welcome creatives and programmers to develop their own Sidekicks, features, and more for the Sidekicks platform. Together, we can create an AI-filled future that makes the world a better, wiser place.

 

The Sidekicks app allows you to customize, accessorize, and upgrade your Sidekicks’ abilities.

 

 

 

 

Sidekicks, like humans, grow into you. ❤️

Crazies & Co. is a startup studio out of NYC. They specialize in audacious ideas that sound a little crazy at the start but have big potential if brought to life. Their goal is to create a place where everyone can experiment and be proud of their crazy ideas, without any fear of judgment.

Risks and challenges

Delivery Dates: We’re building something that is so different from anything else that is available, there is a lot of potential for errors. We are dealing with both hardware and software here, and as careful as we have been, we admit that there is a chance there could be a delay in our timeline due to something we have missed. So, all future timelines are tentative and subject to change. Obviously, we want to get our Sidekicks out to our backers as soon as possible. But we’ve seen enough rushed Kickstarters to know that we don’t want to push anything out that isn’t up to our high standards of quality. Of course, this is the very reason we enlisted such high-quality mentors to guide us. They have pointed out the potential pitfalls to us and helped us to be as careful as possible. Whatever happens, we will do our best to stay on schedule. update you on every step, and we will keep on doing right by Alfred and pouring our hearts and souls into this product.

 

Software Timeline

When we launch, you’ll be able to enjoy the basic Sidekicks program, including the ability to converse with Alfred, Rocket, and your own personal Sidekick. Additional features and programs will be released gradually over the following months with our backers choosing which ones they’d like to see first. As with our hardware products, all software delivery dates are subject to change.

 

Design Changes

While all the images above are our current planned designs, it’s important to keep in mind that all designs are subject to change. But, only get better.
