MonkeyBots
make all things smarter.

Smart Routines allow your phone or AI assistant
to directly interface with the real world.

Retrofit the devices you own and love.

Physical reminders are more poetic
than another push notification.

The Industrial Design is unobtrusive.
It anchors the color and texture of the 3D-printed tool.

Each tool is a compliant mechanism,
thoughtfully designed for a satisfying snap.

Monkey See — Monkey Do.
Intuitively encode movements.

LEGO compatible on top and bottom.

90 seconds.
Watch with sound.
It will all make sense.


Small robots move things
when your phone has something to say.

Grandma's picture slowly turns away, if you forget to call.
The coffee maker starts just before your alarm rings.
Your pill bottle rattles when it's time.
Rather straightforward, really.

Your phone already knows everything.
The world just needs a nudge.
