The pillow that talks back.

Pillo is a soft, warm AI companion. Say “Hey Pillo” and it listens, talks things through and warms to the temperature of a hug.

Hey Pillo, I can’t switch off tonight.

Long day? Tell me about it. I’ll warm up while you talk.

Warming to 30°C

Three things Pillo does, and does well.

It talks

Real back-and-forth conversation, out loud. Ask a question, think out loud, or ask for a story. Replies come back in seconds.

It warms

A soft heating pad inside warms Pillo to 30°C, close to body temperature, with built-in overheat protection.

It remembers you

With a membership, Pillo remembers what matters to you, from your routines to the people you mention, so every chat picks up where you left off.

Soft on the outside. Smart where it counts.

Everything that makes Pillo work is tucked into one small patch and a heating pad, so the rest is just pillow.

The patch

A far-field microphone, a small speaker tuned for close range, and buttons for power, volume and heat you can find in the dark.

The heater

A carbon-fiber heating pad with temperature sensors keeps Pillo at a gentle 30°C, up to 6 hours on a charge.

The fabric

Hypoallergenic, ultra-soft and cushioned to feel like a real embrace. Charges by USB-C and connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

A day with Pillo

Wake up gently

Pillo greets you with a morning message, the weather and a thought to carry into the day.

Private by default.

You decide when Pillo listens and what it keeps. Here is exactly what happens when you talk to it.

Read about security

  1. You start the chat

    Say “Hey Pillo” or press the button. Pillo isn’t listening before that.

  2. Your voice is encrypted

    A short clip travels securely over your Wi-Fi to our cloud AI.

  3. Pillo answers in seconds

    The reply plays from the patch, and the audio isn’t kept.

  4. Nothing is saved unless you say so

    Turn on Conversation History in the app to keep chats. Delete them anytime.
