Hapiko Stickerbox

The global smart AI toy market is projected to grow from $18.52 billion in 2025 to more than $55 billion in 2035. “But when you see the wave of AI toys and every single one is basically a chatbot in a teddy bear, [it’s] like, ‘Who asked for this?’” says Stickerbox CEO and cofounder Arun Gupta. His invention—a small, red handheld box—puts AI to work more purposefully, designing stickers based on verbal user prompts (“Cowboy cat playing guitar”), then printing them in black-and-white for coloring. The box comes with 265 stickers and eight colored pencils, and features built-in filters to block unsafe suggestions.
