My mom got our little guy a Poe Play-ai story telling bear.
The unit is a bluetooth speaker with a servomotor set up to move based on the volume level to flap the jaw. The left and right ear are a blue and green light with a little contact button inside.
Sound quality is about as good as a bottom tier bluetooth speaker, not great.
The unit uses an AI app to generate a story with characters you pick from a list using chatgpt, then reads it out by playing the sound file on your phone.
The interface is fairly limited, and so you don't have much control over the stories that get generated. You are supposed to be able to pick who the protaganists and antagonists are, but I found the stories were just kind of a gray paste where there wasn't really much coherence in the stories. I don't really like this feature.
One thing that's nice though is you can play anything and it's fine. We played some of the winnie the pooh audio book and it was just fine, then some books read aloud on youtube.
Another thing I'd be cautious about is right now the app is free, but not forever according to the website. It looks like eventually you'll run out of free credits. I suspect this means the toy will eventually become a pay to play device on the AI side, and it'll really need to produce better stories to be worth paying for on that front.
