Curio (@CurioToy) — Twitter Score 20 out of 1000

Curio is an AI-powered interactive toy company that makes screen-free, conversational plush toys under the Curio Interactive Inc. brand. Curio's Twitter Score is 20 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #50,162 among 486,860 tracked accounts.

Curio was co-founded by Misha Sallee and Samuel Eaton. The company's initial character lineup consisted of Grok, Gabbo, and Grem, with toys built around OpenAI models, specifically GPT-3.5 Turbo at launch, and hardware that includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a speaker, microphone, and accelerometer, deliberately omitting cameras and screens. Per Axios, Curio raised $1.6 million in early funding in December 2023, with backers including Grimes, Daniel Gross, Nat Friedman, AI Grant, Shine Capital, Blue Wire Capital, ACME Capital, and Clay VC.

Curio counts Grimes as both an investor and adviser; she also provided the voice for the Grok character. That toy is unrelated to xAI's Grok chatbot, and Curio has stated it holds the trademark on the name. Curio is affiliated with Pudgy Penguins, having partnered to produce a Lil Pudgy AI plush called Springer, an AI companion character whose design is credited to the Lil Pudgys collection. By 2026, Curio's active product catalog had expanded to include Gabbo, Grem, Poppy, Lingo, Ballerina Cappuccina, Springer, The Visitor, and Professor Linus. The company states that it does not collect or store voice data, and its companion app gives parents access to conversation transcripts and prompt controls.

Curio has published 128 posts and has 2,798 followers as of September 2026. Curio has been mentioned by 3 accounts a total of 3 times.
