Bring your animatronics to life with AI-powered characters that never stop performing

From haunted houses to theme parks: AI characters that work 24/7, stay in character, and never miss a cue. Start with simple reactions or go full conversation — you control the intelligence (and the budget).

Cut Your Labor Costs

Replace one actor with cogniBOX. Same scares, zero call-outs.

Turn Props Into Attractions

Your static animatronic becomes an interactive character guests remember.

Add Scares Without Actors

Drop a box in any hallway. It listens, reacts, and terrifies — 100% automated.

2-Character Scenes, 1-Person Payroll

Your actor talks to a "ghost" voice that responds perfectly on cue. Every time.

Choose Your Intelligence Level: From Script to Conversation

Not ready for full AI? Start with scripted reactions. Need more? Upgrade anytime. You're in control.

Use our pre-built prompts/responses — or customize your own for cogniBOX.

cogniBOX — React

Guests say specific phrases. cogniBOX fires back with pre-recorded audio. Think of it as a voice-activated sound effect — but way more immersive.

  • 100% Offline — No Internet Connection Required
  • No monthly/ongoing fees — Purchased and owned
  • Guest-initiated phrases → character responses

cogniBOX — Interactive

Motion triggers a scripted greeting. The guest responds. cogniBOX fires back with a matching pre-recorded reply. Two-way interaction that feels alive — but costs like a speaker.

  • 100% Offline — No Internet Connection Required
  • No monthly/ongoing fees — Purchased and owned
  • Motion-triggered opener → guest reply → scripted response

  • True two-way conversation
  • Falls back to cogniBOX Interactive if credits are running low
