Bunlira AI Kids App: Turn Children's Drawings into Animated and 3D Characters (iOS / Android)

Job ID: 40286038

Budget: €250 – €750 EUR

Project Overview

We are developing a children's creative platform called Bunlira, where kids can draw characters and bring them to life using AI.

Children can:

Draw inside the app or upload a photo of a drawing

Transform their drawing into animated characters

Convert drawings into 3D characters

Interact with their characters through voice and educational activities

The goal is to create an emotional connection between the child and their character.

Characters should be able to:

move

talk

react

teach simple concepts (numbers, alphabet, basic interactions)

Platforms

The system consists of:

Mobile App

iOS

Android

Web Platform

Web version should allow:

login

view created characters

manage purchases/subscriptions

manage account

Drawing functionality is not required on the web platform.

Core Features
Drawing Input

Users can:

draw inside the app

upload a photo of a drawing

Character Creation Modes
Mode 1 – Animated Drawing

The drawing is:

background removed

converted into a 2D animated character

animated using rigging / skeleton animation

Mode 2 – 3D Character (Basic Style)

The drawing is transformed into a simple 3D character that resembles the original drawing.

Mode 3 – 3D Character (Advanced Style)

The drawing is transformed into a more detailed 3D character, still keeping the visual style of the drawing.

Offline Functionality (Important)

Some functionality must work without internet.

Offline features should include:

drawing

simple animation of existing characters

basic interactions with characters

educational content (numbers, alphabet)

Online connection will be required for:

AI generation

3D character generation

cloud synchronization

purchases

plush toy orders

Character Interaction

Characters should be able to interact with the child.

Examples:

counting exercises

alphabet learning

asking questions

simple conversations

This will be supported by AI but must be safe for children.

No open chat systems should be used.

TV Projection

The app must support casting characters to a TV.

Examples:

AirPlay

Chromecast

Screen casting

Example flow:

Child draws on phone
→ character appears on TV
→ character talks and interacts

In-Game Shop

The app includes an in-game store.

Users can purchase:

additional characters

new worlds

skins / outfits

voice packs

animation packs

Pricing Model
App Price

$4.99 one-time purchase

Includes creation of 3 characters.

Additional Characters

After the included characters are used:

$2 per new character.

Monthly Subscription

Optional subscription plans.

Example:

Basic plan
5 characters per month

Premium plan
20 characters per month

Final pricing will be defined later.

Plush Toy Integration

Users should be able to order a plush toy based on their character.

Flow:

Character created

Parent selects “Order Plush Toy”

Character model is exported

Order is sent to manufacturing partner

Delivery time:
~1–2 months.

The system must support:

character model export

order management

parental approval

Parent Control & Safety

Because this is a children's app, we require:

parent control area

moderated content

restricted AI responses

purchase confirmations

Technical Expectations

Developers should have experience with:

mobile app development

AI / machine learning

computer vision

animation systems

cloud architecture

scalable systems

Project Phases

Phase 1 – MVP

drawing upload

animated character

basic interaction

shop system

Phase 2

3D characters

advanced AI interaction

TV casting

Phase 3

plush toy integration

additional worlds and features

Scalability

The platform should be designed to support very high image processing volumes (10,000+ images per day).

Efficient AI pipelines and infrastructure will be required.
