New 'Billy's Lab' feature gives Lingokids Studios the ability to go from concept to live prototype in under two weeks, validated at scale by the platform's massive young audience

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lingokids, the No. 1 interactive entertainment platform for young kids, has launched Billy's Lab, a new section of the app where kids play early-stage prototypes of interactive experiences built by Lingokids Studios, the company's in-house production team.

AI-accelerated design and development has transformed the speed of the studio's creative pipeline. Lingokids Studios now moves from concept to playable prototype in about a week, with only 20-30% of prototypes advancing into full production. The rest are cut based on how kids actually behave — not how adults predict they will.

With more than one million daily active users and 20 million kids interacting across the platform each month, Lingokids has a built-in advantage most studios lack: scale. Billy's Lab turns that audience into a real-time feedback engine, generating behavioral data on how children ages 2-8 interact with new content. The platform measures:

• Whether kids understand what to do without any explanation or text
• Whether gestures and mechanics are intuitive for pre-literate users
• Whether kids stay engaged and return to play again
• Which experiences kids choose to "heart" as favorites

This matters because building interactive content for children under six is a fundamentally different design challenge. Pre-literate kids can't read menus, follow written instructions, or navigate standard interfaces. Every interaction must be visual, gestural, and intuitive. Lingokids has spent over a decade solving this problem across more than 3,000 interactive experiences, and Billy's Lab accelerates the cycle further.

"We can go from an idea to a prototype played by thousands of kids in under two weeks," says Cristobal Viedma, CEO and founder of Lingokids. "AI accelerated the build, but it's our community of over a million daily users who decide what ships. No focus group can replicate that."

The system works across both Lingokids' own beloved characters — including Billy, Eliot and others loved by kids around the world — as well as partner content. Whether building new experiences for Blippi, Pocoyo or the many other highly recognizable characters from Lingokids' collaborations with major entertainment brands, Billy's Lab gives the studio team immediate behavioral signals on what resonates before committing to full production.

"Prototypes help us answer one critical question early: 'Is this fun and intuitive at the same time?'" says Vladimir Klimov, Lingokids Studios Director. "The combination of AI-assisted production and real-time testing at this scale means we produce more interactive kids content in a month than most studios ship in a year. The Lingokids community are now essentially co-creators of the content library — a feedback loop between our studio and its audience that gets tighter with every cycle."
