The story

A garden, a robot
and a lot of patience.

A seven-year-old girl named Mia and a small glowing robot named Rafiki build a garden together. For anyone who has ever wondered what it looks like when AI helps without taking over.

  • A girl rests her chin on her hands at a sunny window, looking out at a bare, dusty lot.
  • The girl digs the soil with a shovel while neighbours look on and a small glowing robot floats beside her.
  • Neighbours of every age gather in the garden with the girl, sharing seeds and tools as the little robot hovers above.
  • The girl spreads her arms wide in a garden full of sunflowers, tomatoes and flowers, with the glowing robot at her side.
