About the Series

Ollie & Louie Mysteries is a charming, STEM-friendly picture book series that follows two lovable dogs — Ollie, a mini golden retriever with a big heart, and Louie, a clever husky with a calm, no-nonsense vibe. Alongside their feline Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) friend Aïda, they embark on silly, sweet, and sometimes squirrel-filled mysteries that spark curiosity and laughter.

Each story blends humor, emotional intelligence, and real-world tech concepts like artificial intelligence, statistics, and teamwork — all wrapped in gentle rhymes and cozy illustrations.

Whether they’re solving a missing ball crisis, decoding squirrel conspiracies, or helping Aïda untangle a digital glitch, Ollie and Louie always remind us that the best adventures begin with friendship, wonder, and just a little bit of tail-wagging chaos.

Designed for ages 3–8, the series is perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, and early conversations about how AI is becoming part of everyday life. The series gently introduces key AI concepts, helping educators and parents teach discernment, responsibility, and imagination, so that our children grow up not just using AI, but shaping it ethically and brilliantly.

Book Spotlight

A rhyming mystery starring two dogs, a robot cat, and a gentle introduction to artificial intelligence for kids.

When Ollie the golden retriever loses his favorite ball, it’s a total disaster. But with the help of his best friend Louie — and Aïda, a kind and curious GenAI kitten — the trio sets out to solve the mystery in a heartwarming adventure full of teamwork, logic, and tail wags.

Perfect for ages 3–8, Mystery of the Missing Ball is more than just a funny story. It’s a playful, age-appropriate entry point into the world of artificial intelligence, written to spark curiosity and invite conversation.

As Andrej Karpathy — leading AI researcher and one of the minds behind Tesla’s self-driving technology — says:

    “LLMs are people spirits: stochastic simulations of people.”

    This book imagines what might happen when such a spirit lives in a robot kitten with whiskers, purrs, and a knack for problem-solving.

Whether read at bedtime or in the classroom, this story opens the door for parents and kids to explore how machines learn, think (sort of), and make mistakes — just like we do.
