We present an embodied conversational assistant (CA) designed specifically for a learning space. We first relate the attributes of our learning space and the needs and opportunities that led to the creation of our CA. We then describe its main qualities, including the mutual assistance designed between the CA and its users. We present a visual narrative of the process of designing and implementing the CA prototype, including scenario building, form making, interaction design, engineering and textile design. We describe the working prototype and initial trials with students. Finally, we discuss the rich potential of designing embodied CAs for specific learning spaces.
