An AI Sketchbot is a compact robotic drawing machine — a robot artist — that uses a real pen on real cardstock to hand-draw a custom keepsake portrait live at your event. A guest poses, the bot scans the photo, and the drawing is finished in a minute or two depending on the selected style. Nothing is printed: the lines you see are physically drawn by the machine while guests watch.
Plan around 40–60 cards per hour per bot; the selected art style, how many guests share a card, and guest flow all affect output. Two bots roughly double capacity — a two-bot, three-hour activation typically produces up to 300+ cards. For events over about 100–120 guests we recommend the two-bot Duo experience so the line never gets long enough for guests to walk away.
A photo booth produces an instant photo; an AI Sketchbot produces an original pen drawing made in front of the guest. The drawing takes longer, and that's the point — the process becomes the entertainment, a crowd forms to watch, and the finished card gets kept far longer than a photo strip.
A human caricature artist typically draws 10–20 guests per hour and their style is fixed. A sketchbot averages 40–60 per hour per bot, produces a consistent look you approve in advance, and adds a technology spectacle a human artist can't. Many clients book the caricature upgrade to get cartoon-style portraits with robotic throughput.
Yes — every booking includes a professional on-site attendant who handles setup, queue management, and the guest experience for the entire run time. You never have to staff the activation yourself.
Absolutely. Cards can include your names, monogram, hashtag, event date, company logo, brand colors, or full themed artwork. Our designers can match your invitation suite or brand guidelines during the pre-event design consultation.
Standard cards include a beautifully illustrated couple or character design. The caricature upgrade unlocks a portrait-quality cartoon style so each guest can request a personal caricature drawn live from their own photo.
Plan for a 6' x 6' footprint per bot, plus a few feet for the line. We bring the table, signage, and — if you add them — the branded tablecloth and the live-view TV.
We need one standard 110V outlet within 25 feet of the setup. Wi-Fi is helpful but not required, because the bots run on local hardware — which also means you can skip expensive convention-center internet packages.
Yes, and that's half the magic. Add the live-view TV upgrade to mirror each drawing on a 65" screen so the whole room can watch the pen work in real time.
Yes, with shade, a level surface, and protection from wind. In Florida heat and humidity we plan the setup in advance so ink dries clean and the paper stays flat.
Saturdays book out 4–8 months ahead, especially during South Florida wedding season and convention weeks. Your date is locked with a signed agreement and deposit.
We're based in South Florida and serve Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and the Florida Keys with no travel fee, plus Orlando and Tampa regularly. National bookings are welcome with travel quoted transparently in advance.
Every event is quoted individually because pricing depends on bot count, hours, location, and upgrades such as the caricature style, live-view TV, and branded tablecloth. Send your date and guest count and we return a tailored quote within 24 hours.
A guest photo is used only to generate that guest's sketch and their digital copy, and it is processed on our local event hardware — no venue Wi-Fi required. Participation is always optional, we don't sell guest data, and any QR lead capture runs on an explicit opt-in with consent copy you approve before the event. Full details are on our privacy and consent page.
Yes. Optional QR capture can be configured with explicit consent and a client-approved privacy flow, so attendees register while they wait, then leave carrying a branded card that keeps your name in their hand long after the show.
