AI Desktop Companion

A small bird that lives on your desktop. A locally-run LLM drives its personality, memory, and evolution over time.

Animations

Dynamic weight-driven animation system. Current animations include idle, flight, sleep, and dance if you ask nicely.

Interactivity

Pet, poke, or talk to the bird. Reacts relatively quickly and remembers your interactions.. so don't poke too much.

Evolution

Personality and animation weights shift slowly over time from user interactions and environment cues.

Memory

A running history log shapes the LLM context. Give the bird continuity across sessions.. if you ever turn the bird off for some reason pfft.
