Description
Updated with GPT-6 Astra, PetOS is a local-first desktop duo for Windows and macOS that turns an animated companion into a useful layer for everyday work. Ask questions with text or images, open chat anywhere with a global shortcut, create reminders, run focus sessions, and keep context on-device. Connect Telegram and WeChat to continue from your phone. Link Codex and WorkBuddy to follow clear, human-readable agent progress instead of raw logs. No API key required.

Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
