A free, lightweight desktop app for Mac and Windows. A small mascot floats above whatever you're working on and connects you to the AI you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity or Muse) through the session you're logged into, so it never asks for or stores your password. Type or talk to it and the answer appears in a bubble that fades after 30 seconds. It also opens apps and pages, sets timers, adjusts volume, keeps a local memory, gives a daily brief and a Focus mode. 10 languages.

Could you build this?
Partial The floating mascot UI is buildable, but connecting to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and others through the user's existing logged-in session without storing passwords depends on fragile, provider-specific session handling that vibe coding alone won't make reliable.
What it would actually take: Build a native desktop app (Electron or Tauri) with an always-on-top transparent window, plus a per-provider adapter layer that relays messages through the user's authenticated browser session, likely via a managed browser or extension. The hard part is keeping those adapters working as providers change their web frontends and auth flows, while staying within terms of service. This needs desktop-app engineers with browser-automation and security expertise, and possibly partnerships or official APIs with the AI vendors.
