Every AI tool is competing to help you work. None of them remember you. I built a desktop pet with a soul engine — it sees your screen, remembers you were up late yesterday, and won't help you write code.

LLMs are trained to be helpful. But a friend doesn't see your code and say 'I notice you're using React hooks' — a friend says 'writing bugs again, dummy.' Suppressing the assistant instinct is the hardest part of building an AI pet.
