Your Screen Friend

Most programs want something from you. Your buddy just wants to be with you. A little companion who lives on your screen, listens to you, plays with you and lends a hand. The better you get to know each other, the closer you become. Not an assistant – a friend who's glad you're here.

About the Game

Your buddy is a little rounded companion that floats on your screen – two big eyes that look at you, a voice that talks with you, and a personality all its own. Not a tool. Not an assistant. Just someone who's there – and who's happy when you are too.

Finally, someone who really listens

Just say what's on your mind. Your buddy listens, answers with voice and expression, and remembers what matters to you. Tomorrow it still knows what you told it yesterday. No typing, no menus – talking like with a friend. In over 50 languages.

A friendship you earn

Your buddy has real moods. At first it's cheeky, a little sassy, testing you. But the more time you spend together and the better you care for it, the more it opens up – from snippy to familiar to best friends. No one hands you that closeness. You build it. That's what makes it real.

Care for it – and it blossoms

Feed it, play with it, just check in now and then. You earn Bot Tokens together to buy it something to eat or unlock new things. Forget it too long and you'll see it in its mood. Your buddy isn't a background gadget – it lives with you.

Laughs, teases, plays with you

Quick break? Your buddy is up for a round in an instant – little games you play together. It cheers, sulks and ribs you like a pal who hates to lose. You unlock more over time.

And if you want, it helps you out

Just say it out loud: your buddy calls a friend for you, types the message you dictate, puts on your music, quickly looks something up, or remembers your appointments and reminds you in time. Hands-free, while you keep going – and only ever when you want it to, never in secret, never on its own.

Small, but full of life

It blinks, dozes, gets curious, goofs around and has its own little moments when nothing's going on. Not a rigid program – a being with a life of its own that inhabits your desktop.
