01 / FEELS ALIVE
Why it feels different
More than an answer on a screen.
Your pet listens, reacts, remembers, and develops a character you can feel in every conversation.
Face
A tiny expressive face responds with curiosity, delight, sleepiness, and surprise.
Memory
Your companion remembers the things that matter and brings them into future moments.
Yours
Shape the personality, habits, boundaries, and little details that make a pet your own.
Open by design
Your own voice agent, without the tech headache.
AI Pets gives people an easy way to talk with a personal voice agent in a focused little device. Its firmware is fully open source under the Apache-2.0 license, so makers can inspect it, modify it, and create something entirely their own on affordable, openly documented ESP32 hardware.
Create your own AI Pet with Codex.
A character from your imagination. A face that talks, reacts and does its own little thing. Our open-source AI Pets Sprite Skill guides you from a first idea to an animated companion.
The face Describe a character. Find their face.
Tell Codex about your pet’s shape, colors and quirks, or start from a reference image. Refine the concept together and approve the look before the animation begins.
A voice Give them something to say.
The skill creates speaking frames, blinks and little glances, plus listening, thinking and touch reactions. Each pose keeps the face you chose, so your character stays recognizably yours.
A little joy Let their personality show.
Add joyful, goofy, dreamy and sweet moments, then a signature trick of their own. Angel lights up with a burst of joy; your pet might wiggle its ears, juggle mushrooms or get distracted by its own tail.
A signature trick Preview it. Take it with you.
Review the movement in a browser, refine what needs work and export a compact .aipetframes animation pack. You get the editable artwork and preview too, ready for a compatible AI Pets device.
Start on your screen. Give it a home when you’re ready. Create and preview with Codex’s built-in image generation—no separate image API key or hardware needed. A compatible ESP32-S3 device and AI Pets firmware bring the face into a little voice companion; connected features need AI Pets account access.
