Thank you for your comment! Yes, I made both VS Code and Chrome versions. I mainly develop the VS Code version and only implement the differences for Chrome to reduce the workload.

I’m looking forward to our project too! It’s getting better. ☺️

Yes I'm thinking what to add next, where do we decide that "Ok this is enough for v2"?

Yes, we’ve already made many updates, so maybe we should complete it and release it as v2! 🚀

This is such a fun idea AI for morale instead of just productivity. 🙌

We've got plenty of tools to help us ship faster. Not enough tools to help us feel better while shipping.

Love that you built for both Chrome and VS Code.

Quick question: can users customize the avatars or add their own?

Really cool project thanks for sharing something different. 🚀

Thank you for your comment! 😄 Yes, this app is customizable. You can use your own VRM for avatars and VRMA for animations. Also, you can create animations with the built-in Animation Editor. More updates are scheduled.

Top stuff. Have met an Indian dev at the Google Chrome Hackathon who created something similar last year. Also open-source. Could find the link if you're interested.

Really fun idea - I’m working on a local-first AI companion and also thinking about moving into 3D avatars. Love this direction, especially the VS Code + browser integration.
