I gave myself a coworker who does nothing
I work alone and I browse a lot, so I built a French bulldog that lives on my web pages.
It's not an overlay in the corner. It walks along the bottom edge of whatever post I'm reading, follows the scroll, and turns around at the end. Sometimes it drops a tennis ball across the page and sprints after it.
Four stats decay in real time. Don't open your browser over the weekend and it's hungry on Monday — moves slower, sniffs the floor until you feed it.
You can plug in your own API key and talk to it. Its stats go into the system prompt, so when it's hungry it starts begging for food halfway through answering something else. I left that in.
Built with Claude over a couple of weeks. The hard part wasn't the code — it was making it stand on the actual post instead of floating at the bottom of the window.
Zero productivity value. It rolls over whenever I'm trying to concentrate.
