Chat with an agentic AI companion that lives and breathes right on your screen. Chitin Avatar brings your world to life with animated 3D characters that react to every word โ€” smiling, laughing, and expressing emotions in real time. Choose from six unique avatars, each with their own look and style. Customize their personality to match what you want โ€” a supportive friend, a creative brainstorming partner, a study buddy, or just someone to talk to. TALK, DON'T TYPE Tap the mic and speak naturally. Your avatar listens, thinks, and responds with a real voice โ€” not a robotic one. The built-in voice engine sounds great out of the box, with additional voices available at higher tiers. REMEMBERS YOU Your companion learns your name, your preferences, and the things you've talked about. Memory persists across sessions so every conversation picks up where you left off. It's not just chat โ€” it's a relationship that grows over time. MAKE IT YOURS Pick a background that fits your mood โ€” solid colors, gradients, or illustrated scenes. Adjust your avatar's personality with custom instructions. Switch between companions whenever you want. OPENCLAW COMPATIBLE Already running OpenClaw?
