Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of AI Coach, a little desktop pet you hatch from an egg and raise on your Mac. It starts small. As it grows, everyday tools unlock, and the way you care for it shapes its appearance and personality. It also connects with Claude. You can ask how your pet is doing, ask Claude to feed it—with your confirmation—and let its movements show when Claude is working or finished. Alongside the pet, there are practical tools like voice dictation, notes, and an RSS reader. Your first egg is free. Additional eggs are optional one-time purchases, with no subscription. I'd love to hear what you would want to teach your desktop pet first! 🐣

A new trick for your desktop pet: show it a picture. 🐣

AI Coach now supports macOS 27. Drop an image onto your pet, choose the option to ask what it sees, and it answers in its own personality. Apple's on-device model reads the image directly, and the image stays on your Mac.

This feature always uses the built-in model—even if you've selected an external AI provider for other features.

This update also improves longer conversations by trimming older exchanges before they exceed the model's context limit. Dictation now preserves the audio across buffer boundaries, and repeat sessions start faster because the speech analysis model stays loaded.

If you're new to AI Coach, it starts with an egg. Raise your pet and it gradually learns useful tools, including notes, dictation, bookmarks, and an RSS reader. The app shows you which tools are available as it grows.

Your first egg is free. Extra eggs are optional one-time purchases, with no subscription. AI Coach runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 26 or later; image descriptions require macOS 27 and an available Apple Intelligence model. We've tested this update on macOS 27.0 (26A428).

What would you show your pet first?
