iClawCat
AI companion with a body — think, feel, act
Overview
iClawCat is an AI desktop companion that goes beyond chatting. It sees your emotions, guards your privacy, assists your workflow, and responds with physical movements and warmth. Combining a multi-modal AI core with motors, sensors, and a heating module, it's your AI co-pilot, hardware security key, and emotional companion — all in one cute cat-shaped form.

Core Features
Smart Assistant
Voice commands execute actions — "open downloads", "find meeting notes". CPU throttling? It "pants" and warms up.
Security Guardian
Auto-lock when you leave, hide sensitive windows when someone peeks. Physical camera shutter for total privacy.
Creative Co-Pilot
Snap a hand-drawn sketch — AI renders it in cyberpunk, watercolor, or anime style. Brainstorm ideas, get mind maps.
Emotional Companion
Senses fatigue from sighs, typing force, and facial expressions. Responds by dimming the screen, playing soft music, and purring.
Meeting Assistant
Gesture-based slide navigation, mute reminders, time warnings. Never interrupt or forget to unmute again.
