Animate my dog

She’s alwaysfollowed you around.

Made from home videos like this one.

Look down.She’s on your screen.

That’s Cookie, Alysha’s rescued street dog from Goa, and my best friend. She used to follow me from room to room. I missed her so much that I made her again. Now she’s back, in the corner of my screen, keeping my to-do list and telling me when Claude needs an answer.

It’s really her.Down to the howl.

We make your dog from the photos and videos already on your phone. You see still pictures first, then your dog moving. Nothing is final until you say it’s your dog.

The howl is hers.

Every sound is from her own videos. Yours will sound like yours.

She does whatyour dog does.

On your Mac she reacts to your day. On Android, you tap her. Try her here: each line below sets her off.

  1. Scroll fast

    Zoomies. On your Mac, she runs a lap when you open the lid.

  2. Leave the mouse for ten seconds

    She curls up. Step away from your Mac and she naps until you’re back.

  3. Switch tabs, then come back

    She waits at the door. On your Mac, she greets you when you’re back from half an hour away.

  4. Check your battery

    Below 20%, she goes to her bowl. Plug in and she eats.

  5. Press H

    A cloth drops over her. On your Mac, one shortcut hides her before you share your screen.

  6. Tap her, bottom right

    Her real howl, cut from her videos. Turn your sound on first.

She hasher moments.

About twenty, each set off by something real in your day. Here are ten of Cookie’s. Your dog’s are made from your videos.

Small, medium,Husky.

Bailey is small. Cookie was in between. Kuma is a big boy. All three are mine, and each one is made from their own photos.

A phone, a MacBook and a big monitor on one desk. Bailey sits in the corner of the phone, Cookie in the corner of the MacBook, Kuma in the corner of the monitor.

You say when it’s right.

First you get still pictures. Tell us what’s off, like the ears or the white on the chest, and we fix it. Then you see your dog moving and approve that too.

She moves in.

Your dog arrives on your Mac, your Android phone or both, with about twenty moments and the sounds from your videos. You pay once.

Made first for Cookie

Cookie was Alysha’s indie, a street dog from Goa. Alysha’s dad rescued her. She had more friends than the two of us put together, and she would rather howl than bark.

For three years of working from home, she sat in front of my laptop as if it was hers, and followed me every time I got up. She was my best friend.

I missed her. So I put her back where she always sat, in front of my laptop. Every sound she makes here is her own, and Alysha checked each move until it was really her.

Now I make them for other people’s dogs, one at a time. Send me yours.

Questions

Is my dog made with AI?

Yes, partly. A person checks every frame against your photos, and nothing goes out until you’ve approved it.

What do you need from me?

Ten to twenty photos, and any videos of your dog sitting, running, sleeping or making a noise. Phone videos work best.

Do I need a Mac?

No. An Android phone is enough. If you have a Mac too, your dog lives on both.

What about iPhone and Windows?

Windows isn’t built yet. iPhones don’t let anything float over other apps, so there’s no iPhone dog. If you have a Mac, your dog lives there.

What happens to my videos?

We use them only to make your dog, and delete them when you ask. How we handle your videos.

Can I give one as a gift?

Yes. All we need is ten photos and a few short clips where the dog moves or makes a sound. If they’re already on your phone, nobody has to know.

Will mine keep my to-do list like Cookie?

Not for now. Yours comes with your dog’s moments and sounds. The to-do list and the Claude alerts only run on my own Mac.

My dog isn’t with us anymore. Can you still make one?

Yes. That’s why I made Cookie. Send whatever photos and videos you have, and we’ll bring yours back too.
