Companions

Companions gives NextOS a friendly presence above your workspace. Choose Button the coral robot, Sprig the sprouting plant, Glim the golden star, Mote the blue cloud, or Purl the teal knitted friend. Each has a distinct look and personality, drawn to the same expressive 24-state contract.

Each companion can greet, listen, think, work, celebrate, rest, and play short desktop antics. Button works at a tiny NextOS workstation; the others bring their own character to the same gestures. Drag a companion anywhere or click to open Assistant; the gallery lets you preview every state and pause motion or mischief.

Users and the Companions agent can make custom characters one action at a time. SVG artwork lives in the filesystem, separate from small local preferences. First-party companions are ready before filesystem hydration and protected from accidental overwrite or removal. Import and export portable packages, with idle as the fallback for actions you have not created yet.
