A Tiny AI Buddy for Cosmic Pondering & Daily Wonder: Would You Want One?

Hi Everyone, I’ve been working on a physical AI-powered object that isn’t about productivity or quick answers, but about **deep conversations, self-reflection, and expanding consciousness.** It’s designed to be a spiritual companion—not a guru, not a teacher, but a playful, thought-provoking presence that **guides you toward your own insights as you have a conversation with it.** Something that helps you to **explore consciousness, mindfulness, and the nature of reality**, something that doesn’t just respond, but asks the right questions to deepen your self-awareness? Its personality is inspired by **Ram Dass**, **Alan Watts, Zen koans,** and the likes, so always injected with a sense of wisdom, but also playfulness. It also doubles as an aesthetically pleasing art object, so just by glimpsing at it would have a grounding effect. I’d love to hear your thoughts: \- Would you want something like this in your home? \- What kind of conversations would you want to have with something like this? I also have a short [2-min survey ](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCePjKjfRF0B1WBCs3Hr9PLt1KCPdRKR2ScHC1rwFbDgOtnQ/viewform?usp=dialog)if you’d like to help shape the project from the ground up! **In short, Otherlings are AI-powered, Physical companions for Cosmic Pondering & Daily Wonder—blending art, tech, and spirituality.** Thank you, any insights, feedback are much appreciated. https://preview.redd.it/a8srwrna1kje1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=99413b81a5adc948131c4f02c7b15f3d8608e696
