I must say absolutely hilarious video. The "persona" of the dog is great. As someone who is generally pretty "keep your AI out of my art" this looks very fun to play. I can imagine this being cleverly integrated as a primary feature of a game (this must already be in the works). Ideally as a small model able to run locally alongside the game.

The moment where the dog is going on about "something foul in the air" as the player is attacked by a wolf ("F--- dude you could have warned me!") was great comedy.

I like the approach here. It’s cleverer than just “dump context to LLM”. I couldn’t quite figure out if it genuinely runs purely locally though.

If nothing else - this is how NPCs should work in games moving forward!

Love the concept of void mode. A companion that follows you across games, that's cool.
