Timeline (last 90 days)
Coopanion is an open-source AI desktop pet project that integrates large models into the taskbar, with swappable appearances, selectable personalities, persistent memory, and the ability for users to drag and fling it out.
After being introduced by an uploader on Bilibili, Coopanion gained more than 350 GitHub stars in less than four weeks and spawned around twenty derivative projects.
Coopanion stores memory information such as the name the user tells it and the content they have chatted about in a structured format in a local file, and every modification generates a timestamped version record.
On first launch, Coopanion asks the user to choose one of five personalities: curious, clingy, capable, lively, and quiet.
Coopanion has the ability to operate the computer, including clicking buttons, typing, and switching windows, but it asks for the user's consent before performing an action for the first time and stops immediately when the user moves the mouse.
Coopanion leaves login and payment entirely to the user, and the AI does not do it on their behalf.
Coopanion supports 13 model providers including DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and Claude, and users can switch models by providing an API Key.
After installing an extension, Coopanion can play the game Plants vs. Zombies on its own.
The Coopanion software itself is free and open source, while the models use pay-per-usage APIs, so users must provide their own API Key.
