Your computer has apps.
It's time it had a companion.
Zeno is a local-first AI desktop companion with a living 3D character, persistent memory, and a knowledge graph — not another browser chatbot. Chat, voice, tasks, and automation from your system tray while your data stays on your machine.
Chapter 1
A desktop pet AI in your system tray with Quick Access chat, tasks, and personality. Click, scroll, and explore every animation — the same Rover model from the app.
Your desktop — Rover lives in the tray. Click him to interact.
The problem
Chaos.

Zeno.
Meetings, code, notes, and tasks — linked in one personal knowledge graph. One private AI assistant that sees your whole digital life.
Chapter 2 — Discover the brain
Not folders. Not a notes app. Episodic memory and a personal knowledge graph — every interaction becomes context the more you use Zeno.
Chapter 3 — Imagine your future
A voice-controlled AI assistant with memory — no commands, no syntax. Just talk from Quick Access or the tray.

Questions
An AI that lives on your computer — system tray, Quick Access, voice — with persistent memory on your machine. Zeno combines chat, tasks, and a knowledge graph second brain instead of a disposable browser tab.
