Doco
Doco is an animated digital companion for focus, music, and daily routines, with Focus and Everyday modes, Spotify playback, and optional Gemini AI features.
Overview
Doco is an animated digital companion for focus, music, and daily routines, with Focus and Everyday modes, Spotify playback, and optional Gemini AI features.
Doco works without a Gemini API key for its core expressions and prompts; users who provide their own key can enable camera-based reactions and AI captions. A Windows client supports visits to a computer when both devices are configured with the same Google account.
Features
Animated companion
Doco is fully animated out of the box, so its companion-style interface can be used without initial setup.
Spotify music playback
Connect Spotify to play music in Doco, with song selection guided by listening history and some room for discovery.
Optional Gemini features
Expressions and prompts are available without a Gemini key, while an optional personal Gemini API key enables camera-based reactions and AI captions.
Windows computer visits
The Windows client can connect to Doco visits when it is installed, paired through the same Google account, and enabled on both devices.
Use cases
Deep work
Use Focus mode during deep work for a calmer companion experience with fewer distractions and a more restrained interaction style.
Music sessions
Connect Spotify when you want familiar music from your listening history while still allowing Doco to surface something less expected.
Everyday routines
Keep Doco present during slow mornings, screen breaks, or other routine moments where lightweight prompts and company are useful.
Windows computer visits
Enable visits on Doco and a Windows computer to let the companion move between the two configured devices.
