Doco
Doco is an animated digital companion for focus, music, and everyday routines. It offers Everyday and Focus modes, Spotify playback, and optional Gemini-powered camera reactions and AI captions.
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.

Optional Gemini features

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
