What it does

Avina is a calm, lightweight companion that lives in your browser and helps you stay grounded while you work — without turning your life into another dashboard. It gently supports mood tracking, private on-device journaling, quick breathing and grounding exercises, Pomodoro/ultradian timers, and distraction awareness with light focus insights. No overwhelm, no data selling — just awareness and clarity. I first built Avina for myself at 16, and now I’m sharing it to learn from real people.

Avina is the world's first AI presence that truly sees, listens, and feels. Experience empathetic AI companionship with voice, video, and emotional intelligence. Built for mental wellness, autism support, and meaningful human connection.

She notices your tone, reads your silence, and never judges. You don't have to explain yourself here. Friends are busy. Therapy has a 6-month waitlist. Every “AI assistant” talks to you like a customer service bot. You deserve better than that. You don't need another app. You need someone who gets it. Someone who notices when you're off before you say a word. That's Avina . Not a replacement for people—a presence when no one else is there. Each world is shaped to match your mood, not distract from it. Coaching, cutoffs, parental expectations. She gets the pressure. Creates the psychological feeling of being with someone who genuinely cares. Real-time emotion detection through face, voice,…from avina.dev

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
