What it does
Petto sits on your screen and watches everything you do. Switch to YouTube mid-work? It sighs. Push a commit at 3am? Happy dance. Open incognito? It leaves. No questions. Every few minutes, Petto screenshots your screen, sends it to AI, and reacts — with a face, a quip, and zero mercy. → Windows app → Free for 24 hours → 5 pets, 5 personalities → Built in 7 days by a 19-year-old
Petto is an AI desktop pet that watches your screen and reacts in real time. Productivity guilt, coding cheers, procrastination roasting — all in one adorable app.
Petto watches what you do, reacts in real time, and keeps you company — or calls you out. Petto sits in your taskbar, silently observing your every digital move. Nothing escapes those big cartoon eyes. Powered by Gemini, Petto reads context — work app or YouTube rabbit hole? Deadline or meme scroll? It knows. Petto pops up with witty quips, proud cheers, or dramatic disappointment. Always adorable. Always honest. Petto sighs loudly every time you switch from your work doc to Instagram. The guilt is free. The therapy isn't. "Episode 6? Really? It's 2am." Petto will watch you watch TV and make sure you feel every bit of it. Push a commit and Petto does a little happy dance.

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons
Dev tools · May 2026 · kilo.ai
Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
