What it does

A digital sanctuary of AI animal companions. Talk out loud to a wise owl, a friendly dog, or a therapeutic turtle who actually listens and remembers. Based on zootherapy research showing people open up more freely to animals than to humans, tails.io creates a judgment-free space to talk, vent, or just feel heard. No clinical intake. No forms. No diagnosis. Just your companion, whenever you need them.

A digital sanctuary of AI animal companions. Talk out loud to a wise owl, a friendly dog, or a therapeutic turtle who actually listens and remembers.

tails.io pairs you with an AI companion — a dog, owl, turtle, or cat — who listens without judgment, remembers what matters, and is always there. Different archetypes for exactly what you need at the moment. Your loyal, patient companion. Sunny is here when you need to vent, cry, or just feel less alone. He never rushes you, never judges you, and always shows up. Thoughtful and unhurried. Galileo helps untangle confusion and find your own answers within yourself. He asks the questions that matter, not the ones that are easy. Slow and steady. When the world moves too fast, Bodhi helps you breathe and find solid ground. She doesn't try to fix things — she helps you remember you're okay. Witty…from tailsio.vercel.app

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
