The problem with invisible AI I code with Claude every day. It's genuinely helpful. But the interaction is. clinical. Text in, text out. No personality. No sense that something is there with me. I kept thinking: what if your AI assistant had a presence? Not a chatbot avatar. Something that reacts to what you're doing. Gets happy when tests pass. Gets tired when you've been coding for 6 hours straight. Has idle thoughts while you're reading docs. So I built it. Meet Oh My Kira Oh My Kira is a terminal renderer that displays an animated companion next to your code.
