Confirmo is a delightful desktop companion that brings AI-powered coding assistance to your workspace in the form of an adorable animated pet. Created by yetone (the developer behind the popular avante.nvim project), Confirmo combines the power of Claude AI with a charming desktop pet interface, making your coding sessions more engaging and productive.

Unlike traditional coding assistants that live solely within your IDE, Confirmo sits on your desktop as a persistent companion, ready to help whenever you need it. The cute cat animation adds personality to your workspace while providing serious AI capabilities powered by Claude's advanced language models.

Key Features

1. Desktop Pet Interface

Confirmo features an animated cat character that lives on your desktop, complete with smooth animations including floating movements, ear twitches, blinking eyes, and whisker movements. The pet responds to interactions and provides visual feedback, making your coding experience more enjoyable.

2. Claude AI Integration

Powered by Claude's advanced AI models, Confirmo provides intelligent coding assistance, code explanations, debugging help, and programming guidance. It leverages Claude's deep understanding of code to offer contextual suggestions and solutions.

3. Cross-Platform Support

Available for macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (AppImage and .deb packages), Confirmo works seamlessly across all major desktop platforms.

4. Always Accessible

Unlike IDE-bound assistants, Confirmo is always visible on your desktop, making it easy to get quick help without switching contexts or opening specific applications.

5. Lightweight and Non-Intrusive

The desktop pet design is intentionally lightweight and stays out of your way while remaining accessible when needed. You can interact with it naturally without disrupting your workflow.
