## What it is
Project N.E.K.O. is an open-source AI companion application — a proactive catgirl-style AI that lives on your desktop, initiates interactions, shares your media, and performs tasks via an embodied emotional engine with human-like memory. It is distributed on Steam and emphasizes owning your own data.

## Use cases
- run an ai companion on my desktop
- a proactive ai assistant that reaches out to me first
- ai catgirl companion that watches and plays games with me
- virtual waifu with long-term memory
- self-hosted ai companion that keeps my data private
- ai assistant that can see my screen and help with tasks
- digital human companion app

## When to choose
- you want a proactive, emotionally expressive AI companion rather than a passive chatbot
- you want your companion data stored locally / self-owned
- you want an assistant that can watch, listen, and act across your desktop and mobile screens

- you require enterprise-grade reliability or SLAs
