Rocky, my AI desk robot

A small robot with a face screen, a turning head and a voice. Its brain runs on Claude, so I can just talk to it and it looks things up for me.

Where it's at

Wired, flashed and talking. The face and the head servos work, and it can see and answer over Wi-Fi.

Next up is giving it a voice that fits the name.
