A face, not an icon
People ignore chat bubbles — banner blindness is real. They don’t ignore a character that waves, points at the thing they’re stuck on, and visibly reacts to the conversation. That difference is the whole product.

See it working
It reacts to intent in real time
The character reads the same live intent signals as the behavior engine and responds visibly — it peeks in at the right moment, points at the thing the visitor is stuck on, and celebrates when the cart converts. Presence, not decoration.
It remembers the conversation
The context engine carries what the visitor said, which pages they saw, and what is in their cart across the session — so the mascot never asks the same question twice and never greets a returning visitor like a stranger.
Most buyers bundle the Trail Strap with this.
Watch it work a product page
The character peeks in over a live product card, offers the bundle, and updates the price when the shopper accepts — selling with charm instead of interrupting with a modal.
What you get
Real-time animation
Built on a state-machine animation runtime — not a looping GIF. The character idles, waves, points, celebrates, and shows concern in response to what’s actually happening.
Marketplace characters
Pick a ready-made, fully animated character from the gallery — available on every plan, including Free.
Mascot Studio
Tune appearance, position, personality, and tone in the dashboard studio, with live preview before anything ships to your site.
Custom characters$1,499 one-time

Performance-safe
Animation runs off the main thread where the platform allows, the script loads async, and your page always renders first.
Accessible by default
The widget respects reduced-motion preferences and keeps chat fully keyboard-accessible — expressiveness never costs usability.

Common questions
Why does a character convert better than a chat bubble?
Attention and trust. A static bubble is furniture; an expressive character is a social presence. Visitors notice it, attribute intent to it, and respond to it — the same reason brands have used mascots for a century, now interactive.
Will it feel childish for my brand?
Character ≠ cartoon. Tone, energy, and design range from playful to restrained — and a custom character is designed around your brand’s exact register.
Does the animation hurt page speed?
The widget boots async off the critical path and the animation runtime is built for real-time performance. Your content renders first, always.
What does a custom mascot include?
A bespoke character designed for your brand, fully rigged and animated for the widget’s full expression set — one-time fee, then it’s yours on any paid plan.
