Hey hunters! I’m the maker of MascotAI. I kept seeing apps launch with great products and forgettable faces. Illustration budgets are huge; generic AI avatars feel lifeless in product UI. So we built studios the way we’d ship them ourselves: animated SVG packs with gestures, themes, and parts you can actually toggle not one-off PNG images.
Would love honest feedback on the generate flow and what gestures you wish every app mascot had. Happy hunting.

@guccibase Would love a setup where I pay only once I see the results. Animated a mascot before for https://donethat.ai with a freelancer and was curious to see how it compares but I'd assume a lot of people drop off at the payment screen for an app they don't trust

The gestures worth shipping aren't the happy ones. Empty state, loading, and error are the three moments an app actually needs a face, because that's when it's failing the user and the mascot is the only thing buying patience. Everyone builds wave and thumbs up first, then ships a plain grey spinner anyway. And agreed with Christoph on the paywall. A mascot is a taste purchase and you can't sell taste off someone else's sample character.

Congratulations on the launch! Does a pack keep one character consistent across all gestures, or is each gesture generated separately? Also, what does the license allow for commercial use inside a paid product?
