Chitin
Chitin connects AI agents to animated avatars, voice companions, and presentation surfaces on iOS and macOS.
What Chitin is
Chitin connects AI agents to animated avatars, voice companions, and presentation surfaces on iOS and macOS. Its Avatar, Phone, Desktop, and CarPlay surfaces share a companion’s voice, memory, and personality. The iOS avatar surface offers animated 3D companions with facial expressions, lip sync, and full-body animation, while the Phone surface supports voice-first conversations. Chitin Desktop for macOS includes a floating avatar window, compact orb mode, and a global hotkey. Users can connect an OpenClaw instance, with local access on Free and remote access on Plus. Developers can connect agents through the Agent Presentation Protocol; the maker says frameworks that send JSON and speak APP can drive Chitin surfaces. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 20 replies per day, four built-in voices, an animated avatar, and no-account access. Chitin Plus costs $9.99 a month or $99 a year, with unlimited messages, 13+ voices, persistent cross-surface memory, remote OpenClaw access, and priority support. The privacy policy says conversations are not kept beyond the active session and voice audio is not recorded or stored.
