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.
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?
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.
