Have you ever noticed how many characters in books, movies, and TV shows have a loyal companion by their side? Harry Potter has his trusty owl Hedwig. Daenerys Targaryen rides with her dragons in Game of Thrones. Even superheroes like Tony Stark (Iron Man) have J.A.R.V.I.S., an AI assistant who helps him solve problems and save the world. These sidekicks, pets, or familiars provide friendship, guidance, or even protection—and they make adventures so much more exciting!

Now imagine having your own companion, but with a futuristic twist—an artificial intelligence (AI) buddy designed just for you. This AI could be anything you want: a hovering robot, a pet-like creature, or even a tiny gadget that fits in your pocket. It could help you with school, give you life advice, or just be a friend to talk to when you need one. The possibilities are endless!

Your Task:

Design your dream AI companion and explain how it would fit into your life. Answer these questions to bring your creation to life:

Appearance: What does your AI companion look like? Is it a pet (like a dog or a cat), a creature (like a phoenix or a dragon), or an object (like a floating orb or a wearable gadget)?

Features: What can your companion do? Does it help with homework? Protect you from danger? Keep you entertained? List its coolest features.

Personality and Role: Is your AI companion more like a best friend, a wise mentor, or a helpful butler? How would it interact with you daily?

Mobility: How does it move? Does it hover, walk, crawl, or teleport?

Impact: How would this AI companion make your life better? How could it help the world?

Bonus Challenge: Draw or sketch your AI companion, or write a short description of a day in your life with your new sidekick.
