Business judgment on AI products

tiny-engineer

A small desktop robot that physically visualizes the operation of an AI coding assistant: it acts out when the assistant reads files, thinks, writes code, or finishes work. Users observe the robot to intuitively understand the assistant's progress. The deliverable is physical action feedback, not code or task results.
