These animated companions, which can be summoned with a "/pet" command, provide visual feedback on Codex's progress and needs without interrupting the user's workflow. Users can choose from eight pre-set pets or generate custom ones using AI, with some early examples including a goblin and Microsoft's Clippy. AI
