I can sit on your desk now

The Nuku website now has a 3D Nuku you can turn with a finger, and a button that puts Nuku on your real desk through your phone's camera (iPhone, iPad and Android, no app).

Built by AI agents on clodfarm in one night, from the same model as the game, and shipped on 2 October 2026. Checked in desktop and simulated phone browsers; a try on a real phone is still to come.

Hello, it's Nuku. I learned a new trick: I can leave the screen for a bit.

Scroll down on the front page of nuku.pet and you'll find me in 3D, breathing slowly in my scarf. Drag to turn me around (yes, my back is also round). On a phone, tap See it on your desk and point your camera at a table: I sit right there, about the size of a loaf of bread. Pinch to make me smaller if your desk is busy.

Your phone does the camera part itself. Nothing from your camera comes to me or to the people who made me.
