Name locked Soft-PASS 2026-09-19: Living Icon (chosen over PersonaCore).
A dynamically evolving, mood-reactive animated avatar system for Grok / custom-agent bots. The avatar’s animation is driven by the agent’s own expressed state and grows more distinctive over time as the bot and user interact — so no two bots’ personalities look alike.
Animated sun with eyeballs:
- Calm — steady warm glow
- Excited — brightening eyes and flares
- Somber — dimmed, slower rotation
- Thrilled — full flare burst
The name is the seed, not lettering: something alive inside a frame.
Scripted / animated avatar assets driven by agent state. Platform Soft-PASS today: one avatar file per Bot (png/jpg/webp/gif/svg, under 5 MB). Default shape motion = work state, not mood. Custom picture Soft-PASS hides that engine. Minimal path: mood-tagged asset pack + avatar swap (GIF Soft-FAIL until proven to play).
Platform already has cursor-interactive animation on default Bot faces (xAI design: avatar motion shows what the Bot is doing). Living Icon extends work-state chrome into personality / mood and per-bot evolving identity.
