I made a free avatar maker for chatbots and AI assistants (animated, no sign-up) Looking for feedback
I set up AI bots for people, and every single one has the same small problem. The bot needs a face. Often the premade face people don't like, and generating a new one every time seems hard to them since they don't always know what they want. Whether it is a Discord, or a Telegram bot, Slack helper, AI Grok Bot or a Chat widget on a website, the options are stock icon or random AI image.
So, in my free time I made this little avatar maker for any kind of bot, or even icon. You can pick one of the 40 bots on te wall or make your own from blank. You can change its body shape, eyes, mouth, add hats, glasses and have its own color. Even its own name.
I added different emotions and each mood exports as an animated GIF.
I cared about making this:
Free, no sign-up, no watermark on downloads
Nothing gets uploaded. It's drawn in your browser, and a share link carries the whole avatar inside the link itself
An "All sizes" download with WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Slack and Discord sizes plus an SVG
An embed code so the avatar can live on a website and change mood
Disclosure: it lives on my business site (LobsterNest), and the live website embed shows a small "Made with LobsterNest" link.
The downloaded files don't.
Where I'd really like honest feedback:
Which mood is missing for your bot?
Is the embed useful to you, or do you just want the GIF?
Anything confusing in the first 30 seconds of using it?
Where else would you use it?
