I'm not good..., why would anyone care??? It's not worth it. That's what I thought before ever posting anything about my work. I didn't think it would make a difference to anyone (even myself) but I'm really grateful now to be a part of the connection that these legends have. Thank you joey korenman for inspiring me to become a motion designer. and Guido Rosso you are one of the coolest CEO ever. I didn't expect to post this on my B-Day this year because I never thought I'd make it this far. But now I think it's just the beginning. Thank you everyone for being a support🩷

How did the engagement start for this project? I remember. seeing the founder share on socials about the app. Did you reach out or was it through Contra?

I built an assistant character in Rive that's wired into the product's actual state — not a loop on top of the UI, but a face that responds in real time. It blinks and breathes while idle, leans in the moment you start typing, jumps when the answer lands and winces when something goes wrong.

Every expression is driven by data binding, so the character mirrors what the assistant is actually doing — part of the product, not a sticker on top of it.

Under the hood One Rive state machine: Idle · Typing · Correct · Wrong · Jump. Every mood is driven by data binding (typing / correct / wrong / jump), so the face reads the assistant's actual state — no canned loops.

That's the whole engine behind the demo above.

I have been learning Rive @rive_app for a few days to participate in the Rive Interactive Character Challenge. I have started to build the world that my character will live in.
