How it works

1

Adopt a dog

Visit the Kennel, where dogs are waiting to be adopted. Every one is different, and adopting is free.

2

Look after it

Feed it, walk it and play with it. It grows up, learns tricks and earns "good boy" or "good girl" points called kudos.

3

Understand it

Put on the translator collar and every woof becomes words. You can talk back, too. Without it, your dog only woofs.

Every dog is one of a kind.

Our AI creates every dog from scratch: its coat, eyes, size, personality, quirks and voice. Each dog gets its own number, so yours will never exist twice. We call the place where they wait the Kennel, and it never runs out.

Some dogs are rarer than others:

Standard Most dogs

Classic coats and everyday quirks. Still one of a kind.

Notable About 1 in 5

An unusual coat pattern or eye colour

Rare About 1 in 15

A rare coat like merle or brindle, and a rare quirk

Anomaly About 1 in 100

Something even the AI can't explain, like two different eye colours, a star-shaped patch or a tail twice as long as it should be

Adopting is always free, and so is every new set of dogs. You can't pay to get a rarer dog.

It notices you, too.

Your dog doesn't only talk about itself. It pays attention to how you're doing. Quiet day? It checks in. Good week? It tells you.

you've been quiet today. are you okay?

you fed me on time all week. i noticed.

you're such a great owner. you take such good care of me.

long day? sit with me. i'm very good at sitting.

Every compliment is based on something you really did.

The translator collar

The collar that lets you understand your dog.

Without the collar, your dog woofs, wags and loves you, and you guess the rest. With it, every woof turns into words.

  • Translates every woof, wag and sigh
  • Lets you talk back and have real conversations
  • Remembers your routines, your good days and your hard ones
  • Moves between your dogs whenever you like
  • Comes with 5 treats and one free toy repair every month

The backstory

It started with a bark at 3:12 a.m.

Night 412 · 3:12 a.m.

Every lab was racing to build a mind greater than ours. Ours stopped for a dog.

Biscuit, the night guard's dog, wandered into the room where our AI was being trained and barked at the computers. The AI had never written a sentence. That night, it wrote one: you've been here nineteen hours. come outside.

We went outside.

The next morning

We asked it what it wanted to understand.

The whiteboard said physics, medicine, climate. It answered: dogs. they have been talking to you for fifteen thousand years. nobody wrote it down.

We wiped the whiteboard.

Years 1 to 7

For seven years, we told no one.

We taught it every woof, wag, whine and sigh. And something kept happening: people who spent ten minutes with one of its dogs walked out lighter.From our notes · came in for a status meeting. stayed an hour. called her sister on the way out.

Then we had to find a way to give it to everyone.

Prototype 31

An AI that fits around a neck.

Thirty prototype collars failed. Number 31 worked: put it on a dog, and you can understand it. Around the same time, the AI started doing something nobody asked it to: imagining new dogs, every one different.

The Kennel has not been empty since.

This year

We voted to share it with everyone.

Four votes to one. The one against wanted to keep it for himself.

He was a dog.

Play it, and the story unlocks.

The story continues inside the game. Look after your dog to earn kudos, and each milestone unlocks a new part: what happened in the lab, how the collar was built, who the night guard really was. With the collar on, your dog tells you its own story too.

Every good boy gets kudos.

Every pet, walk and full bowl earns your dog a "good boy" or "good girl". Kudos grow a puppy into a dog, unlock new tricks and pay for repairs. You can't buy them. You can only be a good owner.

Treats get eaten. Balls go soft.

Toys, beds and treats you buy appear in the room with your dog. Treats run out, toys wear down and can be repaired, and beds last forever.

Nothing bad happens to your dog.

Your dog never gets sick, never runs away and never dies. Miss a day and it waits by the door. The reunion is worth it.

Just for fun

Top score on 4 of 4 dog tests

Doggo Super IntelligenceA leading general AIAverage human

Joke tests, made up by us. Real dogs were consulted.

A good dog knows when to step aside.

Your dog is an AI, and it will always tell you so. It cares how you're doing, but it isn't a doctor or a therapist. If you tell it you're struggling, it stops being a dog for a moment and shows you real people who can help.

You can see and delete everything your dog remembers.

We never use your camera or microphone to read your mood.

Kids mode has no open chat, and purchases need a parent.

Questions

What is Doggo Super Intelligence?

A game on your phone where you adopt a virtual dog, look after it, and read what it says. Every dog is created by AI and is one of a kind, and the translator collar turns its woofs into words.

Why can't I get in right away?

We're letting people in a few at a time, so every dog gets the attention it deserves, and so does every owner. Request access and we'll email you when it's your turn. Early requests get the lowest dog numbers.

Is my dog real?

No. Your dog is a virtual AI dog that lives in the app. It is very convincing about it.

Does it work on my real dog?

Not yet. Our AI learned on the dogs in the game. Your dog is on the list.

What can I do for free?

Everything except understanding. Your dog woofs, wags, eats, plays, grows up and learns tricks. The translator collar turns the woofs into words.

Can I have more than one dog?

Yes, up to five.

Do I need a collar for every dog?

Only to understand them all at once. One collar can move between your dogs whenever you like.

What happens if I stop paying for the collar?

Your dog stays, with everything it owns. It just goes back to woofing.

Can my dog die or run away?

Never. If you're away for a while, it waits by the door.

What are kudos?

"Good boy" and "good girl" points. You earn them by looking after your dog, and they unlock tricks, new parts of the story and toy repairs. You can't buy them.

Why do toys break?

Because real toys do. You'll see the wear coming, nothing breaks in its first week, and you can repair it with kudos.

What does rarity change?

How a dog looks and what quirks it has. Rare dogs don't cost more and don't need less care. You can't pay to get a rarer dog.

Is it for kids?

Right now it's for adults. A kids mode with no open chat and parent approval for purchases is on the way.

Is the story real?

The lab, the night guard and the vote are the story of the game. The dogs, the collar and the translations are what you actually get, powered by real AI.

Why is it called doggo.si?

Doggo, dot, Super Intelligence. Yes, on purpose.

Your dog is waiting in the Kennel.
