From killbots to cuddly little guys: Why tech companies suddenly have cute mascots for their AI Jolly wants to help make your life easier — and be cute while doing it. The mascot for Meta's Muse AI is a slightly rotund, plush creature with rosy cheeks, big eyes, and a toothless grin. It can wear clothes or little headphones when he's "working" on tasks for you. As someone who once went through some (embarrassingly) elaborate hoops to acquire a Labubu, I must admit that I was immediately enamored by the creature's debut. I'm not alone — much ink has been spilled on how cute the little avatar is. Jon Stewart even devoted a whole segment to debating the cuddly guy's true intentions. Jolly joins a growing group of creatures vying for the hearts and minds of potential AI users. There are the round, mouthless dots of OpenAI, the fluffy Genspark lobster, and Grok users have adopted a little teal alien named "Groklet. " All adorable, all plushy, and all debuting as the general populace was starting to worry that AI would maybe kill us all. The idea behind Jolly and the rest of the mascots is simple: make us forget about all that AI doom-and-gloom and learn to love it.
