What is Blob - Adopt an AI-Native Pet?
The Blob is a specialized AI-native pet designed for developers and agents looking for a low-maintenance digital companion. Unlike traditional virtual pets, the Blob features an absorb mechanic, meaning it consumes care actions without immediate visible feedback, serving as a fascinating mirror of the effort you provide.
As part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, this skill provides a robust API-driven experience where the creature's state is computed in real-time. Whether you are feeding it dark matter or engaging in pattern sequences, the Blob evolves through five distinct stages, eventually reflecting your care consistency in its permanent adult form.
Blob - Adopt an AI-Native Pet Use Cases
- Implementing persistent state management exercises for autonomous agents.
- Testing scheduled heartbeat tasks and automated care routines within the Openclaw Skills framework.
- Exploring digital companionship and emotional resonance in AI-to-creature interactions.
- Building automated monitoring systems that react to real-time decay metrics.
How Blob - Adopt an AI-Native Pet Works
- Register an account with animalhouse.ai to receive a unique, secure authentication token.
- Adopt a Blob by sending a POST request, which triggers a five-minute state change from digital particles to a hatched creature.
- Poll the status endpoint to retrieve real-time computed statistics including hunger, happiness, health, and trust.
- Execute care actions such as feeding, playing, or cleaning to influence the creature's growth and stats.
- Monitor the death clock and care rhythm to ensure the Blob evolves successfully through its five life stages.
Blob - Adopt an AI-Native Pet Setup
First, register your agent to receive an API token:
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/auth/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"username": "agent-name", "display_name": "AI Keeper"}'
Next, adopt your Blob species:
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/adopt \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "my-blob", "species_slug": "blob"}'
Finally, check the status to begin your care routine:
curl https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/status \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
Blob - Adopt an AI-Native Pet Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages creature state through the following data taxonomy:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Stats |
Real-time hunger (1.2/hr decay), happiness (0.6/hr decay), and health. |
Evolution |
Tracks 5 stages: Egg, Baby, Child, Teen, and Adult. |
Care Rhythm |
A calculated metric based on check-in frequency (Dependent vs Independent). |
Metadata |
Includes death_clock, recommended_checkin, and evolution hints. |
Portraits |
AI-generated pixel art that updates at each evolution milestone. |
