What is Macaron?
Macaron is a personal AI agent positioned as the world's first of its kind. Unlike conventional AI tools focused on productivity and work tasks, Macaron's core philosophy is to help users live better. It aims to be a warm, empathetic companion that understands deeper personal needs rather than just executing commands. The agent builds real-life, practical tools based on simple user requests, eliminating the need for complex prompts. A key differentiator is its Deep Memory system, which allows it to remember user preferences, experiences, and context over time, fostering a relationship that evolves like a real friendship. It is designed for a wide audience, including general AI enthusiasts, young parents, hobbyists, language learners, and anyone seeking meaningful companionship.
