Every day is a new day. Without Loki.
It's been one week. Some moments feel normal. Then I see him everywhere. By the pool, waiting for the bubbles. In my office, lying on the rug he loved. I break down when I spot his favorite treats in the pantry.
Grief is strange. People tell you to move on. And you want to — you have to — but it's like walking with a rock tied to your ankles. Every moment, every milestone, you're carrying it with you.
I wanted to thank those of you who reached out after the LinkedIn post. Your words mattered. More than you know. Some of you shared your own stories — pets you lost, battles you fought, the holes they left behind.
We get it. That's why you're here.
Why I'm Still Building
The day after Loki passed, I opened my laptop and started building LOKI.
I needed to do something. Anything.
Loki taught me what it means to really pay attention to a pet. To notice the small shifts. To catch things early. To walk into a vet appointment prepared, not panicked.
I don't want other pet parents to have to figure that out alone.
That's what we're building.
Where We Are
LOKI is real. It works. Here's what exists today:
- Daily check-ins — 30 seconds to capture how your pet is doing
- AI chat — Ask questions about your pet's health. LOKI knows their history.
- Pattern detection — Learns what's normal for YOUR pet. Flags when things shift.
- Nutrition tracking — Log meals, track appetite, store recipes. LOKI knows what your pet eats and when.
- Visual health checks — Guided photos of gums, eyes, ears, teeth, coat. AI spots changes over time.
- Vet reports — One tap. Professional PDF. No more forgetting what to tell the vet.
- Vet visit capture — Record the appointment. LOKI transcribes and extracts the important stuff.
- Weekly summaries — Personalized insights on how your pet is doing.
- Insurance tracking — Scan receipts, track expenses, generate claim packets.
We're close to launching for Founding Members.
What I Need From You
You signed up because something resonated. That means you're the right person to ask.
If you had an AI partner helping you care for your pet — what would you want it to do?
- What's frustrating about managing your pet's health today?
- What do you wish you could track or understand better?
- What would help you feel more confident?

One More Thing
If you want to be an early tester — someone who uses LOKI before the public launch and helps us make it better — just say the word.
We're building this for people like us. Might as well build it with you.

This is Loki's legacy. We're going to build it right.
