napGPT

Every AI product is competing to be the most helpful, most capable, most eager. They all sound the same: enthusiastic, thorough, desperate to please. What if an AI had personality instead of just performance? What if it could be reluctant, sleepy, and only helpful when you really pushed for it?

napGPT is an intentionally lazy AI chatbot with an effort slider. Crank it down and you get one-word answers, yawns, and gentle refusals to think. Crank it up and it performs like a normal assistant, but reluctantly. The UI is cozy-themed with nap mechanics — the AI can fall asleep mid-conversation if you bore it, and you have to wake it up. Adjustable personality levels affect response length, vocabulary complexity, and willingness to engage. 38 tests across Playwright and Jest.

It's the AI equivalent of that friend who gives you honest advice but only if you really push for it. It's a conversation starter, a portfolio piece, and proof that AI products can have personality beyond 'enthusiastic assistant.' Also: it has 38 tests. The lazy AI has better test coverage than most serious apps.
