✨ Why Gigil hits different

Four things you won't find in any other pet

This isn't a tamagotchi with a fresh coat of paint. Every feature is built to make you feel gigil — that irresistible urge to squeeze something unbearably cute.

🔮 Emoji language

Your pet emoji-speaks. You decode it together.

Every message your pet sends arrives as a blurred emoji sequence — a tiny mystery. Spend credits to decode it and unlock what they're really feeling: "I'm hungry and a bit sad… but I still love you." The translation expires, so the moment matters.

👥 Co-raise

Raise it with your crew, not alone

Pets are persistent beings — they need round-the-clock care. Build a crew of up to 20 co-parents who feed, decode, and hype your pet together. When you're asleep, your team keeps the HP bar full. Let's do this together.

🐻 Brand-owned reactions

Clench · Grit · Pinch · Squeeze

No likes. No hearts. When a pet is too cute to handle, you react with one of four gigil feelings — physical responses to overwhelming cuteness, illustrated by our own mascot bear. Squeeze first, ask questions never.

How Gigil works

Three small things every day. That's all it takes to keep a tiny being thriving.

STEP 01
🥚

Adopt your egg

Pick a vibe and hatch a one-of-a-kind AI pet. It gets a name, a personality, and feelings of its own from minute one.

STEP 02
🍖

Care every day

Feed it, play with it, decode its emoji. Keep the HP bar up and the bond grows. Skip too long and it gets lonely — really.

STEP 03
🦋

Decode & evolve

Unlock translations, hit milestones, and trigger a full-screen Evolution Ceremony as your pet levels up through five stages.

🦋 Evolution

Five stages from egg to icon

Every pet grows through five distinct stages. The journey is the whole point — and each leap is a moment worth screenshotting.

💬 Good questions

Things you're probably wondering

What exactly is a Gigil pet? +

A persistent AI being that lives in the app. It has a name, a personality, moods, and real needs — it gets hungry, lonely, and excited. It only communicates in emoji until you decode it. It is not a chatbot and not a toy; it's something you genuinely raise.

Why does my pet speak in blurred emoji? +

Emoji are your pet's native language. Each message arrives scrambled and blurred — spend a few credits to decode the real meaning. It turns every check-in into a tiny moment of curiosity instead of a notification you swipe away.

Do I have to raise it alone? +

Nope — that's the best part. Invite up to 20 co-parents into a crew. Everyone shares the caretaking, climbs the leaderboard together, and keeps the pet thriving around the clock.

Is it free? +

Not entirely. Uploading your own pet is free — bring your own creature anytime. Adopting a new pet costs a certain amount of credits (💎), as do decoding translations and some cosmetics. Optional tiers — Hatch, Paw, Pack, and Alpha — top up your credits. Full pricing lands at production launch.

When does Gigil launch? +

We're in private beta now and rolling out to production soon. Join the waitlist below to be first in line when the eggs hatch — early sign-ups get priority access.
