My office assistant in word usually give me tips of the day related to office productivity, like "you can save a file using control yada yada".

Ocasionally, though, the dog pipes up with some humourous advice like "it is unsafe to run with scissors" or "if you try your best, you will often get the best"

this got me thinking, why not combine the office-assistant concept with the gigapet concept. Sort of like Bonzai buddy but not spyware and cooler. I would love to digitally feed and care for my little office dog, AND get his tech advice.

That could be cool- program it to "run away" when you forget to feed it, or have it "chew" on your email at random intervals...
