The phrase references the availability of a virtual assistant application featuring the Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku, offered without cost. These applications, often referred to as “desktop mates,” typically provide interactive functionalities, visual representation of the character, and sometimes, auditory responses. A common example involves a small, animated Hatsune Miku character displayed on the computer desktop, offering features like calendar reminders, system information, or simply providing a visual companion.
The appeal lies in the combination of utility and character affinity. Users benefit from basic functionalities while enjoying the presence of a beloved virtual idol. The availability of such software as a cost-free item widens its accessibility, contributing to the character’s popularity and fostering community engagement. Historically, these types of applications were often amateur projects distributed through online communities, reflecting fan-driven creativity and a desire to personalize the computing experience.
