Help & troubleshooting
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers for installing, finding, and displaying your companion.
What should I do if my AI companion does not appear?
- Open Codex → Settings → Pets.
- Select Refresh, then choose your installed companion.
- Return to the conversation and resize the Codex window slightly. This refreshes the available display area and the companion should appear.
- If it is still missing, restart Codex and check Settings → Pets again.
How do I install a downloaded companion?
Open the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. After installation, open Codex, go to Settings → Pets, select Refresh, and choose your companion.
Why does my companion disappear after I restart Codex?
Confirm the companion remains selected under Settings → Pets. Select it again if needed, then return to the conversation. If the issue continues, restart Codex after confirming the selection.
What do the green and orange stars mean?
A green star means the companion has passed the required checks and installers are available. An orange star means the companion is coming soon.
Can I use the same companion on macOS and Windows?
Companion installers are currently available for macOS. Windows installers are coming soon.
