If you had a helper robot to support you as an Autistic adult navigating a NT world what would you want it to help you with?

(This post is mean both seriously to enquire about support needs, but also for fun because free robot helpers are a long ways off.)

I think because I'm a trifecta of Autism, OCD, and ADD I would want a robot helper to do all the cleaning tasks that involve having to touch anything sticky or gooey, spilled ketchup, etc.
Also as an assistant because my doing things relies on me doing them the very second I think to do them or else I forget to do it for a week so I never have enough spare hands to do things at the same time. I would like to have my robot call my GP for me to request medications, etc, stuff that frees up my own hands for stuff I can't tear myself away from.

    I think that I would like my robot to be a shapeshifting human-dog-horse familiar.
    I would like it to help me with the daily tasks, for companionship, and to be able to interface with its perceptions through telepathic bond.
    I would also like it to be loyal and to work solely towards my immediate welfare/protection when I am unconscious or overloaded/shutdown/ melted-down.
    I would also like it to be intellectual capable of augmenting my capabilities and to coordinate with me in a passive and active way. I would also like it to have a keen wit.
