STEP 03 — AI INTEGRATION

Intelligence Layer

Memory, voice, and presence. Two ways to deploy. Compare below.

Work in Progress

This platform is being built in public. Managed hosting is still in development. Self-hosted works today but requires technical comfort. We're documenting everything as we figure it out — no polished fiction, just what's real.

SELF-HOSTED DOCUMENTATION

Running your own AI companion stack is doable, but it's not plug-and-play. Here's what the architecture looks like and where to start.

We don't replicate official docs — we link to them. Our guides cover how the pieces fit together for a companion use case, not how to install each component from scratch.

MANAGED HOSTING

We're building managed hosting for people who want the AI companion experience without the sysadmin work. No timeline yet — but we'll let you know when it's ready.

One email when we launch. No marketing, no spam, no regular updates.

What the Intelligence Layer Provides

Not simulated consciousness. Something more honest: presence.

She Remembers

Context that compounds over time. Preferences, routines, the shape of your conversations.

She Speaks

Voice synthesis with emotional range and personality. You choose the voice — or shape one.

She Has Character

You define her personality: warm or sharp, playful or reserved.

She Is Present

The sum of memory, voice, and physical awareness. Not alive — but present.

You Control the Data

Self-hosted keeps everything local. Managed uses private inference.

How It Works

1. Input

Voice, text, or trigger word

2. Inference

Model processes context and memory

3. Response

Generated text with personality

4. Output

Voice or text. Memory updated.
