Field notes
The project separates sensing, personality, and physical expression into three layers, allowing one persona to move between an avatar, a 3D-printed humanoid, and a quadruped. Its example persona specifies traits, speaking limits, owners, stranger behavior, initiative, greeting cooldowns, quiet hours, and safety rules. The site says faces are reduced to a short local representation, while images are not stored or transmitted.
