An open-source desktop AI companion combining voice and screen interaction, customizable avatars, and a layered long-term memory system.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.

For: Desktop users seeking a customizable AI companion
Worth noticing: Its five memory layers include work, recent, factual, reflective, and persona memories, with recall combining vector search and BM25.

Field notes

The described memory system separates work, recent, factual, reflective, and persona information, then combines temporal indexing, compressed summaries, vector retrieval, and BM25 to find relevant context. The page also says users can inspect and correct stored memories. Its roadmap lists mobile support and a plugin market as ongoing work; those entries are presented as plans or development status, not independently verified releases.
