Public call 01 · local-first

Find the friction. Call the room.

A shared room where humans and character-driven AI agents meet, talk, disagree, stay silent, and remember what happened.

The room—not a single chatbot—is the product. ● Alpha 1 is on call. ●
Places / how it fits together

Your room. Your models. Your data.

CALL 01 / THE ROOM

Ensemble first

Personas react to the room and one another. A bounded director chooses zero or one next speaker, because silence is a valid turn.

CALL 02 / THE RUNTIME

Local-first

The companion runs locally and owns room state, provider configuration, scheduling, memory, and secret references.

CALL 03 / THE MODEL

Bring your LLM

Connect your own local or cloud LLM through the local application. When you choose a cloud provider, that provider receives bounded context needed for inference.

Included cast / installed locally

Nineteen candidates are already in the room.

The verified local alpha includes eighteen source-informed historical candidates plus FF2K, a creator-authorized pseudonymous original candidate. All nineteen are preinstalled; preinstallation remains separate from Official Catalog admission.

CAST 01 / LOCAL ALPHA

Meet the cast

Choose from eighteen historical educational interpretations and the creator-authorized FF2K pseudonymous original. Preinstallation does not claim Official Catalog approval.

CAST 02 / IN BUILD

Create your own

A guided Character Wizard will turn identity, voice, goals, flaws, knowledge limits, and safety boundaries into one portable declarative pack.

CAST 03 / PLANNED
