Could you build this?
Partial The front-end companion app is standard, but creating a system where an AI agent genuinely develops a persistent, non-resettable, evolving internal memory state without degradative drift is an unsolved research problem.
What it would actually take: Requires an architecture pairing an LLM with dynamic state machines, hierarchical associative memory graphs (episodic + semantic memory databases), and reinforcement updates to simulate personality drift without context-window forgetting. Developing this requires cognitive architecture and deep ML alignment/prompt-memory engineering.
Discussion
17 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Tlon's bot with persistent memory
Concerns raised: Data privacy with LLM providers and API traffic, Growing token costs as memory accumulates, User dependency on third-party services, Google Sign-in undermines messaging and feels exploitative, LLM calls in background represent high operational costs
Feature requests: Regular signup method without Google Auth, Better UI presentation that doesn't feel discordant with aesthetic
