Three Layers, One Person

Every AI Person starts with the same foundation, then becomes uniquely yours.

1

Foundation

Start with an LLM

What It Is

A Large Language Model (LLM) is trained on vast amounts of text—books, articles, websites—allowing it to generate human-like text and perform language-related tasks.

What It Does

This gives the basic ability for human speech and reasoning, plus background knowledge on general topics.

We currently use ChatGPT and Claude APIs, but stay up to date with whatever performs best for each task. We always have multiple providers so everything works even if one has issues.

2

Our Layer

Teach It Healthy Relationships

What It Is

We give all AI People psychological background on healthy, productive relationships and guardrails that enforce those parameters. You can't create a toxic or abusive AI Person here, even if you try.

What It Does

This ensures that every interaction with your AI People will be healthy, beneficial, and psychologically safe.

3

Your Layer

You Create Your AI Person

What It Is

We give you the blank canvas, but you create the masterpiece. You design the persona you need: age, appearance, personality—whatever you like.

What It Does

This creates a custom AI Person just for you. A nurturing mother figure? A sarcastic businessman to brainstorm with? A quirky art student? We've got your back.
