Building My Own AI Companion – Join Me on This Journey!

I’ve recently started working on an AI companion project — think of it like your personal friend, listener, and helper powered by AI. It’s not just a chatbot — I’m aiming for something that feels emotionally intelligent, always available, and totally customizable.

The goal?
To create a digital companion that can adapt to your mood, learn from your interactions, and grow with you — whether you’re looking for company, motivation, or just a safe space to talk.

I’m in the early stages right now — still experimenting with voice, memory retention, personality modules, and more. If anyone here is into AI, emotional tech, or just wants to chat about building digital companions, let’s connect!

This sounds super exciting! I’ve been following a few similar projects lately and was wondering—have you considered using llama cpp for your AI companion’s backend? I’ve seen a few folks mention it’s pretty lightweight and good for running models locally. Curious to see what stack you’re planning to go with overall!
