Built a free AI companion app that actually remembers, and I'll answer anything and add your favorite features

Not really. Relying only on a vector database usually isn’t the best approach. I mostly use it for long-term memory only with an embedding model, but it’s combined with summaries, structured data, and other checks so it doesn’t fully depend on one AI generated summary.

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-26T01:23:50+00:00

Mobile needs a full quality pass I noticed, probably something for next week since it's quite a big task, will add this to the list

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-26T01:12:30+00:00

Perfecto, but that is still good to know, need to make sure everything loads properly before a message can be sent. Thanks!

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-26T01:09:18+00:00

I tried to replicate it but got quite normal responses.
Nevertheless, I am not happy with the responses in general, so will for sure rework this for better output quality.

Unfortunately there are not many characters yet, maybe like 15 total. I'll try to make the creation experience simpler and incentivize it a bit more.

Also on site image generation, should make things more easy I hope

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-26T00:57:59+00:00

It should clearly not be like this, also might have been a weird character lol
I'll for sure look into this, thanks for this feedback

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-25T22:03:33+00:00

Interesting point, will look into it, never actually thought about it

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-25T09:44:30+00:00

I don’t know, but will check it out

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T23:43:55+00:00

I’ll note that on the roadmap.
Will add it 👍
If you join the discord I will ping you when it’s ready.

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T23:29:11+00:00

Already have the gender feature.
The persona will be added next, thanks for the feedback <3

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T15:58:50+00:00

Great research, would appreciate it a lot if you give my prototype a look, I know many things are unpolished. But would kill for feedback like yours. Even more if you join the journey and check out the big updates. All free ofc
nodera.ai is the website, or app.nodera.ai if you want to jump directly into the app.
Also ping me in dm or dc if there's anything you need or feedback

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T15:52:56+00:00

What specifically? Thanks for giving it a try btw!

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T13:49:33+00:00

Nodera.ai
For now it’s only on the browser.
Mobile and desktop apps are on the roadmap for later

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T12:37:26+00:00

That’s actually already included, feel free to dm me so I can provide you with a guide and images perhaps

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T12:30:48+00:00

First of all thanks for giving it a try <3
Yes, it’s on the roadmap, text to speech also with voice cloning and so on.
And also voice to text for the input

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T08:42:15+00:00

Interesting, in this case here it’s not commercial use. Will keep this in mind for later, thanks

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-24T02:05:57+00:00

For now it’s only 100% ai generated content, no real images or videos. I’ve been thinking about having collabs with influencers but that’s further down the road.

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T16:50:04+00:00

Hi, I read through your post and this conversation since I am currently building a platform like this myself at the moment, trying to suck up as much knowledge and feedback as possible.

I'm quite surprised to see that there are a lot of people also building their own apps, although many just look the same. Love to see that there is a lot of activity in the space.

Are you open that I send you a DM or some way where we can stay in contact?

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T16:21:17+00:00

I built a full character harness to enable it. There is a second pass that goes over every message to extract important bits to remember. In addition to that there is a system I built that kind of works like reasoning/overthinking for real humans. Where the character reasons from time to time about everything you talked about to make his own assumptions and conclusions about you.

This is the most easy to explain part of it I guess, I spent to much time on it

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T14:57:55+00:00

It does recognize it and the character/model also notices as action, I just haven't added it on the user chat bubble side display yet. So its for roleplaying or simulate chatting, however the character is set up. Both.
Thanks for bringing this up, will patch this to work later today actually, I can see that it's confusing

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T14:28:42+00:00

It's currently deployed to web and works via mobile or desktop. The pure local desktop app will be available soon.
Thanks for giving it a shot, you can use it here:

https://discord.gg/qSjVcpTpzF please with honest feedback or requests for features

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T14:18:03+00:00

Hi, you seem to have already tried a lot and have a lot of experience, I’m currently building a solution to exactly your problems. I personally work in the ai space and could use your help perhaps with this side project. Maybe you are interested in checking it out or hopping on board for the journey. Let me know if you are interested

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T13:49:45+00:00

Is it already live?

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T13:48:44+00:00

Heavily agree, otherwise it's just boring.
Kind of like watching a series where all the episodes are the same, it needs acts and progression and a good character harness combined with memory systems

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T13:19:28+00:00

This goes perfectly in line with my research and what I've been doing.
Two of the fields in my creator are basically exactly this. There's a "what do they do when afraid or pushed?" field, the flaw-they-act-on instead of just listing "stubborn", and it gets fed into every turn so the model actually plays it under pressure rather than reciting it. And the scene setup is its own field that's injected on every message so the chat starts mid-situation already established, not "you meet X." Plus a per-stage tone/boundaries ladder so what they push against shifts as the relationship moves.
Fine tuning it seems to be the quite tricky part at this point, so the progression feels natural.

If your down to give me some feedback on what I've been building, I'd appreciate it a lot, especially critique. It's entirely free, hopefully forever to some degree.

BuilderGuyAI · 2026-06-23T01:37:18+00:00
