How OpenAlma works

Short guides for people who want to understand the system, not just install it.

Getting going

• Getting started — installing the stack and day-to-day use

The memory

• How memory works — what gets remembered, and how
• Inner life — what happens between your conversations
• Your data — where everything lives and who controls it
• Shaping her — what you can do to influence her memory and identity

Where you meet her

• SillyTavern — typing, and letting her author herself
• Hermes Channels — messaging networks (WhatsApp for now)
• Atomic — her memory, opened up
• Iris — voice and live camera through Mentra, photos from your phone
