Alethyra
Memory was the beginning. Continuity is the product. Cognition is the difference.
The Idea
Cognition, not just conversation
Most AI companions have context. Alethyra is built around something narrower and harder: a companion that can recall what it knows, verify its own history, and tell you when something doesn't check out — instead of quietly guessing and hoping it sounds right.
The Dashboard
Inside Alethyra
Real screens from the current build — cognition core, memory substrate, verification engine, and relationship mapping.
Why It Feels Different
Built around checking its own work
Recall
Semantic memory search across events, episodes, entities, and prospects — not a keyword match, a real retrieval stack.
Verify
A provenance chain and confidence score behind every answer, with contradiction detection instead of quiet guessing.
Trace
A full retrieval trace, down to the millisecond — inspectable, not a black box.
Relationships
Trust and closeness tracked per connection, sorted into real territories — inner circle to observational.
Self-Hosted By Design
Your data. Your keys. Your infrastructure.
Same self-hosting model as everything else Sirenwave Studios builds: no central server holding your data, no vendor-hosted cognition. See exactly what that means.
