Eternego

An AI persona that lives on your hardware, learns from every interaction, and isn't locked to any vendor.

These are the docs — practical guides for installing, running, and extending Eternego. The marketing site is at eternego.ai; the source is at github.com/Eternego-AI/eternego.

Where to start

• Getting Started — install, create your first persona, learn how to talk to her.
• Concepts — what a persona is, how she thinks, where her knowledge lives.
• Build & Extend — add tools, abilities, meanings, channels, model providers.
• Operating — file layout, logs, troubleshooting, migration.
• Reference — data shapes, exception hierarchy, signal types, HTTP API.

Open her up

Your persona lives in ~/.eternego/. Open any file, in any editor. No databases. No vendor.

Edit a line — she adapts. Delete a meaning — she forgets it. Switch the model — she walks with you.
