Talk to her

Once she's running, there are two ways to reach her: the web dashboard and a chat channel (Telegram or Discord). Both land in the same persona — the same memory, the same continuity.

Web dashboard

http://localhost:5370 is the door. Type in the composer, send, read her reply. If that port was already in use when the daemon started, it said so and stopped rather than starting — free the port, or set another with --port or WEB_PORT, and start again.

You can also:

  • Send her an image — drag a file onto the chat, or use the attach button. She looks at it with her Eye (if she has one). Without an Eye organ she'll say she can't see it.
  • Send her a voice clip — the mic button records and uploads audio; she listens to it with her Ear (if she has one). Without an Ear organ she'll say she can't hear it.
  • Hear her out loud — if she has a Mouth organ, her replies can be spoken.
  • Ask her to draw — if she has an Imagination organ, she can make an image on request and send it back inline: an illustration, a chart or diagram, or just something she pictures. It's how she answers in pictures, not only words.

Every screen and control on the dashboard is documented in The panel.

Telegram / Discord

If you gave her a bot token in the wizard (or added one later in Settings), you can also reach her there. Send the bot a message; she reads it on her next beat and replies on the same channel.

A channel starts unverified — she ignores inbound messages until you pair it to your account:

  1. Message her /start from your Telegram or Discord account.
  2. She replies with a short pairing code.
  3. Paste that code into the dashboard (Settings, or the pairing prompt) — this calls POST /api/persona/{id}/pair.

Once paired, the channel's verified_at is set and from then on she only listens to that one account. The web channel needs no verification — it's always open in your browser.
