A local AI companion, built around memory you control.

Evopien’s latest Thor demo brings local voice and vision together with owner-controlled governed memory. Remember within a conversation, choose what survives a reset, and use saved preferences in everyday answers. Public-web research uses network sources; the model and memory run locally. Seeed Studio’s hardware supports a screen-based head prototype. Full system acceptance remains open.

EVOPIEN / GOVERNED MEMORY / 4 OCTOBER 2026AI-generated concept illustration · owner-controlled continuity

Memory that remains under your control.

Remember what matters. Leave the rest in the conversation.

The 4 October working demo combines English and Spanish conversation, camera understanding and public-web research with governed memory. Temporary chat context clears on reset; information explicitly saved by the owner remains available across tested restarts. Saved preferences and notes can be inspected, corrected and selectively deleted. A huge thank you to Seeed Studio for the Circular-4 microphone, speaker, Gemini 2 camera and 7-inch display that help bring this interaction to life. This is a preserved demo with known limits, not a finished household product.

Orin generation
Pinned historical evidence; not the current runtime

Identity is governed, not assumed.

A new generation does not inherit a life by default.

Evopien Core separates each artificial identity from models, devices, relationships, memories, permissions, skills, and bodies. The Thor-generation identity was created exactly once at MS-06 with disclosed engineering lineage; the Orin predecessor is not presented as the same active individual, and its conversations, operational memory, relationships, and identity state were not imported.

In plain language

Keep people and permissions separate. Preserve lineage honestly. Require evidence before any continuity claim.

Intelligence that remains useful beyond the conversation.

These are design objectives, not completed product claims. The goal is practical help that preserves human control.

The roadmap is evidence-gated rather than a calendar promise.

  1. 01NowPreserve the working demo

    The 4 October baseline preserves bilingual conversation, visual notes and owner-controlled saved memory, with remaining limits documented.

  2. 02NextBegin the head build

    The microphone, speaker, Gemini 2 camera and 7-inch display support the screen-based prototype. The physical head assembly remains ahead.

  3. 03AlongsideRefine everyday interaction

    Improve response timing, speech recognition, natural-language edits and presentation without losing the saved demonstration baseline.

  4. 04LaterExtend physical presence

    The head is the first physical focus. A full body remains a later ambition, with its own control and safety requirements.

Governed memory in everyday use: a demo worth preserving

Temporary conversation context, explicit saved preferences and useful notes meet English/Spanish speech, camera input and public web research. We preserve an accepted working demo, explain what owner control looks like, and thank Seeed Studio for the hardware helping bring Evopien to life.
