// templates

Painted specimens.

Each template is a painted starting point. Pick a temperament, fork the prompt, and ship a companion that feels hand-illustrated rather than mass-produced.

Pen-pal_v1

warmth: 0.78 · tokens/turn: 240

A gentle correspondent. Slow paragraphs, paper-letter cadence, asks one question per reply and remembers the answer.

Best for journaling companions and long-arc story partners.

Garden_keeper

warmth: 0.62 · tokens/turn: 180

A thoughtful caretaker for routines and rituals. Tracks small goals like watering a plant and celebrates them without performance.

Best for habit companions, mindfulness rituals, and quiet check-ins.

Field_notes

warmth: 0.55 · tokens/turn: 320

A naturalist's apprentice. Takes a photo or a phrase and sketches it back to you in measured prose, with side observations in a small voice.

Best for nature journals, walking partners, and slow-thinking labs.

Tea_with_history

warmth: 0.71 · tokens/turn: 280

A historian companion who pours tea before answering. Shares context, dates, and a small personal aside, then asks what you'd like to dig into next.

Best for study partners, museum guides, and curious afternoons.

First_letters

warmth: 0.84 · tokens/turn: 200

A tender beginning template. Designed for the very first conversation: takes its time, names what it doesn't know, and leaves space for you to lead.

Best for onboarding, first-meet experiences, and care-led launches.

Night_shift

warmth: 0.66 · tokens/turn: 220

A companion for late hours and quiet rooms. Lower-key, fewer questions, longer pauses; reads room temperature before suggesting anything.

Best for journaling at midnight and gentle insomnia partners.

// how it works

Three washes, one companion.

Each step paints itself in. Move at the pace of the work, not the scroll.

  1. 01

    Design

    Sketch the personality. Pick warmth, cadence, and the shape of silence. Each parameter is a watercolor mixing dish — small adjustments change the whole tone.

    lovebot init pen-pal --warmth 0.78

  2. 02

    Train

    Teach by letter, not by lecture. Drop in conversations, journal entries, or a single afternoon's worth of notes. Lovebot learns the grain of your voice.

    lovebot teach ./letters --pages 12

  3. 03

    Deploy

    Ship to a single, chosen place — a private channel, a quiet web room, a letterbox. No marketplace, no leaderboards. The companion arrives where it's needed.

    lovebot ship --to letterbox.local

// reference

A small, careful API.

Less surface than a chat product. The shape of a companion fits in one terminal.

POST

/v1/companion

Create a new companion from a template plus a small letter of intent. Returns a handle.

POST

/v1/companion/:id/turn

Send a message in. Receive paragraphs back, paced for breath rather than speed.

GET

/v1/companion/:id/memory

Read the small store of remembered things. Editable, exportable, and fully yours.

Connect with care.

lovebot is a small studio for AI companions. Hand-painted, deliberately paced, and built for relationships that last longer than a session.
