What it does
Ashley is a BYOK AI companion for Windows with memory, voice, vision, 2D/3D avatars, pet mode, and real desktop actions. She can stay visible on your screen, react to what you do, open apps, control volume, play music, and work with xAI, OpenRouter, or Ollama.
Advanced. Bold. She doesn’t ask for your attention… she takes it.
Watch her open apps, play music, play games with you, react to what you say, join group chats with your other companions, and live on your desktop — with memory, voice, vision, and characters you create or import yourself. Ashley is no longer limited to one predefined character. Create a completely new desktop companion and customize their identity, personality, story, behavior, appearance, and AI model — or import an existing compatible character card and bring that character into Ashley. Create a friendly assistant, an emotional companion, an original character, or someone completely unique. Your new companion can use Ashley’s memory, voice, emotions, vision, avatar presence,…from ashley-ia.itch.io

Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
