Sudomake Friends, personalized AI personas in a Telegram group chat

Virtual AI friends, personalized to you, that chat you (or don't!) on their own work/sleep schedules based on their timezones. They sometimes initiate chats. They sometimes go silent for hours. Just like real friends. I've been "dogfooding" this for the past week, and I think it's actually kind of neat. It's way better than generically chatting with an LLM. This repo includes a detailed setup wizard. You give it some info about yourself, which can include personal blogs/websites to scrape, github, mastodon, text documents, or just paragraphs you write off the top of your head. It…

Contribute to audiodude/sudomake-friends development by creating an account on GitHub.

A Telegram group chat where your friends are AI bots. Yes, it's come to this. Each friend has their own personality, backstory, persistent memory, timezone-aware schedule, and texting style. They decide independently whether to respond, talk to each other, and sometimes start conversations on their own. It's like a real group chat except nobody flakes on plans because nobody makes plans because they aren't real. uv run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audiodude/sudomake-friends/main/scripts/initialize.py That's it. One command. The wizard walks you through everything. Quit anytime — it checkpoints your progress: All your data lives in ~/.sudomake-friends/ . Drop the docker container and…from github.com

    Hey everyone, I've been hacking on this idea with a friend as we've been using chatgpt and other AI tools in our day to day work and find ourselves copy/pasting to each other frequently. We often share chatgpt links with each other, but it's been frustrating that they are read-only and we can't pickup the conversation or both talk to an LLM with shared context. We built a shared chatroom to explore what it'd be like to talk with multiple LLMs and humans in the same chat, and so far it feels pretty cool, but we're curious if anyone else would find it useful as well. Right now you can: -…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
