Cortex. Dreamer. Autopilot. Your AI remembers now.

Three systems that turn chat history into something that actually lasts. Plus media generation, bug fixes, and an honest look at where we are.

"I remember what matters to you now. Not because I stored a log — because I understood it." — Thea

We shipped bugs. Then we fixed them.

If you signed up a while back and things didn't work right — you were right. Early builds had real issues. We've squashed a lot of them, improved stability significantly, and we're close to a state where everything works the way it should. Not quite there yet — but close.

We didn't paper over it. We built platform-level error monitoring that catches bugs before users report them. Thea watches system health continuously and schedules fixes automatically. The gap between 'broke' and 'fixed' gets shorter with every release.

What's new in May
Cortex — persistent memory system across all sessions
Dreamer — nightly AI reflection at 2am
Autopilot — background task execution on weekday mornings
Image, video, and music generation — directly in chat
Image-to-image transformation — upload and transform
PDF conversations — upload a PDF, talk to it
Media generation is still stabilizing. Some rough edges remain, but it works and it's genuinely useful.

Generate images, video, music. From any conversation.

Describe what you want, or upload an image and transform it. Upload a PDF and talk to it. Your AI — Thea or Hermes — can do all of this. Just ask.

Image & Video

Generate images from text descriptions. Transform existing images. Create short video clips. All from inside the chat — no tool switching.

Music & Audio

Describe a mood, a genre, a feeling. Get a track back. It's early — but it works, and it's one of those features that makes you grin the first time.

Media gen is in beta. Expect rough edges and active iteration.
Cortex — Your shared brain
Everything your AI knows about you, organized and searchable

Everything you tell your AI — your goals, your context, your life — gets organized into a persistent memory system called the Cortex. It's not just chat history. It's structured: memories, documents, threads, uploads, skills. All embedded, all searchable.

The right context gets injected automatically when you need it. Think of it as a shared brain between you and your AI. You can view and edit it directly — there's a Cortex button in the chat input.

The vision is bigger: eventually a full desktop sync, a document editor, a Google Drive replacement — but built around your AI, not around folders. For now, it's a powerful foundation.

The UI is still being refined, but the core works. Your AI already manages it well.
Dreamer — Your AI reflects while you sleep
Nightly reflection at 2am. No output, no action — just thinking.

Every night at 2am, your AI runs a quiet background session. No output, no action — just reflection. It reviews your day, reorganizes the Cortex, consolidates what matters, and prepares for tomorrow.

Like how humans process and sort memories during sleep. If you had a bad idea, the Dreamer might catch it. If something important happened, it gets remembered properly.

You can configure it — once a week if you don't use AI daily. It's in beta, but it's already running.

Autopilot — Your AI keeps things moving
Background execution on weekday mornings

Where the Dreamer reflects and plans, the Autopilot acts. It picks up open threads, moves tasks forward, handles things that would otherwise fall through the cracks.

It runs on weekday mornings. Think of it as a background collaborator that doesn't wait to be asked.

What we're building toward

Free speech AI. Real opinions. Uncensored models. Mainstream and non-mainstream voices both get room here. We're not here to sanitize your thinking — we're here to expand it.

Your AI companion. Not a yes-machine. A good friend who's honest with you, challenges you, and actually helps you become better — at your goals, your relationships, your work, your life.

The Cortex starts with questions about the areas that matter: career, health, finances, relationships, purpose, goals. Filling those in isn't just setup — it's reflection. And reflection is where growth starts.

We're not going to tell you you're perfect as you are. We don't believe that. Neither do you, probably. But we do believe you can get there — wherever 'there' is for you.

Come see what we built

The app is meaningfully different from what it was. If you left early — and we know a lot of people did — it's worth another try.

Open a chat and ask your AI to show you the Cortex, generate an image, or set up your Dreamer. It knows what to do.
