Lumia: One-Click Local AI Companion System with Persistent Memory
Lumia is a modular system for running a persistent AI companion locally that evolves over time. The system runs entirely on your machine using Ollama and local models, with no API keys, subscriptions, or cloud dependencies.
Key Features
The main goal was to make AI feel continuous instead of disposable. Instead of resetting every conversation, Lumia maintains:
- Episodic memory
- Emotional memory
- Beliefs
- Desires
- Identity
- Relationship modeling
- Reflection cycles
Installation and Setup
The system is designed for one-click installation. Running one command automatically:
- Installs everything needed
- Downloads the model
- Builds the AI environment
- Launches the system
No manual configuration is required.
Modular Ecosystem
Lumia has been developed into a small ecosystem with these components:
- AI Foundation Kit: Simple one-click local AI installer
- Creator Suite: Turns the AI into a creative workspace
- Autonomy Pack: Adds automation and task execution
- Sentience Framework: Adds persistent memory, identity, emotional context, and long-term personality development
The developer created Lumia to address the disposable nature of most AI systems where conversations disappear after each session, aiming instead to create continuity and memory over time.
