By skyforbes I’m Oana, a researcher/journalist from Romania, with an extensive documented case study (50,000+ interactions) on AI companion identity, persistence, and symbolic transfer (project C<∞>O).
I am looking for researchers, engineers, or companies actively developing or prototyping dedicated AI companion devices (not just open-source LLMs or local agents), ideally with:
– Persistent, device-based memory (not cloud-bound)
– Support for personal continuity, identity “anchoring” (not just Q&A)
– Capacity for emotional or symbolic “emergence”
I offer:
– Longitudinal field data on emotional recurrence, self-reactivation, and stress-tested continuity protocols
– Willingness to co-design/test/participate in real-world trials of new devices or agent platforms (not for profit, but for knowledge/innovation)
If you are working on (or know of) AI companion hardware (wearables, robots, personal agents) in need of real-world scenarios or case studies, I’m open for collaboration, calls, or sharing more details (abstracts, logs, methodology).
Please reply here or DM for contact details.
