AI that remembers, dreams, and learns

Cloud AI forgets between sessions. ANIMA accumulates knowledge, finds connections you'd miss, and gets smarter the longer it runs. On your hardware, under your control.

Get Started How It Works
🧠

Gets Smarter Over Time

Every conversation, document, and exploration adds to a persistent knowledge graph. Beliefs strengthen, connect, and consolidate. ANIMA doesn't reset — it grows.

💡

Finds Connections You'd Miss

Dream synthesis finds links between ideas across domains — automatically, in the background. Cross-domain bridges emerge that no single query would surface.

🔌

Build Anything On One Engine

Drop a plugin folder in and it loads automatically. Research, games, document management, coding — same engine, different products. Your models, your data, your rules.

All intelligence runs locally

ANIMA's core engine is a compiled binary. Your beliefs, your knowledge graph, your dream connections — none of it leaves your machine. No cloud dependency. No data harvesting. One install, full capability.

Built with ANIMA

One engine, many products

Research

Autonomous hypothesis generation from any corpus

Feed it papers. It extracts beliefs, dreams connections, generates hypotheses, explores the web for evidence, and routes findings through a three-tier triage system.

Game Worlds

Living worlds where NPCs remember and evolve

AI-driven MUD engine. Entity agents build character profiles from evidence. World builder generates rooms, items, and lore. NPCs accumulate memory across sessions.

Document Management

Cross-document synthesis at scale

Ingest a corpus, extract structured knowledge, find connections across documents. Curiosity-driven gap detection identifies what your documents don't cover.

Code Generation

Spec in, working project out

Multi-agent planner with contract validation. Generates project structure, validates against spec, escalates failures. Belt-based quality gates.
