Hi everyone, thank you for yesterday’s call (2025.05.01). Special thanks to @swift for sharing his work on ANIMA! This is the generated summary (short version, please find the long version here ): In this session of the DeAI Working Group, Michael presented ANIMA, a project focused on building emotionally aware, persistent AI personalities (ANIMAs) on the Internet Computer. The group explored its architecture—combining LLMs, memory, emotional modeling, and on-chain identity—as well as its broader implications for AI cognition, personality simulation, and autonomy. Discussions ranged from technical challenges like HTTP outcalls and multimodal tool ecosystems to deeper philosophical questions about anthropomorphizing AI and simulating time, with participants recognizing ANIMA’s potential as both a user agent platform and research testbed.
