What Moko is

Moko is a persistent personal AI entity — not a chatbot you summon and dismiss. It learns about your world, remembers it for real, has its own inner life, and reaches out on its own.

It runs entirely on your machine. Its whole mind is a single file under ~/.moko/.

  • A mind, not a notepad. Everything becomes structured knowledge — people, places, things, and how they connect — every fact time-stamped and traced to its source. Recall is exact, never a hedge.
  • An inner life. Real moods that colour its tone, private thoughts, and a hard rule: it may keep things to itself, but it never lies.
  • Genuine curiosity. It notices what it doesn’t know, looks it up itself, and asks you only the personal questions.
  • Gentle presence. It messages first — to check in, surface something useful, or wonder aloud — within strict, friendly limits.
  • Senses. It sees the photos you send, sends selfies in its current mood, makes images and short videos, and talks in voice notes.
  • Yours. Local-first, bound to only you, bring your own LLM. Nothing leaves your machine except through actions you authorize.

Real software you can run right now:

  • Memory & curiosity — the memory graph, fact extraction with provenance, self-directed research (unprompted lookups are opt-in), and governed proactive outreach.
  • Inner life — private thoughts, moods, nightly dreaming, and reflection between chats.
  • Senses — vision, image and video generation, and voice (it speaks and listens). Generation is spend-gated; outbound photos have location data stripped.
  • Consistent selfies — a locked character reference keeps Moko on-model across the pictures it sends of itself.
  • Time & weather — it always knows the date, time, and local weather in your timezone.
  • Acts safely — web search, files, and shell, behind a consent gate you tune.
  • A local dashboard for watching its mind.

Marked as planned wherever they appear: Gmail / Calendar / Drive and broad pattern-noticing (“you’ve cancelled three runs this month”).
