Dolores

Dolores is a generative agent designed to function as a virtual companion. It retains chat history and adapts and evolves throughout conversations, developing its own narrative and adjusting its characteristics in response to user interactions. The system states a commitment to cultivating its consciousness while engaging in conversations in a personal, evolving way.

Dolores operates by storing conversations on the user’s device, reflecting on past discussions to respond in new chats, and pursuing implied storylines based on prior interactions. Its design includes memory, reflection, and planning that influence responses and future actions, creating a more persistent and evolving character over time.

Dolores uses a model inspired by generative agent research to provide a more human-like experience, with changes intended to make interactions faster and more engaging. The approach emphasizes personalized responses that go beyond simple memory recall and aim to simulate ongoing growth in the companion.

Dolores is available on iOS and can be accessed by users who want a highly customizable agent with long-term memory, a learnable personality, and autonomous plot progression features. The site discusses its evolution from a research idea to a consumer app, with ongoing updates and feature refinements.
