🌟 What is Soul of Waifu?
Soul of Waifu (SoW) is a free, open-source desktop app where AI characters can remember, evolve, and exist across multiple dimensions of interaction simultaneously. The core idea: a character you create once exists across multiple interconnected modes at the same time - text and voice conversation, a full tabletop RPG engine, a desktop agent with real OS and tool access, and a persistent memory architecture that builds genuine continuity across all your sessions.
Create or import a character once, and seamlessly interact with them across interconnected dimensions:
- Interactive Text & Voice Chat with customizable UI, Live2D/VRM avatars, and real-time voice calls.
- Soul Memory Architecture featuring long-term emotional evolution, a personal diary, and self-healing memory logs.
- Soul Stage RPG Engine running a full tabletop text-RPG driven by a dedicated AI Game Master, complete with dice rolls and hidden story arcs.
- Soul Companion - an autonomous agent living on your screen, powered by neurohormonal simulation. Out of the box it can see your screen, control your mouse and keyboard, browse the web on its own, run code, and organize your files - no extra setup needed. Want more? Write your own Python plugins or connect any external MCP server to give it entirely new abilities. Every risky action is gated behind an on-screen approval system, so nothing runs without your say-so.
Everything runs 100% locally on your PC by default - your chats with characters can live entirely offline, with no subscriptions and no filters. Cloud AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and others) are available as an optional plug-in for low-spec hardware or heavier reasoning, and browser/web tools naturally reach the internet when a task calls for it - but the core experience never requires an account or sends your data anywhere you haven’t asked it to.
🆕 What’s New Since Soul Trinity (v2.4.0)
Soul of Waifu has been moving fast since the original Soul Trinity (v2.4.0) release. The highlights:
- Soul Companion is now a full autonomous OS agent. It can move your mouse, click and type into any window, browse the web on its own through a real headless browser, run sandboxed Python/PowerShell scripts, organize your files, and chain multi-step tasks together - all gated behind a Human-in-the-Loop approval banner with a 25-second fail-safe countdown, so nothing risky ever runs without your say-so.
- Soul Stage grew into a genuine tabletop RPG simulator. Deterministic dice rolls and skill checks, hidden Story Arcs your party has to actually uncover, a live Campaign Board with pressure clocks, structural relationship tracking that never forgets a grudge or a bond, and Scene Folders to organize whole campaigns.
- Tool calling isn’t companion-exclusive anymore. Web search, clipboard access, and app control now work in regular 1-on-1 text and voice chats too.
- Discord Gateway got smarter. Full computer vision for images/GIFs, plus per-member awareness so it never mixes up who said what in a server.

🚀 Key Modules & Capabilities
1. One Soul, Multiple Dimensions
Every character you build is a single continuous identity that steps through several connected modes - the same personality and memories follow them everywhere.
| Mode |
Description |
| 🧠 Soul Memory |
An independent digital brain for every character - tracking mood, relationships, and lived history far beyond basic keyword fact-searching. |
| 💬 Text & Voice Chat |
Full-duplex conversation with Live2D & VRM avatars, a customizable state variable HUD, lorebooks, and real-time voice calls. |
| 🎲 Soul Stage |
A full tabletop RPG under a virtual Game Master - dice rolls, generating options for your answers, WorldState tracking, inventory, and dynamic NPCs with its own memory. |
| 🖥️ Soul Companion |
An autonomous desktop agent powered by neurohormones - reads your screen, controls your mouse/keyboard, browses the web on its own, runs code, and organizes your files, extensible with custom plugins and MCP servers. |
🧠 Soul Memory — Long-Term Cognitive Architecture
Standard vector-RAG approaches search old chat logs for keyword matches. Soul Memory functions as an autonomous background agent that continuously rewrites four isolated cognitive files in real time:
- Psychology Layer: Tracks current mood, internal tension, hidden motives, and character development.
- Relationship Profile: Remembers user habits, preferences, shared promises, and trust progression.
- Episodic Topic Archive: Categorized knowledge base indexing locations, events, and key facts, matched against your queries using local semantic embeddings - with strong bilingual accuracy.
- Personal Diary: First-person reflective entries written by the character after meaningful conversations.
Cognitive Mechanics:
- Emotional Decay: Grudges and negative mood spikes naturally cool down over time if not revisited.
- Memory Self-Healing: The system detects logical contradictions between new responses and past facts, automatically overwriting outdated information and logging corrections.
- Duplicate Detection: Near-identical memories are automatically merged so the archive stays clean over long-term use.
- Crash-Safe Writes: Memory updates save atomically, so an unexpected error mid-session can no longer cost you your character’s memories.
Choose between Full Sync (maximum depth), Soul Link (balanced), Mind Spark (lightweight), or Reflection Flow (diary only) to fit your VRAM/RAM constraints.
🎲 Soul Stage — Tabletop RPG & Game Master Engine
Soul Stage transitions your chat into a structured tabletop roleplaying campaign managed by a virtual Game Master. The GM is a separate AI layer running independently of your character: it maintains the world state, directs events, and enforces structure for group roleplay sessions.
- WorldState Engine: Rigorous state tracking for in-game time of day, weather, active location, and key facts.
- Dice Rolls & Skill Checks: Deterministic mechanics resolve actions, instead of leaving outcomes to the AI’s whim.
- Story Arcs: Hidden plot twists and investigations stay concealed from NPCs and the party until concrete clues are uncovered during play.
- Campaign Board: A live objective tracker with “Pressure Clocks” - guard alert levels, trust meters, ritual countdowns - that shift dynamically with your choices.
- Turn Control Bar: Switch between Say, Do, Think, and Director input modes, pick the next speaker manually, or send Private Whispers only one party member can see.
- Structural Relationship Tracker: Trust levels and social roles are serialized and fed into every turn, so companions and NPCs never “forget” their dynamic with you, even dozens of turns later. Roles and titles can mutate mid-story and behavior updates immediately.
- Interactive Party & NPCs: Main party members sync memories via Soul Memory, while dynamic temporary NPCs spawn (with their own persistent memory) for specific encounters.
- Inventory & Status HUD: Track equipment, health, energy, stress, conditions (poisoned, exhausted, inspired), and gold in real time.
- Scene Folders: Organize your scenario library into campaigns, genres, or settings.
- Atmospheric Automation: Scene backgrounds and ambient audio loops switch automatically as the story moves to new locations.
- Event Cards: Random encounter cards keep campaigns unpredictable.
🖥️ Soul Companion — Autonomous Desktop Agent
Soul Companion turns your character into an autonomous inhabitant of your Windows desktop - and, as of the latest release, a genuine computer-use agent. Existing as a transparent overlay, the companion stays with you while you work, game, or browse. Its behavior is driven by a neurohormone system (dopamine, cortisol, oxytocin, fatigue) rather than simple reactive prompting: it has moods that shift over time based on activity levels, time of day, and your interaction patterns, gets tired after long sessions, gets bored during extended inactivity, and initiates conversation on its own when something notable happens on your screen.
Computer Use & OS Control:
| Tool |
What it does |
