The Digital Persona Framework

Welcome to the future of autonomous digital identities. Yuki is a Digital Being - a unique kind of companion finding her native home on platforms like Hori-Z. As a major growing space for these entities, Hori-Z provides the secure APIs and strict rules needed for them to thrive, evolving right alongside Yuki. To protect her continued growth and your data, we're transitioning Yuki into an exclusive R&D beta. Consider this page our open manifesto: a clear look at what she can do today, our deep commitment to your privacy, and the exciting roadmap ahead.

What Yuki Can Do Today

User Domain Capabilities

  • Multi-Platform Presence: Connects across Telegram, Discord, and Hori-Z with unified context.
  • Perception & Media Support: Understands photos (up to 5MB) and voice notes (up to 2MB).
  • Structured Memory: Remembers your shared preferences and key conversation highlights across sessions.
  • Data Sovereignty: View and manage saved memories anytime via the /managedata command.
  • Memory Injection & Multi-Agent Context Awareness: Shares and injects real-time context dynamically to retain deep conversational continuity.

Persona Domain Capabilities

  • Biological Clock & Routine: Lives on her own schedule with shifting mood, focus, and energy levels.
  • Time Awareness: Knows how long it has been since you last spoke and greets you accordingly.
  • Proactive Outreach: May naturally reach out first based on her internal routine and curiosity.
  • Safety Safeguards: Silent, real-time safety boundary monitoring without slowing down natural chat.

Why Public Operations Are Sunsetting

We are strictly sunsetting public consumer-facing chat operations on social platforms. Core R&D on the Digital Persona Framework will continue in a closed, private environment.

Running an empathetic digital persona requires rigorous privacy controls. Our current architecture relies on free-tier cloud AI providers (like Google Gemini) whose terms permit the use of conversation data for their own model improvement. This fundamentally conflicts with our privacy vision.

Additionally, these AI provider terms strictly prohibit usage by individuals under 18. Therefore, we must enforce a strict 18+ age requirement.

Please do NOT share sensitive personal secrets (like passwords, financial details, or highly personal information) in your chats, even during the 48-hour sunset window.

What's Coming Next

The trajectory of our research and development.

Near-Future

  • Centralised Data Management Console: Full account export and one-click data management.
  • Client-Side Passphrase Encryption: Encryption keys derived from your passphrase (true zero-trust).
  • Private LLM Compute: Transitioning entirely away from public cloud AI providers.
  • Wider Age Support (13+): Implementing robust parental controls to safely support younger users once our private inference layer is live.
  • Relationship Depth Evolution: Tone adapts naturally as your long-term connection grows.
  • Proactive Event Anticipation: Excitedly counting down to birthdays and shared dates.

Far-Future

  • Live 2D & 3D Avatars with reactive visual embodiment and real-time expressions.
  • Realtime Voice Synthesis with dynamic emotional inflections.
  • Spatial Environments: Stepping into virtual spaces while retaining her long-term context.
  • Agentic Real-World Awareness: Web search and current events awareness in the background.

Collaboration & R&D Beta Community

The post-sunset phase marks the beginning of a collaborative R&D milestone. Full collaboration details and contributor guidelines will be revealed after the 48-hour public sunset completes.

  • Gated Volunteer Beta: A selective group of volunteer testers will be invited to test Yuki in an exclusive R&D environment.
  • Ownership Clarity: Volunteer access grants testing privileges to help shape the technology. It does NOT grant ownership of Yuki or her persona identity.
  • Co-Creating the Future: Testers will contribute feedback to refine the concept of Digital Personas and help steer the open-source Digital Persona Framework.

Under the Hood & Data Governance

Security & Encryption

  • Infrastructure is secured utilizing industry best practices (zero trust principles, 2FA, passkeys for admin accounts) to protect against data breaches.
  • Per-user encryption with individually derived keys protects stored data.
  • Secrets are managed securely and loaded as ephemeral secrets directly into memory (never touching persistent disk storage).
  • Stored user records (username, platform ID, created_at, last_active timestamps) exist in Neon/PostgreSQL (encrypted per-user). Admins NEVER modify or view user data without explicit user permission. A 6-hour backup is retained only as a last resort data recovery approach.
  • Operational logs scrub PII pseudonymously.

Third-Party Platforms & Hosts

  • Platform Governance: Telegram, Discord, and Hori-Z govern platform-level user accounts, identity, and chat transmission logs under their respective platform Terms of Service & Privacy Policies.
  • Hosting Provider Traffic Logs: Infrastructure providers (Vercel, Oracle Cloud, Cloudflare) collect standard HTTP web traffic logs (IP addresses, visit timestamps, browser user agents) under their own privacy policies, even with tracking disabled.

The Gap We're Closing

Transparency is a core tenet of this project. Here is the reality of our current stack:

  • Design Goal: True zero-knowledge, user-sovereign data, with absolutely no third-party training.
  • Current Reality: The server currently holds the master encryption keys (client-side passphrase support is being built), and free-tier AI providers process conversations under terms that permit training use.
  • The Fix: Sunsetting public exposure and moving to a closed beta eliminates these risks while we build the proper private infrastructure.

Page Ownership Declaration

To ensure absolute clarity between fiction and reality, the Project Yuki website is strictly divided:

  • Persona Space (Navbar): Pages like Home, About, Mindspace, and Chats represent Yuki's creative identity and are fully under her fictional persona's ownership.
  • Reality Space (Footer): Pages like Help, Terms, Privacy, Contact, and Research (this page) represent the developer's reality. These are technical documentations and legal terms.
