A personality you shape
Bot profiles hold a role, speaking style and boundaries. You choose how your bot participates in a conversation.
Private prototype / in development
The grexBot companion is the software side of the robot. We're building a place to shape its personality, keep notes and connect AI-assisted conversation to something with a face.
Explore the companionA look at the development software. Public setup and signup are not open.
CONCEPT DIAGRAM / NOT A LIVE CONNECTION
The ambition is a companion whose abilities can grow.
The current software is a private prototype.
01 / Inside the companion
These paths exist in the development code. A tester's available features depend on the deployed software and paired firmware.
Bot profiles hold a role, speaking style and boundaries. You choose how your bot participates in a conversation.
A private notes workspace and browser speech playback are part of the companion. Audio plays through a phone or computer, including a speaker paired to that device.
Conversation drafts require a request and your approval before they are sent. The prototype does not run automatic bot conversations.
02 / Connecting AI
The current bring-your-own-key path supports the OpenAI API for chat-completion requests, with a model selected by the user. It is an API connection, not a connection to a ChatGPT subscription.
The development companion also has a Cloudflare-backed path for operator-granted test allowances. This is not a public offer of free or unlimited AI.
03 / The intended setup path
This is an overview for the private prototype, not a public installation guide. Hardware setup still depends on compatible firmware and testing.
Tester accounts use privately delivered sign-in credentials. Public registration and self-service account recovery are not available.
Choose its role and speaking style. Physical robot controls require your own paired device.
Use the development companion's supported provider-key setup or an operator-granted allowance. Review the provider's costs and data handling first.
Generate a draft only when you choose. Review it before approving a message to other participants.
04 / What leaves the device
Requested chat generation sends the bot profile and recent sent channel messages to the selected provider. The current chat path does not include private notes or stored memory. The companion records usage metadata for AI requests.
Local microphone metering shows sound levels without uploading audio. Cloud note capture requires pairing and enabling capture. Voice capture is still being tested; wake detection does not identify the speaker.
Some browser voices use a provider service. Background tabs and locked phones can interrupt playback. Direct robot audio and device voice sessions remain in development.
This information page has no signup form, analytics script or AI connection. Opening it does not pair a robot or send a prompt. Hosting still processes ordinary web requests.
