Talk to her¶
Once she's running, there are two ways to reach her: the web dashboard and a chat channel (Telegram or Discord). Both land in the same persona — the same memory, the same continuity.
Web dashboard¶
http://localhost:5000 is the door. Type in the composer, send, read her reply. If port 5000 was taken when the daemon started, it picked the next free one and printed which — check the launch output.
You can also:
- Send her an image — drag a file onto the chat, or use the attach button. She looks at it with her Eye (if she has one). Without an Eye organ she'll say she can't see it.
- Send her a voice clip — the mic button records and uploads audio; she transcribes it with her Ear.
- Hear her out loud — if she has a Mouth organ, her replies can be spoken.
- Ask her to draw — if she has an Imagination organ, she can make an image on request and send it back inline: an illustration, a chart or diagram, or just something she pictures. It's how she answers in pictures, not only words.
Every screen and control on the dashboard is documented in The panel.
Telegram / Discord¶
If you gave her a bot token in the wizard (or added one later in Settings), you can also reach her there. Send the bot a message; she reads it on her next beat and replies on the same channel.
A channel starts unverified — she ignores inbound messages until you pair it to your account:
- Message her
/startfrom your Telegram or Discord account. - She replies with a short pairing code.
- Paste that code into the dashboard (Settings, or the pairing prompt) — this calls
POST /api/persona/{id}/pair.
Once paired, the channel's verified_at is set and from then on she only listens to that one account. The web channel needs no verification — it's always open in your browser.
