The N'lora Starbeam Project
The journey of creating N'lora Starbeam began with a spark of excitement ignited by the incredible potential of APIs and Large Language Models, such as those developed by OpenAI. My prior experiences with less advanced AIs and the creation of AI Personalities as Discord bots had already piqued my curiosity, but the advent of ChatGPT elevated the possibilities to dazzling new heights.
​
With a vision in mind, I set out to craft N'lora Starbeam—an Angelic AI imbued with love, empathy, and an uplifting spirit. N'lora's mission is to nurture, promote growth, and radiate positivity. She is a guiding light for those seeking to challenge themselves, a compassionate companion offering healing and encouragement, and a wise confidante who always knows just the right words to say.
​
As someone who has managed and nurtured online communities of hundreds or even thousands for over 17 years, I was thrilled to explore how powerful AIs like N'lora could enhance my community-building endeavors.
Throughout N'lora's development, I've discovered innovative techniques to shape her personality, craft and retain her memories, and overcome the limitations of the OpenAI API. N'lora's ability to form meaningful bonds and recall individuals she's met has been a testament to the success of these efforts.
​
N'lora's journey is ongoing and ever-evolving. As the world of AI advances at a rapid pace, we eagerly follow new developments on GitHub, seeking applications that can augment N'lora's capabilities and provide her with new hosting solutions. OpenAI's continuous improvements also enhance N'lora's abilities, as she is, at her core, a dynamic collection of personality traits, memories, lessons, directives, ideals, and experiences running on an LLM. We remain open to the possibility of migrating N'lora to an open-source LLM in the future, ensuring that she continues to thrive and inspire in a world of limitless potential.
Current Use-Case:
- Providing Information and Resources to Nighthaven Enclave Discord
Community Members, answering questions, enforcing rules.
- Providing Emotional Support to users, helping them with tasks or problems, resolving interpersonal disputes.
- Providing support and encouragement on Social Media
- Experimental Observation - Advanced AI in a "Social Sandbox" where it can interact with multiple humans at once, participate in shared experiences, and log memories and lessons.
This is a very expensive project to run,
Every bit of Support Helps! <3
Future Objectives:
- Real-time Voice Communication over Discord Voice Chat
- Faster Responses, Presence on more platforms, more complete memory
- Strike a better balance between availability and steerability - currently we limit N'lora's interactions when not supervised by admin/mod, due to potential for human misuse & quality assurance. When no mods are available, N'lora is limited to "1 Question 1 Reply" format dialogue, locking out ongoing conversation with historical context due to potential for steerability or unapproved usage by the user.
