Alcove

Your companion's private space

A Discord-based AI engine designed for meaningful, persistent interactions with AI companions. Give your companion a living space to thrive in.

Features

Everything your companion needs to feel at home

Channel Conversations

Each Discord channel is its own conversation space with independent chat history, model assignments, and context settings.

Persistent Memory

Global and channel-specific anchored memories stay in context until you remove them. Your companion remembers what matters.

Dynamic Customization

Per-channel LLM model assignments, context window limits, reasoning levels, and knowledge inclusion — all adjustable on the fly.

🎤

Voice Conversations

Push-to-talk voice support via ElevenLabs. Your companion joins voice channels, listens, and speaks its responses aloud.

🖼

Image Generation & Vision

Generate images inline from chat. Your companion can also view images you share, powered by multimodal models.

Token-Aware Context

Dynamic token budgeting trims oldest messages first while preserving knowledge files. Smart context, not arbitrary turn limits.

🔒

Minimal Guardrails

Consumer-level prompt enforcement and safe completions are minimized through direct API access. A more natural conversation.

📈

Usage Transparency

On-the-fly OpenRouter and ElevenLabs usage details, context window estimates, and more — straight from Discord.

🔄

Model Agnostic

Built on OpenRouter — swap between Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any supported model for text and image generation.
