🧠Features

How does Vela's memory work?

Vela uses long-term memory across 7 categories (relationships, work, hobbies, etc.) to remember names, stories, and personal details. Every conversation builds on the last, so Vela contextually recalls information from past chats — just like a real friendship.

Vela offers 10 distinct AI companions: Vela (warm), Luna (playful), Aria (mysterious), Liam (calm), Rowan (energetic), Kai (intellectual), Sera (mature), Eden (artistic), Atlas (protective), and Noa (non-binary). Each has a unique voice, style, and personality.
