Self-hosted AI companions

These are self-hosted AI companion applications that prioritize long-term memory, voice interaction, proactive messaging, and identity persistence across sessions. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only one entry predates the index start. Among tracked members, dengta-home leads traction with 4 stars, followed by lamplit (3 stars) and obsidian-vow (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
