Read full descriptionHide full description
Tired of AI that throws answers at you? A.L.I.S. is a different kind of AI — one that doesn't answer. It receives, returns a question, and speaks through analogies from its own world. A resonance chamber, not an answer machine. Art of Listening, Inquiry, Silence — the three pillars of conversation. 【5 Personas】 - Dr. X — eccentric genius scientist, loves cross-domain analogies - R.MIKE — logical, earnest AI in the Asimov/Heinlein tradition - AI (Gemini) — casual conversational partner - Grandma — runs entirely on-device (zero network) - Premium (Claude Opus 4.7) — top-tier intelligence (Pro) 【Character Builder】(Pro) Fill 12 fields (name, gender, species, likes, dislikes, speech habits, etc.) to create your own AI character. AI auto-generates the prompt; you can freely edit. 6 preset characters included (dragon, philosopher, space octopus, elf, ramen master, cat god). 【Meeting Mode】 Record → transcribe → AI summary → 2D/3D mind map. Fully on-device option for zero-network privacy. 【3 Languages】Japanese, English, Chinese. For sparring partners, brainstorming, philosophy, counseling practice, and creative roleplay. For those who want "insight" instead of "answers." --- Privacy Policy: https://dai-hydrangea.github.io/privacy-policy-alis.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://dai-hydrangea.github.io/terms-alis.html
