# DigiFrens
|
|
|
|
DigiFrens is an iOS AI companion app that combines animated avatars (3D VRM, 2D Live2D, and Gaussian Splatting photorealistic models) with a persistent memory system and evolving personality architecture. The app is currently in TestFlight beta and attempted a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio that failed to meet its $200K target.
