DigiFrens
An iOS AI companion app featuring animated avatars with persistent memory systems and personality evolution. Built as solo-founder project seeking $200K through futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio platform. The app combines VRM 3D and Live2D 2D avatars with multi-provider AI backends (Apple Intelligence, OpenAI, Claude, local LLMs) and a cognitive graph memory architecture with 9 retrieval strategies. Planned Gaussian Splatting avatar generation from single photos as key differentiator.
