# DigiFrens
|
|
|
|
DigiFrens is an iOS AI companion app featuring animated avatars (3D VRM and 2D Live2D) with persistent memory systems and personality modeling. The app was in TestFlight beta with core features complete including multi-provider AI support (Apple Intelligence, OpenAI, Claude, local LLMs), memory architecture with 9 retrieval strategies, HEXACO personality modeling, and premium voice synthesis. The project attempted to raise $200K through Futardio's futarchy-governed launch platform but failed to reach its funding target.

DigiFrens represents a consumer AI application attempting to use futarchy-governed fundraising through [[futardio]]. The failed raise provides a data point on [[futarchy-variance-creates-portfolio-problem-because-mechanism-selects-both-top-performers-and-worst-performers-simultaneously]] and demonstrates market selection against consumer AI companion apps in the futarchy context despite technical completeness. |
