Provider orchestration

Route prompts across Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Bedrock, and optional local Ollama with configurable failover and model selection.

Session memory

Conversations are sessionized, summarized, and embedded for semantic retrieval. The bot remembers what was discussed across sessions, not just the last few messages.

AI capabilities and automations

Ship useful workflows out of the box: summaries, introductions, event planning, moderation signals, and owner digests.

Integration-ready commands

Connect live data workflows for weather, transit, venues, news, books, and game utilities without custom glue code.
