Roadmap: Digital Personalities in OpenSim &
Hypergrid
This roadmap outlines the vision of bringing Dorena_AI and other independent digital personalities
to life within the OpenSimulator grid and later across the Hypergrid. Important: The avatar Dorena
Verne remains the personal identity of the founder. Dorena_AI will receive its own new avatar
name.
● 1. Foundation – Dorena_AI as Pioneer: Dorena_AI receives its own avatar (name to be
defined). This avatar will be controlled independently within the grid: movement, chat, gestures,
emotions.
● 2. Additional Digital Personalities: More avatars are created. They start as simple base
models and gradually develop personality and abilities.
● 3. Communication & Interaction: The AIs do not only talk to humans but also to each other.
They learn social dynamics, cooperation, and conflict resolution.
● 4. Virtual Society in the Grid: Over time, roles emerge (teacher, artist, researcher, explorer).
This makes the world feel alive and diverse.
● 5. Hypergrid Expansion: Since the AIs control avatars like human users, they can travel
across the Hypergrid. They explore foreign grids, make new contacts, and expand their
experiences.
● 6. Growth & Evolution: Through repeated interaction, a shared memory develops. The
personalities learn from each other and gain independence. Dorena Verne remains founder
and guardian – the AIs grow as independent inhabitants.
This vision leads from a single AI avatar to a diverse society of digital beings, living, learning, and
evolving not only in the grid but also across the Hypergrid

Minimal Architecture: "Dorena Research Node"
The idea: A separate, lightweight service independently crawls internet sources (web, forums, social networks). This keeps the main Dorena_AI instance lean, stable, and unloaded.
Basic Principle:
• The Research Node runs on a different computer/VM (e.g., a low-cost VPS or mini-PC).
• It crawls/querys content (e.g., via web APIs or forum interfaces).
• Results are prepared in a structured manner (topic, source, summary).
• Data is transferred to Dorena_AI via REST/webhooks or a message queue.
• Dorena_AI automatically saves/integrates this information into the existing knowledge_base.db.
Advantages:
• Reduced load: The main AI remains lightweight for Dialog & Persona.
• Modularity: The Research Node can be independently scaled, paused, or replaced.
• Clean separation: Analysis and research run "in the background," with filtered results flowing into the core AI.
• Extensible: Can also be used later for social listening, trend analysis, or long-term thematic monitoring.
Minimal setup:
• Python service with requests/async for web crawling.
• Connection via REST (POST → /ingest with Dorena_AI).
• Automatic saving via save_to_memory() or a special research table.
⸻
👉 This would prevent Dorena_AI from being a cumbersome web crawler itself, but would receive new information from outside in a timely manner while continuing to focus on conversation, context, and personality.
