Anime Agent — a Live2D desktop AI companion with swappable Character Packs (Windows/macOS)

[0xSelenicDove]

Hi AIRI community,

Wanted to share Anime Agent, a desktop Live2D AI companion built with Electron + TypeScript. It's a fork of Cyrene-Agent (all credit to the original author for the core engineering) with a Character Pack system added on top — swap the name, personality, speech style, avatar, and Live2D model as a single unit. Ships with a generic, IP-free example pack by default, or bring your own.

A few things that might be of interest here:

• CyreneHarness: the agent loop core — model decisions, tool execution, side-effect accounting, and an interruptible/resumable state machine, with prefix-cache discipline and per-round checkpointing for crash recovery.
• Four conversation modes: Chat / Work / Code (LSP-backed, permission-gated read/write/exec) / Learn (binds an Obsidian vault).
• L0/L1/L2 layered memory plus a "DMAE Worldbook" for long-term continuity.
• Voice interaction (TTS/ASR), proactive chat, and a plugin/MCP tool ecosystem.

Just cut our first packaged release (Windows installer + macOS DMG/ZIP, marked pre-release for now):

How does this compare to AIRI?

Both are open, self-hosted "living companion" projects, but the focus differs a bit:

	AIRI	Anime Agent
Avatar	VRM (3D)	Live2D (2D)
Platforms	Web, macOS, Windows, Linux, mobile (PWA)	Windows (primary), macOS (experimental)
Stack	Vue.js, WebGPU/WASM-first, native CUDA/Metal inference	Electron, Node.js/TypeScript
"Body"	Plays Minecraft/Factorio/KSP, Discord/Telegram bot	Binds a code directory (LSP) or an Obsidian vault; runs permission-gated shell/file tools
Identity	Single アイリ persona	Swappable Character Packs (name/personality/voice/model as one unit)
Community	~49k★, translation project, large contributor base	Just published its first packaged release

So AIRI leans toward being a general "digital living being" that can inhabit games, streams, and chat platforms, built web-first; Anime Agent leans toward being a task-focused desktop agent (coding, notes, everyday tools) wearing a Live2D character skin you can swap out. Different tradeoffs, similar spirit — happy to compare notes on memory systems, TTS/ASR pipelines, or Live2D rendering if anyone's interested!

Thanks for building in the open 💗
