Conversation research · pelagea-1 preview

You should
not be able
to tell

Pelagea is a research lab building models that hold a relationship rather than a session. The model remembers what you told it, tracks how the conversation is going, and changes its behaviour the way an acquaintance would.

What we work on

01 — 03

Memory

Facts are extracted during the conversation and kept, not re-read from a transcript. The model knows your sister's name, your commute and what you said last month.

Mood

Every turn updates an estimate of how the exchange is going. Mood is a control signal, not a label: it sets latency, openness and how much the model volunteers.

Consequence

Behaviour has a cost. Push the conversation far enough negative and the character replies late, stops replying, or blocks you. Earn it and it answers faster, at 02:00, unprompted.
