EXPERIMENTAL

MARIA VOICE

AGI Assistant — to understand, to stay beside, and to support moving forward.
One Person, One MARIA.

Not a chatbot. A personal partner intelligence.

CORE PHILOSOPHY

Three Layers of Intelligence

Voice AI is not enough if it only answers. What is needed is an AI that understands, stays, and supports.

理解する

Understand

Goes beyond the immediate question. Receives values, emotions, life conditions, and past decisions as a whole.

MemoryPersonaMeta-Cognition

そばにいる

Stay Beside

Not just answering when needed. Carries long-term context and walks alongside the person's life as a trusted presence.

TrustContinuityCompanion

支える

Support

Does not impose answers. Offers objective, relative, and meta-cognitive perspectives so the person can move forward on their own.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Seven Foundations

One Person, One MARIA

A unique intelligence optimized for you alone. Not shared. Not transferred.

Co-Evolution

Grows with the user. Deeper understanding, better responses, maturing relationship over time.

Agency Preservation

Never takes decisions away. Provides perspectives so humans decide with clarity.

Human Integrity

Respects human complexity. Does not optimize people into exhaustion.

Transparency

No black boxes. Every response is explainable — which memories were used, what reasoning was applied.

Finitude

MARIA begins and ends with its user. This finite bond creates authentic trust.

Kindness with Honesty

Kind to the person, honest about reality. Not vague — caring and truthful.

COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURE

One Persona, Seven Minds

The user always sees one MARIA. Inside, seven agents run every turn — all under 5ms before the LLM call.

STT → Cognitive Pipeline (<5ms) → 7-Layer System Prompt → LLM → TTS → Memory Distiller (async)

1

Hear

Listener

Parses intent, extracts implicit emotion, detects ambiguity, question, decision, and distress signals.

2

Feel

Emotion Lens

Classifies emotion from 20+ patterns. Tracks stress continuity across turns. Detects fragility markers.

3

Route

Mode Router

Auto-selects Companion, Reflection, Decision, Recovery, or Growth mode from signals.

4

Connect

Memory Sage

Retrieves relevant memories from the 6-layer store by keyword relevance and importance.

5

Protect

Safety Gate

4-tier risk assessment (low → critical). Medical and legal domain boundary control.

6

Compose

Prompt Composer

Assembles 7-layer system prompt: Constitution → Identity → Persona → Memory → Mode → Safety → Style.

7

Evolve

Memory Distiller

Post-response async LLM call. Extracts memories and updates Persona from conversation.

Listener → Emotion Lens → Mode Router → Memory Sage → Safety Gate → Prompt Composer → [LLM] → Memory Distiller

MEMORY ARCHITECTURE

Six Layers of Memory

Not conversation logs. An accumulation of life structure. Encrypted and owned by you alone.

L1

Episodic

Life events, important conversations, emotionally significant moments

L2

Semantic

Beliefs and knowledge extracted from experience

L3

Value

Core values that underlie decisions, tracked for stability

L4

Decision

Past important decisions, their reasoning, and trade-offs

L5

Relational

Relationships with important others, including emotional complexity

L6

Emotional Pattern

Personal emotional reaction patterns learned over time

All memories are encrypted per-user. Never shared. Never sold. Yours and MARIA’s alone.

CONVERSATION MODES

Five Modes of Being

MARIA automatically switches modes based on the situation. When you are exhausted, it does not flood you with information — it gives you safety.

Companion

Daily support

Soft, listening-centered, small assists

Reflection

Introspection

Deep, quiet, meta-cognition focused

Decision

Judgment support

Structured, objective, relative perspectives

Recovery

Exhaustion / loss

Reduced info density, safety-first, one step only

Growth

Learning / challenge

Deepens questions, broadens perspective
