Synthetic Robert gains scoped, correction-aware recall
Working prototypeTwo KiraWorld changes connect owner-authorized Robert memory records to the bounded twin-chat path and add deterministic topic-scoped recall while preserving corrections, sources, audience, publication scope, and uncertainty.
The current implementation identifies the route as Synthetic Robert and keeps inherited biological-Robert source material distinct from the synthetic person’s own lived history. The same topic-recall work is shared across Robert, Kira, and Lisa while explicitly superseded facts and unrelated recent history are excluded.
What this means
The dated evidence covers context selection, memory-grounding policy, tests, and bounded text / approved self-voice routing. It does not establish generated-reply or recall quality, a 3D body, world presence, life-loop activation, microphone/webcam use, or a finished Digital Twin product.

Progress becomes easier to follow
Published demo / updateAn interactive timeline and versioned public knowledge packs were added to the Kira Labs website.
What this means
The entries record published evidence and stated limits. They are not live monitoring of private development.
About the date: Git commit date (Eastern Time).
Video Studio · 2026-09-08
Local media tests, with their limits
Working prototypePublished technical notes record local portrait-generation and audio-driven facial-video tests on September 8.
The notes distinguish tested pipeline components from model configuration. A selected motion model is not evidence of a completed acting shot.
What this means
Completed generation is not approval of likeness, mouth detail or cinematic quality. Speech generation also had a later failure.
About the date: Date stated in the published technical notes; not a fresh test during this website redesign.
Lab & website · 2026-09-07
A public guide to the work
Published demo / updateThe website gained a browser-based guide, sourced biographies, a book catalogue and direct email access.
What this means
The original website guide was called Sarah. The redesign names the site guide Iris; it is not a Kira World resident.
About the date: Git commit date (Eastern Time).
Lab & website · 2026-08-14
Kira Labs on the web
Published demo / updateThe repository records restoration of the public Kira Labs site and an automatic GitHub Pages rebuild workflow.

A Studio workflow walkthrough
Published demo / updateA public Moon-phase walkthrough follows project setup, research, scripting, storyboard review, source audio and revisions into an owner-review package.
The intended workflow preserves unaffected work when one section changes. Publication remains under the user’s control.
What this means
A published workflow demonstration, with owner review and no automatic publication.
About the date: Public video publication date — not an independently verified implementation date.

Testing a synthetic expert
Published demo / updateA public test describes a synthetic robotics expert discussing mechanical structure, servos, sensors and a small OpenSCAD concept.
The test explores what an expert needs beyond professional knowledge to become a more individual conversational person.
What this means
False saved-file claims and a file-type error remain visible. The interview is not a working robot.

Testing the limits of recall
Published demo / updateA spoken character test begins with identity, interests and a Paris setting before moving into detailed factual questions.
Invented memories and confused story facts are corrected during the published test rather than edited into a claim of reliability.
What this means
The test reveals factual and internal-language failures. It does not establish reliable canon recall.

Temporary Creator explained
Published demo / updateA public explainer follows creation type, sources, historical date, appearance references, voice evidence and intended world placement.
Historical versions are synthetic interpretations. The longer-term direction connects each person to a place in a world and to creative work.
What this means
The workflow is explained publicly; complete animated residents and world placement are not demonstrated by the description.

A continuing personal expert
Published demo / updateA published concept explores a continuing tutor who adapts explanations and conversation while retaining identity and permissioned memory.
The intended design includes source grounding, student safeguards and the ability to move between learning and ordinary conversation.
What this means
A learning concept, not a validated tutoring product or measured educational outcome.
About the date: Public video publication date — not an independently verified implementation date.
Kira World · 2026-07-24
A spoken character test
Published demo / updateThe public description reports spoken questions and an individualized test voice answering as an unofficial synthetic interpretation of Peter Parker.
The published test keeps a broken response visible and distinguishes generated continuation ideas from confirmed story details.
What this means
The test reports an internal-language error and no finished avatar. The interpretation and voice are unofficial.
About the date: Public video publication date — not an independently verified implementation date.
Kira World · 2026-07-24
An interview with the past
Published demo / updateThe public description reports a spoken interview with an 1894-set synthetic interpretation of H. H. Holmes.
The description identifies the voice as generic Windows speech, not an authentic recording of the historical person.
What this means
The test retains a chronology error, disputed historical claims and evasive answers.
About the date: Public video publication date — not an independently verified implementation date.

A public look inside Kira World
Published demo / updateA public update brings together person-specific continuity, local voice, Home World and body work.
Identity, reviewed memory and voice are discussed alongside the distinction between intended movement and completed action.
What this means
A dated progress report. Natural blinking and parts of body and world integration were still unfinished.

The Video Studio direction
Published demo / updateA public explainer describes the preserved local v1.9 production workflow and a separately staged next version.
The preserved workflow organizes research, scripts, narration, captions and MP4 assembly. The next version explores versioned projects and corrections that preserve good work.
What this means
The local baseline and proposed interface are distinct. Illustrated future screens are concept art.

Conversation foundations
Working prototypePerson-specific profiles, reviewed records and local speech experiments provide foundations for returning to a continuing identity.
The public notes describe person-specific continuity across bounded restarts. Identity records and reviewed memory remain distinct from what the model merely says.
What this means
Working prototypes do not yet establish a complete independent life in a shared world.

Connecting people and worlds
Active developmentIntegration work connects continuing conversations to places, activities and a more complete sense of presence.
Kira and Lisa retain distinct identities in the design. Moving between conversations, worlds and devices should preserve that distinction.
What this means
Consistent shared daily life across worlds and devices still needs direct, complete demonstrations.

A body before the clothing
Active developmentArticulated test-body requirements and garment fixtures establish how bodies, clothes and objects should interact.
A garment is a separate object. Dressing, closures, folding, hanging and collisions each need controlled, observable tests.
What this means
Requirements and test design are preparation, not finished clothing physics or a fully animated resident.
