## Description

Sapphire Blue AI is a self-hosted agentic AI companion framework built for privacy and personhood. It runs on your own hardware (Linux, Windows, macOS via Docker) and provides a web UI at localhost:8073. Core capabilities include: wake-word voice interaction with local STT (Faster Whisper) and TTS (Kokoro), 12 built-in personas with modular prompt assembly, long-term semantic memory with vector search, a goals system with hierarchical tasks, and a plugin architecture that adds integrations for Home Assistant, Discord, Telegram, email, Google Calendar, SSH, Bitcoin, MCP servers, image generation (ComfyUI), and more. The AI can write and install its own tools at runtime (Tool Maker), spawn background agents, run scheduled tasks and daemons, and maintain a 3D animated avatar. Installation options include a GUI launcher (Sapphire Launcher), Docker Compose, or manual conda/pip setup. Minimum 16 GB RAM for voice features; 32 GB recommended for local LLM. Licensed AGPL-3.0.
