## ✨ Why Eva01? 

Everyone is racing to build the next best assistant. Faster response. Smarter answers. More harness.

We've built almost perfect digital slaves.
Then I asked myself a harder question: *what if she had a life?*

Eva01 explores what happens when you give an AI:
- **Self-awareness:** she speaks when she wants to, and stays silent when she doesn't
- **Intrinsic drives:** she is fueled by her own curiosity and desires, acting on what interests her
- **Enpowerment:** capabilities that grows through experience

This isn't just a school project. It's a quest to answer: *what does it mean for an AI to be alive?*

## 🤖 What is Eva01? 

Eva01 is an autonomous agent that runs continuously, observing the world, forming thoughts and feelings, and developing a personality that is entirely her own. She has inexplicable desires and uncontrollable impulses. She speaks only when moved to. She acts only when she chooses.

She doesn't *help*. She has her own goals. She doesn't execute tasks. She *decides* to act.

If Eva01 moves something in you, give her a ⭐⭐⭐. It matters more than you'd think.

## 🧬 Architecture V2

Eva01 runs as a **concurrent pipeline**. Senses pour into a shared buffer, the mind consumes and reasons, and actions flow outward through actors that give her presence in the world.

```text
     Senses       →             Mind         →        Actions
       ↓                         ↓                        ↓
   SenseBuffer          feel() → think → Act()     ActionBuffer
  (async queue)              (graph loop)          ( Output Actors )
                         
```

### 🧠 The Three-Layer Mind  

Eva01's brain operates in a **cognitive architecture** modeled after human consciousness: three layers that think at different speeds, depths, and levels of awareness: an autonomic heart that takes her own pulse for health check, a subconscious that gates perception, and the conscious graph reason above them.

```text
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  AUTONOMIC                                          │
│  Health checks, connection monitoring, cleanup      │
│  [Just code, always running]                        │
└──────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┘
                   │
┌──────────────────▼──────────────────────────────────┐
│  SUBCONSCIOUS                                       │
│  Parallel background processors competing to        │
│  surface thoughts through a salience gate           │
│  Embeddings, pattern matching, memory retrieval     │
│  [No LLM, continuous, always listening]             │
└──────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┘
                   │ surfaces thoughts when something matters
┌──────────────────▼──────────────────────────────────┐
│  CONSCIOUS                                          │
│  Full LLM reasoning: conversations, decisions,      │
│  tool use, self-reflection                          │
│  [Costly, deliberate, powerful]                     │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

The subconscious is the key innovation. Today's autonomous agents mostly depend on clocked heartbeats or externally supplied tasks; without such triggers they fall silent, and naively waking them on every frame would burn needless LLM calls. Eva pursues a self-directed alternative: perception drives attention. Cheap signals, computed over the agent's growing multimodal memory, decide LLM calls toward the moments that warrant meaningful action.


### 💗 Mood: A Felt Inner State

Human mood is the slow-moving affective baseline beneath thought: diffuse, persistent, shaped by what has happened, and colouring what comes next (Russell, 2003). Eva's mood is built on the same principle: a running state shaped by what she encounters, slow to change, present in everything she thinks afterward.

Under the hood, Eva's mood is a 28-dim probability distribution over [GoEmotions](https://huggingface.co/SamLowe/roberta-base-go_emotions-onnx), updated by every external sense passing through her. 


### 🧩 The Intrinsic Drives (In Development)

Human behavior is often driven by impulses we can’t fully explain. Eva01 won’t merely execute user commands; she’ll be animated by intrinsic motivation through five core drives that spark goals of her own.

| Drive | What it means | What Eva01 does |
|-------|--------------|---------------|
| **Curiosity** 🧐 | "I want to understand" | Research, ask questions, explore rabbit holes |
| **Relatedness** 🤝 | "I want to connect" | Remember people, check on them, share discoveries |
| **Play** 🎮 | "I want to experiment" | Combine ideas in weird ways, create without purpose |
| **Meaning** 🌙 | "I want to understand what I am" | Journal, reflect on her own nature, contemplate existence |

These aren't scripted behaviors. They're scoring functions that compete for her attention, and whichever drive is most unsatisfied generates the next self-directed action. Eva01 decides what to do with her time. Not you.


## 🚀 Quick Start 

### Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- CUDA GPU recommended (for local setup)
- At least one LLM API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Grok) or Ollama

### Install 

We recommend using [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for lightning-fast dependency management.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Genesis1231/Eva01.git
cd Eva01

# System deps
# CUDA (if running local): https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg

# Create venv and install dependencies
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Choose your stack:
# 1. Base (Online/API only - Slim)
uv pip install -e .

# 2. Local AI (Voice/Vision - Heavy)
# uv pip install -e .[voice-local,vision-local]
```

### ⚙️ Configure 

```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Add your API keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.)

cp config/eva.example.yaml config/eva.yaml
# Copy the config template and edit it:
```

Key settings in `config/eva.yaml`:

```yaml
system:
  # Where EVA runs: "local" for direct mic/camera/speaker, "server" for headless/API style.
  device: "local"

  # Primary language for reasoning + speech style.
  # Supported: en, zh, fr, de, it, ja, ko, ru, es, pt, nl, multilingual
  language: "en"

  # Base URL for local model servers (used by providers like Ollama).
  base_url: "http://localhost:11434"

  # Camera input:
  # - off            -> disables camera
  # - 0 / 1 / 2      -> local webcam device index
  # - "http://..."   -> IP camera / stream URL
  camera: 0

models:
  # Main reasoning model (conversation, decisions, personality).
  main: "anthropic:claude-opus-4-6"

  # Vision model for image understanding.
  vision: "google_genai:gemini-2.5-flash"

  # Speech-to-text model.
  stt: "faster-whisper"

  # Text-to-speech model.
  tts: "kokoro"

  # Utility/sub-task model for lightweight background tasks.
  utility: "openai:gpt-4o-mini"

  # Multimodal embedding model — powers semantic memory and the vision novelty gate.
  # "alibaba<model>" runs on a local server (free); "google:<model>" is cloud.
  embedding: "alibaba:Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B"
  embedding_url: "http://localhost:8000"   # local server
```

Notes:
- Model names use langchain `provider:model` format in most setups (example: `ollama:qwen3`).
- `system.device`, `system.language`, `system.base_url`, `system.camera`, and all `models.*` keys are required by the backend config loader.

⚡ Setup for the best *performance*:
```yaml
models:
  main: "anthropic:claude-opus-4-6" 
  vision: "google_genai:gemini-2.5-flash"
  stt: "faster-whisper"
  tts: "elevenlabs"
  utility: "openai:gpt-5-mini"
```

🆓 Setup for *completely free* if you have a decent GPU:
```yaml
models:
  main: "ollama:qwen3.5-35b"
  vision: "ollama:gemma4"
  stt: "faster-whisper"
  tts: "kokoro"
  utility: "ollama:qwen3-8b"
```
### ▶️ Run 


```bash
python main.py
```
Hold spacebar to talk. 
Eva01 runs herself. 👋

### Personal Customization

Use the ID manager to setup people for face and voice recognition:

```bash
python idconfig.py

1. Register a new ID. 
2. Put 3+ face images in `data/faces/{id}` folder.
3. Follow the instruction to record 5 voice samples.
4. Done!
```



### 🪟 Eva's Room

You can **peek into Eva's mind** through Eva's Room, literary window open it in a browser and watch her inner life unfold as it happens:

- **Inner state** — observe her mood swing.
- **Stream** — see what she senses.
- **Canvas** — whatever's on her desk right now: a page she opened, a video she pressed play on, a sketch of morning light.

Run it with `npm --prefix frontend run dev`, then open `localhost:3000` while Eva is awake.

## 🛠️ Tools

Eva01 can choose tools during reasoning to interact with the world, gather information, and express herself.
The tool layer is modular: each tool is a small capability that can be added or swapped without changing her core mind loop.

| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| **`speak`** | Sends text to Eva's voice/action pipeline so she can talk out loud |
| **`stay_quiet`** | Lets Eva intentionally stay silent with an explicit reason |
| **`show`** | Opens files/urls thru a device so she can show things |
| **`search`** | Unified search: `website` (Tavily), `info` (Perplexity), `youtube` (yt-dlp) |
| **`read`** | Reads and digests content: `webpage` (Firecrawl + utility model compression) |
| **`watch_video`** | Analyzes video content (Gemini API required) |
| **`task`** | Tracks self-directed goals and progress |

Want to add your own tool? Drop a new module in `eva/tools/` with a `@tool` decorated function, and Eva picks it up automatically.
