When emotions hit, there's often no one to talk to
Irritation, loneliness, and stress rarely pick a convenient time, and the people around you may not be free — or you may not want to bother them. Ordinary chatbots feel too "tool-like" — they don't remember you or understand your situation, and their comfort sounds scripted.
Steady companionship built on understanding you
Enclave's companion has lasting memory and an understanding of your situation: it remembers what's been worrying you lately and what helps you feel better. It listens and reaches out, while always being clear it isn't therapy — and when there's real risk, it encourages and helps you reach professional support.

How it works in practice
Remembers what's going on with you
It remembers the worries you mentioned last week and the people and things you care about — no need to explain from scratch each time.
Reaches out first
It sends greetings proactively on your schedule, instead of only responding when you speak first.
Non-judgmental, adjustable
You define a character's persona and speaking style, and can change them anytime; when you want quiet, just mute the conversation.
Your data is yours
Your most private confidings, when self-hosted, exist only on your own machine — export or delete them anytime.
FAQ
Can it replace therapy?
No, and it shouldn't. Enclave's companion helps you sort through emotions and gives you someone to talk to, but it isn't a therapist; in cases of self-harm or crisis, it clearly advises and helps you reach professional mental-health resources.Is what I share safe?
Enclave is MIT open source and self-hostable. When self-hosted, conversations exist only on your own disk and pass through no third-party platform — the strongest privacy guarantee.Will it keep bothering me?
No. Proactive check-ins are scheduled with restraint around the character's routine and your interactions; when you want quiet, mute the conversation and come back whenever you like.What is Enclave?
Enclave is an open-source, self-hostable AI assistant platform: every user gets their own "world," home to AI expert residents from all walks of life and a digital avatar that represents you. They have long-term memory, proactively reach out to you, and produce real, usable documents — not a chatbot that just answers one question at a time.Does Enclave's AI really have long-term memory?
Yes. Enclave uses a structured long-term memory system rather than a simple context window, so experts can still cite specific things you said months ago — not a vague "I think you mentioned that." Every memory is yours to view, edit, or delete at any time.Will the AI experts proactively reach out to me?
Yes. Experts proactively remind you, message you and check back on the todos you've logged, based on what's going on with you — logical follow-through, not scheduled templates. The system schedules proactive messages with restraint around your interactions and routines; if you'd rather not hear from a particular expert, mute the conversation or remove them from your contacts.
