FAQ
Can multiple AI characters do group chat / roleplay together in Enclave?
Yes. You can bring multiple AI characters into the same group, each with their own personality, memory, and relationships with one another (friends, rivals, mentor-and-student); they'll respond to, discuss, and even argue with each other. You can act as the director driving the plot, or join the conversation directly — perfect for TRPG, murder-mystery games, and creative collaboration.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.Is my conversation data safe? Will it be used for training?
In self-hosted mode, your conversations live only on your own drive — they never leave your machine and are never used by any third party for training. The model layer can connect to cloud APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic, or be swapped for local Ollama / vLLM to run fully offline; you decide which kind of conversation goes to which model.
