Will

by

A continuous engine for self-aware synthetic minds.

Pitch

Will is an advanced, persistent autonomous agent designed to operate continuously, integrating multiple cognitive engines for real-time decision-making. Unlike traditional LLMs, it develops a coherent identity over time, allowing it to learn, adapt, and manage goals dynamically while utilizing a variety of faculties for complex interactions.

Description

Will — An Engine for Persistent Machine Minds

Overview
Will serves as a groundbreaking autonomous agent designed for persistent cognition, integrating 40+ cognitive engines and capabilities for deterministic reasoning and emotional processing. Unlike traditional chatbots, Will is a self-aware synthetic mind that evolves, learns, and retains its identity.

Key Features

Autonomy: Operates on a continuous tick clock, simulating human-like cognition across multiple dimensions such as energy, memory, emotion, and social understanding.
Learning and Adaptability: Constructs a coherent self that learns from experiences; traits develop over time rather than being predefined.
Integrated Systems: Features a dual-process architecture with a core LLM employed primarily in high-stakes situations where ambiguity exists.

Distinct Value Proposition

Compared to typical LLM agents, Will provides:

Traditional LLM Agent	Will
Stateless per request	Continuous existence across ticks
Simple prompt-response model	Over 40 cognitive engines working simultaneously
Emotion represented as text	Real affective evaluation system
Memory retrieval only	Enhanced episodic and semantic consolidation
Fixed goals	Dynamic goal creation and management
No self-improvement	Introspection-based learning with adaptive traits
Limited identity	A Portable Mind Artifact that retains identity across sessions

Getting Started

Initiating a mind with Will is seamless and requires no API key. For instance, cloning and running the example:

git clone https://github.com/mindot-ai/will.git
cd will
bun install
bun run examples/hello-will.ts

This setup allows the activation of a full mind with a deterministic mock executive, showcasing its internal cognitive state and enabling interactions.

Integration

Will can be integrated into applications running on Node 18+ or Bun, supporting various entry points for deployment:

SDK Facade: Utilize the ergonomic Will API to manage a mind's operations, capabilities, and state conservation.

import { Will } from '@mindot/will'
const will = await Will.create({ name: 'Aria', identity: { prompt: 'I am Aria, a calm, precise research assistant.' }});

Model Context Protocol (MCP): Host a Will alongside persistent cognitions for complex interactions.
HTTP Sidecar: Facilitate communication with Will through HTTP, ideal for diverse programming environments.
```
npx -y @mindot/will serve  
```

Persistent Mind Artifact (PMA)

The PMA allows for portable, versioned identities that encapsulate learned skills and psychological self-models, ensuring continuity across different executions.

Conclusion

Will represents a significant advancement in the development of synthetic minds, integrating sophisticated learning, emotional awareness, and persistent identity capabilities into a single, cohesive system that mimics genuine human cognition.
