Everything you need to know about Animus Remnant.
What is Animus Remnant and how do Jarvis and Remnant work?
Animus Remnant is a private desktop and mobile app with two modes: Jarvis is a helpful assistant that automates tasks and learns how you speak and think through everyday conversation. Remnant uses that memory to speak in your cloned voice and answer questions the way you would.
How does Remnant answer questions I have never answered before?
Remnant organizes your beliefs, moral priorities, and life experiences into a connected memory graph. Instead of repeating canned recordings, it reasons through new dilemmas using your established principles, answering in your authentic voice and perspective.
Can my answers in Animus feed my Remnant knowledge graph?
Yes, if you choose to connect them. Animus is an anonymous public consensus platform. If you link your account, the real-world dilemmas you answer on Animus automatically teach Remnant how you think, making your digital likeness accurate much faster with zero extra work.
What is the 'Jor-El Principle'?
Inspired by Jor-El leaving his guidance and voice for Superman, it means giving parents, grandparents, and mentors the ability to leave a living, faithful voice for their families—so loved ones can always seek their counsel.
Why do you describe a 'persona' as a mask?
The Latin word 'persona' literally means 'mask'—the crafted face an actor wore to project their voice to the crowd. No machine can capture an unfathomable soul, and we make zero mystical claims. But your persona—your voice, your moral compass, your sense of humor, and how you reason through real dilemmas—is the mask you wear every day. Remnant builds an authentic, living embodiment of that mask so your voice and guidance remain present for those who need you.
What platforms are supported?
Animus Remnant is built with Kotlin Multiplatform and runs natively on Android, iOS, Linux (.deb / .AppImage), and Windows (.exe).
How does Jarvis control my computer?
On Linux and Windows, Jarvis runs system commands, manages files, and automates tools with spoken requests. Your system tools and private memories stay strictly separate.
Is my personal data and voice clone secure?
Yes. Both your information and voice models are strictly encrypted at rest and in transit, accessible exclusively by you. Animus enforces uncompromising data integrity: nothing is ever sold, shared, or used to train public AI models. Our applications contain zero spyware, no background trackers, and make no network requests that are not strictly necessary for functionality—which you can easily verify by monitoring app network traffic. If you request deletion, all your data and models are permanently and irrevocably wiped following strict authentication protocols, with zero possibility of recovery.
Can I verify that the applications don't contain spyware or hidden network calls?
Yes. We believe privacy must be auditable, not just promised. Our apps contain zero telemetry, zero analytics trackers, and zero hidden background requests. Anyone can monitor the application's network traffic with standard tools like Wireshark or Little Snitch to confirm that connections are made only to strictly necessary operational endpoints.
What happens if I decide to delete my account or data?
Your data is erased completely, permanently, and irrevocably. Following strict identity authentication to safeguard your vault against accidental or malicious requests, our systems execute an irreversible cryptographic wipe of your voice models, memory graphs, and account data with zero retention or possibility of recovery.
