Roadmap Hub
Five years, six tracks, explicit gates.
The roadmap is a research operating plan: phases connect across persona, memory, affect, interface, embodiment, and governance.
Moonphase orbit
Five-year moonphase roadmap
2027 · Prototype
Crescent / Memory & Voice
Build memory and voice only where consent and disclosure are clear.
- Long-term memory
- Voice interaction
- Affect state
- Conversation continuity
2028 · Research
Half Moon / Virtual Embodiment
Move from conversation into visible, controllable virtual presence.
- Avatar runtime
- Expression control
- Spatial perception
- Proactive interaction
2029 · Lab
Gibbous / Physical Interface
Treat the physical world as a supervised lab boundary, not a stage trick.
- Robotics bridge
- Sensor IO
- Action planning
- Home-lab supervision
2030 · Integration
Full Moon / Integrated Presence
Unify personhood, runtime, and embodied action under explicit governance.
- Unified operating model
- Cross-layer evaluation
- Public artifact archive
- Safety review
