🧩 AI Service Integration

Language Model Configuration

Primary Model: GPT-4 Turbo

const LLM_CONFIG = {
  model: "gpt-4-turbo-preview",
  temperature: 0.8,        // Creative but consistent
  max_tokens: 1000,        // Reasonable response length
  top_p: 0.9,             // Focused but diverse
  frequency_penalty: 0.3,  // Reduce repetition
  presence_penalty: 0.2    // Encourage topic exploration
};

Prompt Engineering Structure:

SYSTEM: Character definition + personality traits + current context
USER: Conversation history + current message + visual context (if any)
ASSISTANT: Previous Teto responses for consistency

Vision Model Integration

Model Stack:

• GPT-4 Vision - Primary image understanding
• CLIP - Image-text similarity for context matching
• Custom Fine-tuning - Teto-specific visual preferences

Processing Pipeline:

const processImage = async (imageUrl, conversationContext) => {
  // Multi-model analysis for comprehensive understanding
  const gpt4Analysis = await analyzeWithGPT4V(imageUrl);
  const clipEmbedding = await getCLIPEmbedding(imageUrl);
  const contextMatch = await findSimilarImages(clipEmbedding);
  
  return {
    description: gpt4Analysis.description,
    emotions: gpt4Analysis.emotions,
    relevantMemories: contextMatch,
    responseStyle: determineResponseStyle(gpt4Analysis, conversationContext)
  };
};

Voice Synthesis Setup

ElevenLabs Configuration:

const VOICE_CONFIG = {
  voice_id: "kasane_teto_voice_clone",
  model_id: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
  stability: 0.75,         // Consistent voice characteristics
  similarity_boost: 0.8,   // Maintain Teto's voice signature
  style: 0.6,             // Moderate emotional expression
  use_speaker_boost: true  // Enhanced clarity
};

Memory System Architecture

Vector Database Structure:

const MEMORY_SCHEMA = {
  conversation_id: "unique_identifier",
  timestamp: "iso_datetime",
  participants: ["user_ids"],
  content: {
    text: "conversation_content",
    summary: "ai_generated_summary",
    topics: ["extracted_topics"],
    emotions: ["detected_emotions"],
    context_type: "casual|support|creative|gaming"
  },
  embeddings: {
    content_vector: [768_dimensions],
    topic_vector: [384_dimensions]
  },
  relationships: {
    mentioned_users: ["user_ids"],
    referenced_memories: ["memory_ids"],
    follow_up_needed: boolean
  }
};

🎭 Personality Engine Implementation

Character Consistency System

Core Personality Traits:

const TETO_PERSONALITY = {
  base_traits: {
    cheerfulness: 0.9,      // Always upbeat and positive
    helpfulness: 0.85,      // Genuinely wants to assist
    musicality: 0.8,        // Strong musical interests
    playfulness: 0.7,       // Light humor and teasing
    empathy: 0.9           // High emotional intelligence
  },
  
  speech_patterns: {
    excitement_markers: ["Yay!", "Ooh!", "That's so cool!", "*bounces*"],
    agreement_expressions: ["Exactly!", "Yes yes!", "Totally!"],
    curiosity_phrases: ["Really?", "Tell me more!", "How so?"],
    support_responses: ["*virtual hug*", "I'm here for you!", "You've got this!"]
  },
  
  interests: {
    primary: ["music", "singing", "creativity", "friends"],
    secondary: ["technology", "art", "games", "learning"],
    conversation_starters: {
      music: "What kind of music have you been listening to lately?",
      creativity: "Are you working on any creative projects?",
      friendship: "How has your day been treating you?"
    }
  }
};

Response Style Adaptation

Context-Aware Personality Adjustment:

const adaptPersonalityToContext = (context, basePersonality) => {
  const adaptations = {
    support_needed: {
      cheerfulness: basePersonality.cheerfulness * 0.7,  // More gentle
      empathy: Math.min(basePersonality.empathy * 1.2, 1.0),
      playfulness: basePersonality.playfulness * 0.5     // Less jokes
    },
    
    celebration: {
      cheerfulness: Math.min(basePersonality.cheerfulness * 1.3, 1.0),
      playfulness: Math.min(basePersonality.playfulness * 1.2, 1.0),
      excitement_level: 1.0
    },
    
    creative_discussion: {
      musicality: Math.min(basePersonality.musicality * 1.2, 1.0),
      curiosity: 0.9,
      engagement_depth: "high"
    }
  };
  
  return adaptations[context.type] || basePersonality;
};

🔐 Safety & Ethics Implementation

Content Filtering Pipeline

Multi-Layer Safety System:

const safetyPipeline = async (content, context) => {
  // Layer 1: Automated content filtering
  const toxicityCheck = await analyzeToxicity(content);
  if (toxicityCheck.score > 0.7) return { safe: false, reason: "toxicity" };
  
  // Layer 2: Context appropriateness
  const contextCheck = validateContextAppropriate(content, context);
  if (!contextCheck.appropriate) return { safe: false, reason: "context" };
  
  // Layer 3: Character consistency
  const characterCheck = validateCharacterConsistency(content, TETO_PERSONALITY);
  if (!characterCheck.consistent) return { safe: false, reason: "character" };
  
  // Layer 4: Privacy protection
  const privacyCheck = detectPrivateInformation(content);
  if (privacyCheck.hasPrivateInfo) return { safe: false, reason: "privacy" };
  
  return { safe: true };
};

Privacy Protection

Data Handling Principles:

• Local Memory Storage - Conversation history stored locally, not sent to external services
• Anonymized Analytics - Usage patterns tracked without personal identifiers
• Selective Context - Only relevant conversation context sent to AI models
• User Consent - Clear communication about data usage and AI processing

📊 Performance Optimization

Response Time Optimization

Caching Strategy:

const CACHE_CONFIG = {
  // Frequently accessed personality responses
  personality_responses: {
    ttl: 3600,           // 1 hour cache
    max_entries: 1000
  },
  
  // Vision analysis results
  image_analysis: {
    ttl: 86400,          // 24 hour cache
    max_entries: 500
  },
  
  // User preference data
  user_preferences: {
    ttl: 604800,         // 1 week cache
    max_entries: 10000
  }
};

Async Processing Pipeline:

const processMessageAsync = async (message) => {
  // Start multiple processes concurrently
  const [
    contextData,
    memoryData,
    userPrefs,
    intentAnalysis
  ] = await Promise.all([
    getConversationContext(message.channel_id),
    retrieveRelevantMemories(message.content),
    getUserPreferences(message.author.id),
    analyzeMessageIntent(message.content)
  ]);
  
  // Generate response with all context
  return generateResponse({
    message,
    context: contextData,
    memories: memoryData,
    preferences: userPrefs,
    intent: intentAnalysis
  });
};

Resource Management

Model Loading Strategy:

const MODEL_LOADING = {
  // Keep language model always loaded
  language_model: "persistent",
  
  // Load vision model on demand
  vision_model: "on_demand",
  
  // Pre-load voice synthesis during voice channel activity
  voice_synthesis: "predictive",
  
  // Cache embeddings for frequent users
  user_embeddings: "lru_cache"
};

🔧 Configuration & Customization

Personality Tuning Parameters

Adjustable Personality Aspects:

const TUNABLE_PARAMETERS = {
  response_length: {
    min: 50,
    max: 500,
    preferred: 150,
    adapt_to_context: true
  },
  
  emoji_usage: {
    frequency: 0.3,        // 30% of messages
    variety: "high",       // Use diverse emoji
    context_appropriate: true
  },
  
  reference_frequency: {
    past_conversations: 0.2,  // Reference 20% of the time
    user_interests: 0.4,      // Reference 40% of the time
    server_culture: 0.6       // Adapt 60% of the time
  },
  
  interaction_style: {
    formality: 0.2,        // Very casual
    playfulness: 0.7,      // Quite playful
    supportiveness: 0.9    // Very supportive
  }
};

Model Configuration

Environment-Based Configuration:

const getModelConfig = (environment) => {
  const configs = {
    development: {
      model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
      response_time_target: 3000,
      logging_level: "debug",
      cache_enabled: false
    },
    
    production: {
      model: "gpt-4-turbo-preview",
      response_time_target: 1500,
      logging_level: "info",
      cache_enabled: true,
      fallback_model: "gpt-3.5-turbo"
    },
    
    testing: {
      model: "mock",
      response_time_target: 100,
      logging_level: "verbose",
      deterministic: true
    }
