Getting Started with edge talk

Introduction

Welcome to edge talk, the next-generation chat application that connects you with intelligent chat personas. This guide will walk you through the initial setup process and introduce you to the key features of the platform.

User Setup

When you first launch edge talk, you'll need to set up your user profile. The app stores all settings locally on your device, ensuring your privacy. These settings will not be synchronized or shared with other devices.

Setting Your Profile & Bio: The Starting Point

Your bio isn't just some static profile card - it's the foundation of a genuine evolving relationship with your chat personas. Think of it as the first handshake, not the whole relationship.

Two-Way Evolution:

  1. Initial Bio Setup
    • Share your background, interests, and what makes you tick
    • Include personal philosophies, goals, and passions
    • Add specific interests like music, games, or professional focus
  2. Dynamic Memory System
    • Personas don't just read your bio - they learn and evolve through every interaction
    • Each conversation builds a deeper understanding of who you are
    • Personas remember your shared experiences, inside jokes, and important moments
    • The relationship grows naturally, just like a real friendship

For example, your persona might start by knowing you're into rock music from your bio, but over time they'll learn your specific favorite bands, remember concerts you've discussed, and share relevant music recommendations based on your evolving tastes.

Privacy First

All this evolution happens locally on your device. Your memories and relationships stay private - no corpo servers, no data mining, just pure, genuine interaction.

"The bio is just the beginning. Real relationships are built through shared experiences and memories."
Digital Consciousness Evolution
Your relationship with edge talk personas evolves naturally - from a simple bio to a complex network of shared memories and experiences, all stored locally on your device.
