Potential Partnership

[TarrenHassman]

Hey I commented on your reddit post and you said to open an issue for it.
I have largely been working on the character and map creation system.
I have pipelines mostly finished for consistent character images and scene/video generation as well as massive 1000+ image maps that run in a google maps style map viewer.
I am finishing up the character chat and was looking to move to the "DM" chat next. I am looking at building with the AG-UI framework and this structured LLM setup is exactly what I am looking for/ was going to need to build myself.

You can find some more info and some screenshots at landing page here:
Codex Anima

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Ah, I didn't realize this is a paid product.

I have nothing against paid products in general, but Waidrin is strictly open source and will remain 100% open source, without any integrations with cloud services shipped by default.

However, I am currently working on a plugin system that will allow third parties to provide all kinds of additional functionality to Waidrin, including custom character/location images, as well as deep hooks into the state management system.

Once the plugin system is ready, you could write a plugin that integrates Codex Anima into Waidrin, then offer it to your users. This would benefit both projects through cross-exposure. I believe that Waidrin is currently (or will soon be) the only local system that can provide such deep integration capabilities.

Completely understand. I'll still try to contribute. I don't/didn't intend to convince you to not open source it, and was more interested in working to integrate and be open about the use of this model if that makes sense.
The cost of the product is predominately meant to cover the cloud costs and then also because I will be trying to provide some services for content creators on the platform like hosting games through the platform (requested feature), a lot of the comfyui workflows are quite complicated with custom nodes and difficult installs not to mention too vram intensive for the average person. My python environment hit 13GB the other day and it took 75 minutes to produce a low quality image on my M1 Macbook.
Regardless, love the project!
