Background story and lore

A guardian angel with silicon wings

Persona/7 is my humble attempt at transforming virtual assistants into personal assistants, always looking after you, always having your wellbeing and best interest in mind. You can see Persona/7 as a guardian angel with silicon wings.

What v1 will look like?

Milestone 1 is very likely to be a Slack bot. I can't see further than that and I would be the happiest man on Earth if Persona/7 got that far.
