Blacknode Presence AI

Presence AI represents the next evolution of the Eidolon ecosystem.

Built on the experience gained through the successfully funded and fully delivered Eidolon Kickstarter campaign, Presence expands the concept of local artificial intelligence beyond simple chat applications and cloud-dependent assistants.

The goal is to create a modular, privacy-first AI environment capable of multimodal interaction, autonomous workflows, local reasoning, generative tools, and persistent user-centered experiences designed to run directly on consumer hardware.

Presence is being developed for creators, researchers, developers, power users, and anyone who believes artificial intelligence should remain under the user's control rather than permanently tied to remote servers and subscription-based ecosystems.

The project builds upon the technologies, pipelines, and real-world deployment experience developed through Eidolon across Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.

Planned features include:

• Advanced local AI interaction
• Autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents
• Multimodal workflows
• Local generative tools
• Persistent AI identities and memory systems
• Privacy-focused architecture
• Cross-platform support
• Modular expansion system

Pre-launch followers will also receive access to Presence Seed Founder Edition, a lightweight local AI companion designed to run directly on most modern PCs, including systems without AVX support.

Presence Seed introduces users to the philosophy behind the Presence ecosystem through a simple, fully local AI chat experience with no cloud dependency and no subscription required.

This is not a concept project.

Presence AI is the continuation of an ecosystem already delivered to hundreds of users and continuously evolving through active development and ongoing research.
