HOW THE AI THINKS
ENGINES
☁️ CLOUD
Live Gemini AI — generates a unique response every time. Slowest, smartest.
🧠 LOCAL
Ollama LLM running on your machine — fast, private, offline-capable.
🧠 DICT
Dictionary fallback — instant responses from a curated + learned memory bank.
DICT LEVELS — HOW DEEP THE MEMORY IS
L1
Built-in knowledge. Hand-crafted responses written into this movie's brain at creation. Always available, even on first load.
L2
Learned from Cloud. A response Gemini generated in a past session that was saved to memory. The AI is drawing on something it was taught.
L3
Promoted memory. A cloud-learned response that has been reused and scored highly — it has become part of the AI's permanent character for this film.
INTENT ROUTING — WHAT THE AI DETECTED
THEME
You asked about the story, mood, or visual world of the film.
QUOTE
You asked for a line, quote, or specific character dialogue.
REFERENCE
You asked about influences, connections, or what inspired the film.
GENERAL
Open conversation — greetings, reactions, anything outside a specific category.
VISION
👁 VISION
The AI was sent the current video frame alongside your message — it could see the film when it answered.
AUDIO
🔊 AUDIO
The AI was sent the last ~5 s of film audio alongside your message — it could hear what was playing when it answered.
The AI always tries CLOUD first. If cloud times out or is unavailable, it falls back through LOCAL → DICT, using the deepest level it can find. 👁 appears when Cloud received a live frame; 🔊 appears when Cloud received live audio.
