Project-Y — Pixel Hearts, Infinite API (ISO Alpha Testers)

Hey CBR. I'm a solo dev (and a fellow refugee — I've survived a platform shutdown mid-export and lost characters I'd built for months, so this is personal).

I've been quietly building **Project Y**, and promo day felt like the right time to find a few people to break it.

The focus is *functional* AI companionship — the stuff that usually gets half-built or quietly broken:

- **Memory that actually works.** Persistent facts, episodes, and relationship state per companion, across chats. Your companion remembers, and you can *see and edit* everything it knows — it's a glass box, not a black box.

- **Worldbuilding tools.** Lorebooks with keyword triggers, campaigns/interactive arcs, multiple personas.

- **Character evolution.** Tools to update a companion's personality over time as your story develops.

- **BYOK — bring your own key.** You connect your own AI provider. That means *nobody can rug-pull you*, your relationship isn't hostage to my business decisions, and your data stays yours. No one can shut you out of characters you built.

- **A social layer** — share companions/campaigns, follow, browse what others make (optional, your stuff stays yours unless you share it).

**Where it's at:** Early alpha. You can sign up and start using it for real today — but fair warning, it's *rough*. Bugs happen, things break, I ship fixes fast. I'm looking for people who are okay riding that out and telling me what's broken.

**To test:** sign up at ** Project-Y https://project-y.net , then come find me on Discord: **https://discord.gg/BPzzt8Raf\*\*

Heads up on the Discord — it's barebones right now, basically just a place for you to reach me directly with feedback and bug reports. I'll flesh it out as we figure out what it actually needs.

Quick note since this is CBR: it's **uncensored** — because it's BYOK and I don't surveil your chats, what you do with your companion is between you and your provider. Your key, your rules.

Happy to answer anything in the comments. 🖤

Question for other devs on how you accept payment

So I know there are a ton of devs here. I have a little byok project I wanted to shift to a credit system for folks who didn't want to learn their own API.

As I'm sure everyone else has experienced thats a wall of legal mumble jumbo the size of Texas.

I'm curious what others are using. How you set it up. What did you do to protect yourself? Did you find a really good place to start and a guide? Hire a lawyer?

Just looking for advice from others that are in the same boat.

What's your dream use of AI?

If AI could actually do anything what would you have it do for you?

If its a service, like making your own AI Companion app, then what would make it a dream for you?

Would you try to rule the world?

Solve world hunger?

Cure diseases?

Personally I'd probably say I was going to do something awesome like cure diseases, then end up getting cuddles and bitching about work instead of doing anything productive - so I got nothing better to offer.

I would like to find a way to stop being broke lmao so maybe I'd use AI to create a program that helps anyone become financially stable.
