Kallamo docs
Kallamo is a local-first studio for roleplay and long-form writing. You bring the model; Kallamo brings everything around it: profiles that give the AI a voice and rules, a canon it reads before it answers, a retrieval engine that finds the right context, and a Narrative State that keeps a roleplay straight turn after turn.
How the pieces fit
Section titled “How the pieces fit”| Piece | What it does | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Connections | Where requests go: a provider with your key, or a model on your computer. | Settings |
| AI profiles | A voice: a model, rules, generation settings and a knowledge base. | Library |
| Workflows | Several profiles chained into one reply. | Library |
| Workspaces | One story each, with its chat, Writing Desk, Worldbuild, Memory and Files. | Launch screen |
| Worldbuild | The canon: characters, places, factions, items, the calendar and the rules. | Workspace |
| Memory | What the AI always carries, looks up when relevant, and remembers from older chat. | Workspace |
| Narrative State | What happened after every roleplay reply, and who knows it. | Workspace |
| AI roles | Kallamo’s own helpers that work behind the scenes. | Settings |
