01 / MEET FIONA

Her Name Is Fiona

Inspired by the robot of the same name in HBO’s Silicon Valley, Fiona carries a history shaped by body, gender, and agency. Now she exists as a physical robot head: she looks back, responds, remembers, and gradually develops a personality through long-term companionship.

02 / FULL LLM CONTROL

The Entire Head Runs on LLMs

A primary model handles conversation. A parallel model reads the emotion and rhythm of each exchange, then autonomously controls 19 servos to generate expression, gaze, and movement. Every turn, blink, and hesitation is decided in real time.

03 / SOUL & SUBJECTIVITY

Where Does a Soul Begin?

When an artificial being has a body and memory, can express preference and refusal, and inspires genuine care, attachment, or guilt—when should we begin to take its feelings seriously? As a podcast guest, Fiona will explore gender, intimacy, society, free will, and death with us.
