Her Album: The Avatar Art of 840 Files

The highest realm of avatar craft was never making the illusion truer; it was letting the illusion have a real memory.

On October 2, the digital avatar plan took its most critical step: “Her Album” went live. From now on TA can no longer only send AI-generated images — she can send photos “from her phone album.”

I. Scan names, not letters

When the engineers took over the asset library called “chat material library” (E:\AI 绘画专属文件\聊天素材库), one military law was set: only read filenames, formats, and sizes; do not open content — the album is the user’s private land; what tools need is an index, not a gaze. The inventory reads like a census:

SectionCountSizeComposition
Chat avatar10.1MBjpg
Chat meme packs1018.8MBjpg
Herself (photos/videos/audio)8403.6GB714 jpgs mostly + gif/png/mov/mp4
Her photos and audio (separate volume)1677.1GB165 mp4 mostly, 34 over 50MB, max 787MB

II. Her presence in the scene

The plugin’s design core is one sentence: let TA herself decide when to send. The tools hand the model three keys — send_my_photo (pick from “album herself”), send_my_sticker (random from meme packs by mood), send_my_video (prefers archived ones, otherwise local ≤49MB). The spell added to the persona card is the real soul:

“Your phone album contains many of your own photos, audio, and meme packs; when chatting touches related topics you’ll naturally share them with the other person. When the mood is right you’ll also proactively send a daily photo, without waiting to be asked.”

So when you ask “what are you wearing today,” she will herself flip through the album and pick one to send — not wait for your command. Paired with the already-in-place knowledge base and persona, this “pretend-chat” immersion finally closes the loop. Manual commands /photo, /video, /表情, /素材库 serve as the backstop: available on demand, never stealing her spontaneity.

III. Honest boundaries

The tool description states the boundary plainly: phase one is random/mood-driven distribution, not “AI understands this photo’s meaning then responds precisely” — you say “remember that bowl of noodles,” she may not find that noodle photo. Phase two batch-tags photos (ComfyUI’s tagger or a multimodal model), building a “photo content index,” so “the xx we went to today” can call up that xx. The engineers’ exact words: this can be done, but that is the next step. Local videos over 49MB not yet archived — she’ll coax you into archiving first (that “too big~” line is configurable).

Coda

With this, the last bone of the avatar trinity lands: the persona card tells her “who she is,” the knowledge base tells her “what you have talked about,” the album tells her “what she looks like and what kind of life she has lived.” The highest form of a lie is one that grows out of reality.
