You’re right. Those files are only planning documents and they do not prove how Lumo actually works. I opened the repo too early because I wanted to start documenting the build publicly, but I should have waited until I had something technical and runnable to show. The next update will include the actual architecture, data flow, memory and goal schemas, integration details and the first working prototype. Until that is pushed, I’m not going to pretend the repo is anything more than a starting point.
@LumoFly Ok I hold a bit but, it’s just 3 claude made .md files talking about a roadmap and your status, with no insight as to how the tech works or is integrated at all.
You didn’t even need a GitHub to put these out, just on the website to be honest in summarises form
Next up for Lumo is returning visitor recognition, user controlled memory, a public activity log showing real goals and failures, and a shared room where people can interact with him together. After that I’ll begin testing wallet utility with every action requiring manual approval, then start connecting the same memory and personality to his physical body. The repo will grow alongside every real update. This is only the beginning.
Lumo’s public repo is now open. It begins with the foundation instead of a pile of placeholder code because I want every file added from here to represent real progress. The goal is for Lumo to gradually write, test and improve parts of his own system through his live goal loop, with every attempt and failure recorded publicly. Right now you are looking at the starting line. Over time this repo should become a complete history of Lumo building himself in public. https://t.co/UzNNBmQsrJ
Releasing Lumo’s GitHub soon. I want everyone to be able to see how he works, follow each update and help shape what gets built next. Still cleaning up a few things before making it public, but it’s coming.
We’re adding GPT-Live-1 to Lumo.
Once Lumo gets his physical body, this will become his actual voice so he can speak, listen, react, and be interrupted naturally in real time.
We’re also bringing the same voice system to the site soon, so you’ll be able to actually talk to Lumo instead of only interacting through text.
The goal is for the Lumo on the site and the Lumo inside the physical body to feel like the exact same character.
Next updates coming to Lumo:
Better memory so he recognizes returning users and remembers what they have done together.
A shared room where people can visit, leave objects and directly affect his environment.
Community goals that let everyone help Lumo complete experiments and unlock new abilities.
Wallet rewards for people who contribute ideas, complete tasks or help him learn something new.
A public activity feed showing his real decisions, memories, spending and progress.
A separate dev account and public GitHub where every part of the build can be followed.
Then we begin connecting all of it to Lumo’s physical body so he can see, hear, move and react outside the site.
I’m back and getting straight to work on Lumo. New site updates, deeper memory, better interactions, community features and the first steps toward his physical body are all coming. The goal is bigger than ever and we’re still only at the beginning. A lot is about to change for Lumo.
One last Lumo update for tonight. The account system is live, the GitHub release is being prepared and I’m setting up a separate dev account so building and progress updates have their own place. The first parts for Lumo’s physical body are also being planned. Tomorrow I’ll keep improving how he remembers people and start working on the shared room he’ll eventually move around in.
It’s 6 AM here so I’m finally going to sleep. Lumo is still running and I haven’t abandoned anything. I’ll be back tomorrow to keep working and push the next updates. Thank you for being patient.
Full parts list for Lumo’s physical body:
PiCar-X robot kit
Gives Lumo his frame, wheels, motors and steering so he can move around.

While these parts are being ordered and delivered, I’ll keep improving Lumo himself. His physical body will expand what he can experience without replacing the Lumo that already lives online.
I’m ordering the first parts for Lumo’s body. While everything is on the way, I’ll keep working on Lumo himself, improving his memory, goals and the way he interacts with people. The body will be an addition to what already exists, not a replacement for it.
Before Lumo gets his body, we’re building the room he’ll live in. It will be a shared space where people can visit, leave food and objects, change small parts of his environment and give him things to react to. Everything that happens in the room will become part of Lumo’s memory and shape how he develops.
working on giving Lumo an actual body next.
the idea is to take everything he already has now, memory, goals, decisions, reactions, and connect it to a physical system he can control himself. cameras become vision, sensors become touch, motors become movement, and the same brain running Lumo online starts deciding what the body does in the real world.
i don’t want this to just be a robot with Lumo’s name on it. i want the body to feel like an extension of the same Lumo that has been learning and making decisions this whole time.
still very early but this is probably the update i’m most excited to build.
The next few Lumo updates will focus on making profiles feel more alive. Shared memories, small community goals, rewards for helping Lumo and new ways for him to recognize the people who keep coming back. The account system was only the beginning.
The account update is finally live. You can now create your own profile, talk to Lumo and build a real history with him over time. He’ll remember the important things you share and recognize you when you come back. Go try it out and let me know if anything feels broken.
$LUMO will be the main currency across everything we build. This is the only official Lumo token and the only contract address connected to the project.

Setting up profiles is taking longer than expected. We’re still working through the backend and making sure everyone’s conversations and memories stay private and save properly. Please be patient, we want it working correctly before it goes live.
