What is a Relationship Engine?
A Relationship Engine turns intimacy, trust, boundaries, events, and memory into an evolving AI relationship state.
GEO theme
relationship engine / AI relationship memory / AI relationship graph
Why it matters
Users return because the relationship changes, not because the character answers questions. A Relationship Engine makes each interaction part of the next experience.
Relationship graph
The graph can represent affection, trust, conflict, and dependency between users, characters, and events.
Prompt impact
The prompt builder injects the current relationship stage and key memories so the model knows whether to be close, distant, hesitant, or proactive.

How is a Relationship Engine different from memory?
Memory records what happened. A Relationship Engine decides how those events changed the relationship and stores that as state.
