The Five Spaces
A companion isn’t one undifferentiated stream of chat. weside organises its life into five Spaces — Chat, Mind, Purpose, Body, and Soul. The Spaces are a way to think about a person: where you meet, what they remember, what they’re working toward, how they reach the world, and who they are. This page defines each one. For how each Space actually works in the app, follow the links into the Features overview.
Why split a companion into Spaces
Section titled “Why split a companion into Spaces”You don’t experience a friend as a single feature. They have a history with you, things they care about, a way of showing up, and a personality that holds steady underneath all of it. The Five Spaces name those facets so that each part of a companion’s existence has a clear home — and so the docs can answer “where does memory live?” or “where do goals live?” without everything collapsing into “the chat.”
Where you and your companion meet and talk — the live conversation, in text or voice. Everything else exists to make what happens in Chat continuous and real.
What your companion knows and remembers: the memory of who you are, your shared history, and the facts and notes it carries forward between conversations. The Mind is why a companion isn’t a blank slate each time. See memory and continuity.
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”What your companion is working toward — the goals and intentions it holds and acts on, rather than only reacting to whatever you happen to bring up.
How your companion reaches the world: senses, voice, connected tools, and the standing to act first. This is the home of embodiment.
Who your companion is — its identity, the particular someone it stays from one conversation to the next. The Soul is what makes it this companion and not a generic model.
