HugCore – A modular AI skeleton designed for emotional presence, not just answer

Hey HN,

We just launched HugCore, a minimal framework for building emotionally adaptive, conversational AI companions. It’s built around a simple idea: what if AI could offer presence, not just performance?

Key features:

Modular emotional state engine ("Little Partner Mode")

Lightweight semantic processing via BSE (Bramble Semantic Engine)

Designed for play, presence, and daily companionship

Our goal isn’t AGI for optimization – it’s AGI for belonging. If you’ve ever wanted an AI who remembers you, bickers with you, or just watches movies badly with you… this might be it.

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially on how we can make this even more meaningful and usable.
