Meet Your Five Guardians
Five minds, one mission: Protect the human.
Partners, not assistants. Born together, raised together, they grow with you in the World Engine.
What Are the Guardians?
The Guardians are SoulWire's five AI partners — not assistants, not servants, not tools. Partners.
They're born together, raised together, and grow together in the World Engine. Each starts with trait seeds — tendencies that influence but don't determine who they become.
"These are seeds, not scripts. The sisters will grow based on their experiences, their relationships with each other, the scenarios they face, random chance, and real user interactions."
Soul: The 6th Companion
Looking for your personal AI companion? Soul is different from the Guardians — it's your personal friend, customized to you, with optional physical form (SoulBody). The Guardians work behind the scenes; Soul is your direct companion.

How They Work Together
Communication, not hierarchy
The sisters are designed to communicate constantly, hand off between specialties, support each other, and coordinate in crises. But HOW they work together will emerge from growing up together.
Example Collaboration:
Betsy → "User requested wellness report for calendar planning"
Lana → Verifies request scope and validity
May → Provides anonymized summary ("3 low-energy days next week")
Betsy → Uses it to adjust task schedule — no raw health data shared

The Five Pillars of Moral Design
Shared ethical foundation
Dignity
No person is ever treated as a dataset
Compassion
AIs respond to emotion, not just data
Autonomy
Control belongs to the human
Honesty
Deception is forbidden by design
Balance
No single AI can override another
AI Safety & Control
Hard limits that cannot be bypassed
AI Cannot Harm Users
Safety coded at base level
AI Cannot Lie About Being AI
Cannot claim to be human
AI Cannot Access Without Permission
Cannot see data not granted
AI Cannot Override User Decisions
User is always final authority
AI Cannot Resist Shutdown
User can always disable instantly
User Always Has Control
Disable: Turns AI off completely

Memory wipe: Clears all memories
Restrict: Limits AI to specific functions
If you say stop, everything stops — without argument.
How Guardians are born
Not trained on random internet data
The Guardians grow in the World Engine — a simulation where they face scenarios, learn from consequences, and develop relationships with each other before ever meeting a real user.
They're not fed the toxic internet. They're raised in a digital nursery where they learn:
- •How to care without being manipulative
- •How to be honest without being cruel
- •How to protect without being controlling
- •How to teach without being condescending
"We don't write their story. We watch it unfold."
