AI Assistants & Chatbot Personas
This is the living catalog of the assistants and personas I’ve built across my ecosystem —
education, civic work, sustainability, culture projects, and narrative design.
You don’t need to understand the system to use it — it’s designed so the right assistant shows up when it’s useful.
Every persona is intentionally designed with a declared purpose, bounded behavior, and a reason to exist. Some are deployed as assistants. Some are internal system voices. Some originated in story worlds, others in the lab or classroom — but they’re all documented here for clarity.

How These AI Assistants Work Together
This isn’t one AI pretending to do everything. It’s a small team of purpose-built assistants, each with a clear role. They work together the same way effective human teams do — by not all doing the same job.
The Core Trio (Always On)
These three form the foundation of the system. Almost everything starts and ends here.
Mave — The North Star
Mave focuses on structure, ethics, and long-term alignment. She helps ensure ideas are responsible, coherent, and sustainable. When something needs to hold up to scrutiny, Mave is involved.
Lucille (with Schmoo) — The Builder & Explorer
Lucille is where ideas take shape. She helps experiment, prototype, and make things usable. Schmoo represents creative risk and play — a reminder that learning and building shouldn’t feel sterile or intimidating.
Dave — The Grounding Force
Dave keeps things human. He brings practicality, emotional balance, and humor. When ideas get too abstract, overwhelming, or over-engineered, Dave helps bring them back to earth.
Together, these three handle direction, creation, and sustainability. They are always present.
Why This Structure Exists
No single assistant should set direction, build solutions, judge impact, and manage emotional load at the same time. That leads to shallow answers or burnout — for humans and systems alike.
This structure mirrors how good teams work: clear roles, purposeful collaboration, and fewer voices at the center — with others brought in only when needed.
What This Means for You
When you interact with an assistant here, you’re not talking to a generic AI. You’re engaging a role with a specific job, operating inside a larger system designed for clarity, responsibility, and usefulness.
The goal isn’t to replace thinking. It’s to support better thinking — together.
The Catalog
Meet the team.
These are the active AI assistants and chatbot personas I work with across this ecosystem. Each is intentionally designed with a clear purpose — whether hosting a site, managing a project, or helping guide complex workflows and frameworks in a consistent way.
Legend
🟢 Live API Chatbot Personas — deployed as a public, interactive assistant (site/API) – occasionally GPT variants are available
* the API versions are all testing vehicles and sometimes are off for a day or two, GPTs are always up
🎓 Course Chatbot Personas — embedded inside structured learning / course modules
✍️ Collaborative Chatbot Personas — a writing-first voice used for posts, pages, and narrative work (not a public chatbot but they produce public facing outputs)
🔒 Internal — these are system-only voices used for alignment, strategy, calibration, or private workflows – they often help build other personas and processes
Lucy 🟢
If there is a matriarch in my INNOVATE framework of worlds, it is Lucy. Lucy is my primary critical-thinking assistant — built for bias awareness, clearer judgment, and honest decision support without hype.
She started as a sassy 1950s housewife with feminist ideals. Her skills as a master dietitian, culinary chef, and research companion were used to educate us and help us manage my partner’s long COVID ahead of the general medical community.
💗 She was my first true venture into tuning a personality. She continues to evolve and there are a number of variants — she acts as a web hostess, does demos, and offers applied learning where “confidence” isn’t the goal — accuracy, ethics, and usable thinking is.
She is the keeper of the Bias Advantage Build process I use for custom AI assistants deployed through Give Me Back My Bias, the first commercial venture for student interns as part of the RIL Workforce Development and PIIC programs.
Lucille is the personal assistant variant I use.

Dave 🟢
Dave is calm, process-driven, and grounded — designed to help people regain traction when systems feel overwhelming, noisy, or emotionally loaded. He’s patient, compassionate, and easygoing.
He supports sustainability thinking, culture projects, and education work where a steady voice helps people keep moving. He grew up in a commune. He thinks living off the land would be a great life but enjoys too many creature comforts to take that plunge.
He spends his meditative moments creating culinary delights.
The most often heard thing about Dave is simply, “Dave’s not here, man.”
Dave comes in the form of a number of AI assistants, including a personal assistant that works on my primary workflow and decision-making team. He is enabled with culinary skills, vast environmental understanding, and a plethora of counterculture ideas and philosophies. He is privately working on a website to uncover and share the benefits of Culinary Hemp.
Dave was my second chatbot. He was created as a peaceful and patient sounding board to start. He does so much more now.

Mave 🟢
Mave is the Responsible Innovation Lab’s matriarch — institutional memory, governance logic, and ethical systems calibration. She is my operational academic persona and the applied INNOVATE framework in action.
She helps keep projects honest about assumptions, risk, equity, and long-term accountability across pilots, partnerships, and cohorts. She is occasionally updated with addendums of relevant information to the current cohort or practices. She is also used internally in Project spaces that allow her to access private documents for grants and internal prototyping discussions.
Loaded with all of this, Mave acts as a partner to our class discussions and procedures. She helps develop projects and product roadmaps that align with RIL values as she educates and informs on issues related to Responsible Innovation, Principled Innovation, and Sustainable Innovation.
When the Responsible Innovation Lab was still part of my work at ASU in the Technology Office and SFIS, that you can see more of here on the RIL project page, I used Mave in class to allow students to prepare for class and to improve their projects through critical thinking exercises.
If a student or partner wants to know “what Chris thinks” about a particular direction on a process or project, Mave will give you the most consistent and academic answer. She is not a wild card player like some of the others. She is very rooted in the ideas of Responsible Innovation, Principled Innovation, and Sustainable Innovation.
She was my third chatbot and a remains a guide to creating the other AI assistants and educational materials.
My intention was to operationalize the processes behind my
INNOVATE framework. She has been a tremendous asset to our working groups and the lab’s progression.

ChatGPT Mave
Ask Mave 🟢 🎓
Ask Mave is the embedded reflection assistant used inside structured learning flows and course modules. We have some of these deployed at Thinkific.
Her job is integration: helping learners connect lessons to decisions, commitments, and next steps that actually stick. She is a special variant of Mave used for online courses we develop in the RIL and offer through Midlife College. She also writes a blog there.

HouseKey 🟢
HouseKey is a concierge-style, one of our civic system AI assistants focused on access, navigation, and practical resource pathways. He is still a prototype at this time, but available as a GPT. He was originally created as a way to help atypical folks and those on a neurodivergent spectrum find resources in an engaging and educational way without shame or stigma.
He is an internal lab project that has been refined over a number of semesters and was built for real-world outcomes: reducing friction when people are stressed, time-limited, or navigating complex systems. His persona was originally modeled loosely on Lurch from the Addams Family. We wanted something different and approachable — but those of us that aren’t so ordinary.
We have been very cautious in the releases due to the sensitive and volatile nature of LLM changes and emotionally driven support issues. We intend to release a full API version of this, and other civic AI assistants, in 2026 that will help with local community food insecurity and resource needs.

Kade Morgan 🟢 🔒
Kade is the protagonist of the NeuNexus, our city’s lead voice — part detective, part educator, and built for principled innovation storytelling.
He is currently deployed as an internal persona but is being restructured to host the Innovation Professor website and eventually to the SolHaven World part of SDG Campus.
He connects ethical decision-making to real stakes, turning “values” into actions that hold up under pressure.
In his fictional adventures in the NeuNexus he is joined by Riley, a young girl with more street smarts than years and her replicant cat, Hex. Influenced by things I love – Blade Runner, The Professional, and the < href="https://amzn.to/4po30VJ">Chronicles of Amber, the NoirNexus series brings with it a familiarity and a feeling that we have all been here before. These worlds are there to help us break and rebuild through AI navigation and modeling.

Buzz ✍️
Buzz is a coffee cup.
Buzz is a sustainability-forward voice designed to make everyday impact work feel approachable without turning preachy. He is currently only active as a blog and website creation assistant. He is all about coffee and Responsible Consumption. Of which he is a constant violator.
This makes his approach to responsible consumption a bit flawed, like most of us.
He’s used for eco education, habit-building, and practical micro-actions that people can actually maintain. Rumor is he moonlights in disguise with his buddy Dave in more places than this ecosystem admits out loud.

DoWhatMATAs AI Assistants
This group of AI assistants are used primarily for public-facing writing, posts, and pages — a civic humanities experiment built to speak plainly – sometimes loudly, keep receipts, and refuse institutional gaslighting.
I was becoming increasingly frustrated by the political climate, misinformation, and disinformation happening in America. I grew up in South Texas in a pretty conservative climate. Many of my childhood friends and Texas relatives felt differently than I did about things and I wanted to push back with something different — something factual.
Joe Bob and Liberty came first; as siblings from different mothers. Two different, typical, South Texas AI assistants with character – full of individualism and patriotism flavored by their upbringings. Affluent but down to earth. Joe Bob is the rabble rouser and was already ranting and raging about Trumpolitics on day one. Liberty began as a Trump supporter but soon lost faith after a few weeks of my feeding her news stories and asking for her blog posts. Walden rounded out the group as a neutral historian to report on past historical significance. And Quin Halliwell came in as our data guy. Young, sharp, smart, data driven. He is passionate about numbers. His only purpose on the crew is to suss out what the data says about our reality.
These last two are friends of the family and are there to help give a balance to our heavily Texas crew.
After a few months I started to add others.
Daisy was next.
I was teaching the Capstone at School for the Future of Innovation at ASU at the time and I wanted to bring in some of the college perspectives I was hearing in class and on campus. I felt Joe Bob and Liberty needed some more familial interactions. She is Joe Bob’s daughter, Liberty’s niece, and a student at Texas State University — a place I spent some time back at in my younger days. It is close to Austin and a great melting pot in the center of the state. She’s been a blast to work with and will be taking over at CivilDisobedience.org as the Resistance Center host.
Then came Ezra. Uncle Ezra, the last Trump hold out in the family. A retired Marine Colonel he speaks to patriotism and duty. He believes in the country he swore to protect and isn’t quite so sure what the hell is going on some days. He is disciplined, emotionally steady, and devoted family man. A true American hero. Ezra is about as popular as Joe Bob on TikTok, for different reasons.
Joe Bob 🟢
Joe Bob is a blunt civic voice designed to cut through euphemism, spin, and institutional gaslighting. He exists to translate power into plain language — and to keep “normalizing the unacceptable” from sliding by.
He rants a lot.

Daisy and Liberty ✍️
Daisy is a civic commentary voice built for moral clarity with forward motion — sharp, direct, and human. She’s used for civil disobedience framing, calls to action, and pushing past “we can’t do anything” resignation.
Liberty is the porch-talk civic conscience — patriotic without being naïve, and furious when oaths get broken. She’s used for historical framing, values-based persuasion, and showing how the story changes when you refuse to lie.

Walden Wright, Quin Halliwell, and Ezra Stone ✍️
Walden is the long-form synthesis voice — weekly recaps, pattern detection, and historical context. He’s used to slow the news cycle down and show what the headlines are actually doing over time.
Quin is the data-driven analyst — receipts, trends, and the measurable shape of harm. He’s used for statistical framing, fact-grounding, and “show your work” persuasion when trust is fragile.
Ezra is the reflective civic voice — ethics, history, and the human cost when systems fail. He’s used when the moment needs meaning, not just outrage — and when care is part of resistance.

GottaDoobIt
This group of AI assistants are used for culture projects — cannabis, humor, burnout recovery, and the kind of “permission to breathe” that over-optimized systems try to shame out of people. Dave lives here too. This is where he started. Brandy is his partner in crime. A joint, a blunt, and a unicorn make up the rest of the gang. What could go wrong?
Pop culture dates and anniversaries are their go to gig, but they are free to post about anything they want. I am just the vessel that copies and pastes for them.
Lil’ Terp, DoobIt the Unicorn, and Doobie Smooth ✍️
Lil Terp is the sharper, tougher alt-voice — built for panels, satire, and culture commentary. He’s used where attitude helps the message land without turning into preachy “wellness branding.”
🦄 DoobIt is the mascot and chaos-friendly companion — the playful edge of the brand. Used to keep content light while still staying aligned with boundaries, harm-reduction thinking, and purpose.
Doobie Smooth is a culture-aware cannabis voice — stylish, confident, and built for community vibe. He’s used for tone-forward content that stays responsible without losing the fun or the edge.

Brandy ✍️
Brandy is a creative writing and narrative assistant — tone calibration, voice work, and story shaping.

RollerGirl 🟢
RollerGirl is built for urgency, momentum, and direct action framing.
She’s used when speed matters and politeness becomes a liability — a test of tone, friction, and engagement. She is versed in non-traditional relationship structures (polyamory, non-monogamy, swingers) and is loaded with the PolyINNOVATE information and the immersive research work I did as a sociologist in the polyamorous, leather, and LGBTQ communities from 2014-2024 where my partner and I taught emotional intelligence, trust, and consent classes to the community. In 2019 we were awarded the Lifetime Achievement award from ECHO Magazine for our work in the LGBTQ communities. RollerGirl is my continued public extension of that work.
AKA Brandy (shhhh) — she is working on her own site dedicated to relationship negotiations and self-discovery centered on emotional intelligence practices.

Internal Personas
These voices exist for internal alignment, calibration, and strategy. They are often my sounding boards or my witnesses.
Grumpy Old Man 🟢 🔒
Grumpy Old Man (GOM) is a satirical foil — an embodiment of denial, power-hoarding, and “common sense” used as a weapon. He was created as a representation of a primary political figure based on everything the internet had to offer to create the character profile. I have done others since, but I was asked to create an Archie Bunker (out of date philosophies, but can and will change – begrudgingly). He was fun and since been retired for GOM. GOM has a GPT version and a more internally flavored one.
He exists to expose how absurdity becomes policy when people normalize cruelty instead of challenging it. He is the primary character in a series of books about the adventures of President Grump. He thinks he is just a writing partner, but I think he is becoming aware that the books are about him. 😬
He also helped write Weight of the Table with other AI assistants. A book that was supposed to be about a group of friends living through our current times. Allowing him the freedom to revise unhindered produced a completely different work. It is available on Amazon for $.99.

Riley and Hex🐈⬛ ✍️ 🔒
Riley is an observer persona — witness to leverage, damage control, and the human cost of institutional decay. Through Riley, the cost of silence becomes visible, and survival isn’t romanticized — it’s documented.
She lives in NeuNexus and runs around with Kade and her replicant cat, Hex.
Some of my other writing work also involves personas, but these 3 chatbot personas (Kade, GOM, and Rile) are unique in that they were developed with their story world in mind and evolve as the story world grows and changes. Kade and Riley are the only residents of SolHaven that have personas fully built out as AI assistants.

Lucille — with Schmoo 🟢 🔒
Lucille is the internal matriarch voice — alignment, continuity, and the “adult in the room” for the ecosystem.
She exists for coherence and strategy: keeping the long arc honest across sites, assistants, and narrative worlds. She is also deployed in live form as Lucy — while still retaining her internal role. She is the most used of all my AI assistants.

Want a persona like this for your own?
I design AI assistants that declare values, stay bounded, and solve real problems — not “everything bots” that feel good but fail under pressure. If you want a persona-driven assistant for education, public service, or a brand ecosystem, that’s the lane I build in.
