The library.
Every source we use, linked. Read them yourself.
Every personality on Indiagram Conversations is grounded in public-domain writings. We don't make things up — we curate passages from real translations and feed them to the AI with instructions on voice and tone.
This is the complete library. If you want to verify what an AI has said in a chat, the original texts are always the authoritative version. Trust but verify.
