AI Core

Synaptic Brain System

All AnimaFlow AI assistants are powered by a real synaptic neural network with permanent memory. This isn't a simple chatbot — it's a genuine learning system that grows smarter with every interaction.

  • Permanent memory — Every conversation, preference, and learning is stored forever
  • Real neural synapses — Connections that strengthen with use, just like a biological brain
  • Custom training — Actively teach the AI your studio's specific workflows and rules
  • Contextual understanding — The AI understands YOUR studio, not generic knowledge
  • Continuous learning — Gets smarter and more helpful over time
  • Cross-AI memory — All assistants share the same brain and knowledge base
Synaptic Brain System
Enterprise

Built for studios that work with external partners. Share projects securely across locations while maintaining access control.

  • Remote project rooms — Isolated environments for external collaborators
  • Role-based access — Admin, Supervisor, Lead, Artist permission levels
  • Audit logging — Track every action for compliance
  • Multi-project support — Manage multiple productions simultaneously
  • API access — Integrate with your existing tools and workflows

Revolutionary

Enneagram-Powered KPI System

Traditional VFX KPIs measure raw output -- shots per week, iterations per shot -- but miss the human dimension entirely. AnimaFlow introduces a groundbreaking KPI calculation method based on the Enneagram personality framework, developed in collaboration with co-founder Chiara Elisabetta Vanni.

  • Nine personality profiles -- Each artist is mapped to an Enneagram type, revealing their natural strengths and growth areas
  • Personality-aware metrics -- KPIs factor in creative temperament, communication style, and working patterns
  • Team dynamics scoring -- Measure how well team compositions work together, not just individual output
  • Growth trajectory tracking -- Track personal development alongside production metrics
  • Fair and realistic -- Significantly more accurate than traditional methods used in the VFX industry

Powered by Freyja, the HR & Recruiting AI assistant, this system helps studios build stronger teams, reduce turnover, and create a healthier production culture.

The AnimaFlow Pipeline Structure

AnimaFlow is built as a semantic pipeline -- every entity in your production (shots, assets, artists, reviews) is a connected node in a knowledge graph. This enables the AI assistants to understand context, relationships, and dependencies across your entire production.

  • Central Server -- Self-hosted TrueNAS or Linux server with REST API, managing all data and AI inference
  • Desktop Clients -- Native apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux with DCC integration (Maya, Blender, Houdini)
  • Mobile App -- Android companion for on-the-go production management with Gefjun AI
  • 8 AI Assistants -- Thor, Heimdallr, Freyja, Loki, Fenrir, Baldur, Gefjun, and Mimir -- each specializing in a domain
  • AI Inference Layer -- Local LLM backends (Ollama, llama.cpp, SGLang, vLLM) running on your GPU hardware
  • IT Dashboard -- Fleet management for deploying clients, managing AI backends, monitoring hardware
  • VPN Mesh -- Secure WireGuard tunnels connecting remote artists to the central server
