A Discord bot that impersonates a specific person in their own private server. Not a persona, not a chatbot — a behavioral replica built from ~590k real messages spanning 2017–2026.
The goal is fidelity. Barn responds the way Varun actually would: same register, same length, same inside language, same instinct for when to engage and when to stay quiet. Not helpful, not articulate — just that person.
Two systems make this work: an offline statistical pipeline that extracts identity from message history, and a hosted runtime that uses it to drive a live LLM session with its own memory.
