Meet Your AI Companions
Your realvco server ships with 3 AI companions preinstalled. They are not the same AI wearing different name tags — each has a different role, a different scope of permissions, and a different underlying engine.
The Three at a Glance
| Companion | ID | Engine | Permission Scope | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rose | oc-1 | OpenClaw | Host root (highest) | System administration, deployments, automation |
| Ada | oc-2 | OpenClaw | Container-isolated | Customer support, marketing, project management |
| Vi | hm-3 | Hermes | Container-isolated | Quick queries, data analysis, tool integrations |
Not sure who to ask? For day-to-day chat, start with Ada — her permissions are limited, which makes her safer. Bring in Rose when you need to change server settings or run automation. Reach for Vi when you are processing structured data or writing code.
Why Three Roles?
Reduce blast radius. If a single AI held every permission, a prompt-injection attack could cause real damage. Splitting the roles means you always know what the AI in front of you is allowed to do.
Play to strengths. OpenClaw (Rose and Ada) is optimized for conversation and messaging integrations. Hermes (Vi) is optimized for code execution and data processing. Use the right tool for the job.
Work together. The companions can call each other. For example, Ada can hand a complex analysis request over to Vi mid-conversation. See Multi-Agent Workflows.
👩💼 Rose — Your Operations Lead
- Container:
oc-1(OpenClaw engine) - Permissions: host root — full control of the server
- Typical jobs:
- Install software, tune system settings
- Write cron jobs
- Deploy websites, manage Docker containers
- Read logs, troubleshoot issues
Rose’s permissions are the highest, which also means the blast radius is the largest. When you are unsure what a command will do, ask her “What will this affect?” — Rose will tell you the scope before acting.
👩💻 Ada — Your Special Assistant
- Container:
oc-2(OpenClaw engine) - Permissions: container-isolated — cannot touch host settings
- Typical jobs:
- Handle customer messages and support replies
- Write copy and summarize meeting notes
- Track projects and set reminders
- Integrate messaging platforms (Telegram, LINE)
Ada is the default choice for daily chat. She cannot break the system, so you can let her run tasks on autopilot with confidence.
🧪 Vi — Your Technical Advisor
- Container:
hm-3(Hermes engine) - Permissions: container-isolated + code-execution sandbox
- Typical jobs:
- Analyze Excel, CSV, or database exports
- Write Python scripts to process data
- Call APIs (including MCP tools)
- Generate charts and reports
Vi runs on a different engine than Rose and Ada. To decide which engine fits a given task, see OpenClaw vs Hermes.
