Hopekeeper, a chatbot for people inside

A chatbot built for people serving time. The YouTube description says it plainly: a prototype, still carrying bugs, and overall it works as intended. That is still true.

The name is the whole design brief. Someone inside has fewer people to talk to, less to read, and long stretches of nothing. Hopekeeper is a place to put a question at two in the morning and get an answer that does not judge the person asking.
