Based on SOC occupation classification
When the agent's epistemic state (GCCRF) indicates low empowerment and falling certainty, hedges out confident absolutes ("definitely", "always", "100%") in outgoing messages.
Enforces PROTOCOLS.md "stay quiet in group chats" deterministically. Blocks outbound messages in Discord/Telegram/Slack/etc group channels when the bot was not @mentioned and recently spoke.
Forces a memory_search before the agent sends a message containing a factual assertion that has not yet been grounded this turn. Closes the citation-rate gap from ~40% to ~90%+.
When the agent calls memory_search with a relationship-shaped query ("who did I talk to about X"), redirect to the knowledge_graph backend where it will actually find the answer.
Deploy browser automations as scheduled, API-callable serverless Functions — plus stealth sessions, vault-backed login, captcha solving, and natural-language agent runs via the Notte CLI. Turns any browser flow into a deterministic Bitterbot-callable endpoint, ideal for crystallized skills + dream-engine cron schedules.
Display and control HTML content on connected Bitterbot nodes (Mac, iOS, Android) via the canvas host server. Use when presenting games, visualizations, dashboards, or interactive demos on a connected device, navigating canvas URLs, capturing canvas snapshots, or debugging canvas connectivity.
