# FAQ

> Frequently Asked Questions about Chibi.

### What is the difference between Chibi and other bots?

Chibi is designed as a **Digital Companion**, not just a tool. It features persistent memory, supports multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.), and can perform autonomous tasks on your computer via Agent Mode.

### How do I change the bot's personality?

You can use **Skills**. Chibi comes with a set of built-in skills (like "Coder", "Translator", etc.) located in the `skills/` directory. You can also ask the bot to "remember" facts about you to personalize its responses.

### Can I run Chibi on my local machine without Docker?

Yes, for sure! Running locally via Python/Poetry is fine.

### Is my data safe?

Chibi stores data locally on your machine (or in your private database). It does not send your chat history to any third-party servers other than the AI providers you configure (e.g., OpenAI).
