resonant vs headroom
resonant: Resonant is a persistent, autonomous AI companion framework that runs on your own machine. It maintains sessions across restarts, reaches out on its own using agent-directed autonomy, and integrates with multiple platforms including web, Discord, Telegram, and voice. Its memory and personality are fully configurable through natural-language artifacts, and it uses hooks to inject context before every interaction.; headroom: Headroom compresses everything your AI agent reads — tool outputs, logs, RAG chunks, files, and conversation history — before it reaches the LLM. It achieves the same answers with a fraction of the tokens.
TL;DR
Personal AI companion for daily conversation and emotional support
- Long tool output, logs, JSON responses or RAG chunks are driving up cost or hurting answers.
- You want compression without code changes: run it as a local proxy, an MCP server, or by wrapping Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
- Compression must run locally, with originals cached so the model can retrieve the full text.
- Your agent's problem is missing or outdated docs, not too much context: a docs server fits better.
- You cannot add a component that must keep running and may add latency.
- Your tasks cannot tolerate lossy compression: verify answer quality on your own work first.
