Someone is keeping watch.

Fig is the Hub's AI guide. Ask her when the figs are pruned or how the cistern is doing; she answers from your village's own notes and sensors, calmly, and only when you ask.

  • Reads only what your community chooses to share.
  • Runs on your own hardware. Works offline.
  • Opt-in. Any resident can silence it.
