## Definition

Small pieces of established backstory used to build the fictional world and personality of an AI companion character, as discussed in the channel's material on crafting the Tolan companion.

In the captured material, **lore seeds** appear in the context of *Tolan*, an AI companion product whose creators discuss building a character people genuinely connect with [^259b88ca@100]. The conversation treats the companion's fictional world — its backstory and personality — as crafted material rather than an accident, which is where **lore seeds** fit: small pieces of established backstory that give the character depth [^259b88ca@197]. The same discussion emphasizes understanding the craft behind an AI companion people love, and lore seeds belong to that craft: part of the deliberate worldbuilding that makes the companion feel like a real being with a history [^259b88ca@133].
