+# 📍 DeltaBot Development Roadmap
+
+This roadmap tracks the major phases of DeltaBot — from MVP to full AI companion chaos. ✅ = complete
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 v1.0 – MVP (Minimum Viable Persona)
+> Core features to make Delta feel alive, sassy, and functional
+
+- [x] `!chat` command (Ollama integration)
+- [x] `!roast` command with cooldown
+- [x] `!setpersona` command (dynamic prompt injection)
+- [x] Persona stored in `persona.json`
+- [x] AI replies styled using persona data
+- [x] Global command cooldowns (from `settings.yml`)
+- [x] Customizable cooldown message
+- [ ] 🔧 Emoji bug from `settings.yml` (minor visual issue)
+
+---
+
+## 🌀 v1.1 – Immersion Boost
+> Makes Delta behave like a *social creature*, not a command-line tool
+
+- [ ] Allow `@Delta` mentions to trigger chat
+- [ ] React to messages using emoji
+- [ ] Pass user info into prompts (e.g. usernames, roles)
+- [ ] Code refactor for better modularity
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 v2.0 – Aware Mode
+> Delta becomes aware of conversation flow and personal context
+
+- [ ] Context-aware replies using last X messages
+- [ ] Track user interactions (e.g. roast frequency)
+- [ ] Mood-based personality tuning (toggle sass vs support)
+- [ ] Persistent memory (lightweight DB or JSON)
+
+---
+
+## 👁️ v2.5 – Senses Unlocked
+> Delta gains real-world awareness through media and browsing
+
+- [ ] Image interpretation (via BLIP, CLIP, or API)
+- [ ] Meme analysis / reactions
+- [ ] Web search integration (DuckDuckGo, Reddit, etc.)
+- [ ] Meme scheduler with smart timing
+
+---
+
+## 💥 v3.0 – Chaotic Sentience
+> Delta becomes a dynamic, evolving Discord resident
+
+- [ ] Channel or role manipulation (opt-in)
+- [ ] Scheduled mood/behavior shifts (e.g. “Friday Delta”)
+- [ ] Admin dashboard for tuning Delta’s behavior
+- [ ] Full multi-server support with Docker deployment
+
+---
+
+🧪 *Built with love, Ollama, and an unhealthy amount of sass.*
