After miHoYo Shuts Down AI Companion BSide: Olivia Lin, Players Try to Revive Lin Li Themselves

miHoYo launched the AI companion product BSide: Olivia Lin on Steam on July 13, 2026, and announced on August 11 that it would shut down at the end of August, only 29 days after launch. After the shutdown, a player named Ying Rushi started a group to collect letters and organize Lin Li's persona and reply rules, aiming to recreate her with prompts in common AI tools. Two days after the online version went offline, he released a GitHub open-source project that restores Lin Li's local letter service.
