Question 1

Is this really them?

Accepted Answer

No. It's an AI version of them, built only from what they chose to share — not a recording, and not the person themselves. Every answer is labelled Known, Inferred or Unknown, so you always know whether it's something they actually said or the AI's best guess.

Question 2

Can I trust the answers?

Accepted Answer

Known answers come straight from their memories and words. Inferred ones are reasoned from their views but flagged as such. If it can't know, it says so instead of inventing.

Question 3

What does it know about the person?

Accepted Answer

Only what they added: interview answers, memories, opinions and documents they uploaded. Nothing is scraped from the web or taken from other people.

Question 4

Who controls the AI?

Accepted Answer

The person it represents — or an authorised owner. They can edit memories, amend any reply, set privacy, and take it offline at any time.

Question 5

Is my data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Documents, photos, memories and interview answers are kept private, stored under your account and used only to answer questions on your own AI. They are never sold. Each visitor's conversation is private to them, and memories marked private stay out of replies. Full detail is on the privacy and data page.

Question 6

Is this only for when someone dies?

Accepted Answer

No. Most people use theirs while they're here — to share expertise, tell their story, or mess about with friends. Legacy Mode exists for the family case: it lets the AI keep answering once an authorised owner verifies and enables it, and the system never decides that on its own.

Question 7

Can it speak or appear on video?

Accepted Answer

Replies can be read aloud, and on the Voice plan they can be spoken in the person's own cloned voice. Talking video is coming soon.

Question 8

How do I make my own?

Accepted Answer

Sign up, answer the guided interview, add documents and photos whenever you like, then publish your link. There's no schedule to keep: come back any time and the interview carries on from where you stopped.

Question 9

What can I add over time?

Accepted Answer

Anything about a life: memories, diary entries, opinions, photos and documents about yourself. The AI draws on all of it — so anyone you share your link with can ask a question and get an answer in your voice.

Question 10

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Four kinds of people, mostly overlapping: families keeping a parent's or grandparent's stories askable; professionals making years of know-how available to colleagues, clients or students; anyone who wants to tell their own story and be questioned on it; and people making one for fun to share with friends. It isn't for you if you want an AI of someone who hasn't agreed to it, or if you're looking for grief counselling. You need to be 18 or over to create one.
