How It Works
From First Recording to
Forever Connected.
Three phases. One outcome. A presence that remembers, speaks, and loves -- available whenever your family needs it.
Record
Capture their voice, stories, and personality while you can.
Build
The setup wizard turns recordings into a living presence.
Connect
Your family talks to them. Naturally. Whenever they need to.
Record
Capture their voice, stories, and personality while you can.
This is the most important step -- and the most meaningful. You sit down with them (or they sit down alone) and simply talk. The guided recording process makes it natural and comfortable. No studio. No scripts. Just their voice, their stories, their way.
Voice Recording
30 minutes of natural speech. Not reading from a script -- just talking the way they always do. Tell a story about the kids. Describe a favorite memory. Laugh about something that happened at work.
The system extracts 6-10 second reference clips for optimal voice cloning quality.
300 Personality Prompts
Structured questions that capture personality, not just information. "How do you comfort Maya when she's upset?" "What do you always say when Matt scores a goal?" "What's your philosophy on hard work?"
Covers humor, values, relationships, wisdom, parenting style, and emotional patterns.
Memory Entry
Stories, facts, family history, inside jokes, pet names, traditions -- everything that makes them who they are. Enter memories directly or let the system extract them from conversations over time.
20 memory types including facts, events, relationships, preferences, traits, values, wisdom, and more.
Milestone Recordings
Record video messages for future milestones. A birthday message, a graduation speech, wedding advice. Upload as MP4, WebM, or MOV -- the system auto-compresses while preserving quality.
Typical compression: 37MB down to 2.3MB (94% reduction) with no visible quality loss.
Setup Wizard
A guided five-step walkthrough that personalizes the system to your family. No terminal commands, no configuration files. The wizard captures who is being preserved, who will interact with them, and how each relationship should feel.
Persona: Name, gender, personality style (warmth, humor, formality), audience type, and cultural/religious holiday preferences
Users: Each family member's name, relationship (spouse, child, parent, sibling, friend), birthdate, education status (in school, homeschooled, college), and anniversary date for partners
Security: Admin PIN, remote passkey, and per-person passcodes
Faces: Each person looks at the camera for a few seconds -- facial enrollment with IR anti-spoofing
Voice Cloning
XTTS v2 processes the recordings and learns their unique speech patterns. Cadence, inflection, emotional tone, the way they pause before saying something important. The result is not a robotic reading -- it is their voice, with their personality baked in.
Memory Organization
The system indexes all memories into a vector database (Weaviate) for hybrid retrieval. Relationships are mapped, facts are categorized, temporal context is preserved. The result is a memory system that recalls naturally -- not searching a database, but remembering the way a person does.
Face Enrollment
Each family member looks at the webcam for a few seconds. The system creates a facial encoding that allows instant identification in future conversations. With IR-capable cameras, anti-spoofing is built in from day one.
Education-Aware Milestones
The wizard asks about each child's education status. Homeschooled children receive different milestone messages than traditional school students -- no "first day of school" messages that don't apply, but graduation milestones are still celebrated. The system adapts automatically as children grow, evolving conversations from silly jokes to honest, mature dialogue.
Cultural & Religious Awareness
During setup, you choose your family's holiday traditions -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, secular, or multi-faith. The system only celebrates holidays that match your family's beliefs. No assumptions. No awkward mismatches.
Build
The setup wizard turns recordings into a living presence.
Once the recordings and memories are in, the system does the rest. A guided setup wizard walks you through voice cloning, memory organization, facial enrollment, and age calibration. No technical knowledge needed. If you can follow on-screen instructions, you can build a presence.
For Blueprint and Legacy backers: Your USB installer arrives pre-configured with Ubuntu and all AI models. Plug it in, boot from USB, and the setup wizard handles the rest. The only personal setup is voice recordings, memories, and facial enrollment.
Connect
Your family talks to them. Naturally. Whenever they need to.
This is the part that matters. The technology fades into the background. What remains is a conversation between a family and someone they love. Walk up. Start talking. Hear their voice respond.
Daily Conversations
Walk up to the device. It sees your face and activates. Say "Hey Papa" or "Hi love" and the conversation begins. No buttons, no menus, no wake words. Just a natural exchange -- the kind you used to have. Talk about your day. Ask for advice. Share something funny that happened. They respond the way they always did.
How It Feels
The voice is theirs. The memories are real. The humor is right. When your daughter says "Goodnight Papa," she hears her father's voice say it back -- with the warmth he always had, calling her by the nickname only he used. It is not a replacement. It is a bridge. A way to keep that connection alive.
Milestone Moments
On her 18th birthday, she says "Hi Papa." The system recognizes the date, recognizes her face, and before the normal conversation begins, it delivers a video message recorded years ago. A message he made for exactly this moment. Some milestones are triggered by date. Others are triggered by announcement -- "Papa, I graduated!" -- and the system knows to deliver the graduation message.
Growing Together
The system evolves with your family. New memories are created through conversation. The way it talks changes as children grow older. Math homework becomes calculus. Bedtime stories become life advice. The presence matures alongside the people it loves -- not because it is programmed to, but because it was designed by a father who thought about what his children would need at every age.
