LegacyVia
Legacy by way of AI
"Via" means "by way of." LegacyVia preserves a person's voice, stories and teaching methods, so the people they leave behind can still hear them.
LegacyVia begins with a conversation. Via the Chronicler interviews a person about their life, the stories they want told and what they hope to be remembered for. Those stories become their life print, and a recording of their own voice becomes their voiceprint.
After they are gone, family and friends can call. Via the Greeter answers, gently introduces each caller, and passes them to the voiceprint, which tells the stories in the person's own voice.
Our method is captured in four words: One Path, Many Returns.
LegacyVia is being developed by Frontline Centre Inc., with a pilot planned in Toronto.
Try it yourself
Call and Via the Greeter will answer and introduce you to Francesco, the AI voiceprint built from Frank's own voice. Francesco speaks as Frank will for his family after he is gone, telling these stories in his own words.
