THE BIG STORY
🪦 Loved Ones Preserved After Death with AI

Brief: AI company You, Only Virtual is developing chatbots modeled after deceased loved ones, aiming to redefine how some people deal with grief.

The chatbots, which can summarize text and answer questions based on data they have been trained with, are being used for product prototyping. However, the industry faces challenges in building chatbots that accurately mimic a deceased person, and there are concerns over issues like privacy and consent.

Details:

• You, Only Virtual scans communication records such as text messages, emails, and phone calls to create a chatbot that can utter original responses in conversation with a user through written chats or audio responses that mimic a deceased relative's voice.
  

• The company plans to offer video-chat capability later this year and provide augmented reality.
  

• StoryFile, another company in the same space, offers an interactive version of deceased relatives by recording an hours-long question-and-answer session with the individual before their death.
  
  

What's Next: As generative AI advances, companies like You, Only Virtual, and StoryFile are likely to continue refining their technology to create more accurate and lifelike reproductions of deceased loved ones.
