This is one of the most important pages on AncestLore. Please read it carefully.
Memory Conversations are AI-generated
Memory Conversations use artificial intelligence to generate replies based on memories, stories, voice notes, messages, photos, videos, documents, and other information that you, or people you invite, upload.
You are not communicating with the actual person
The deceased person is not communicating through this platform. The living person is not present in the chat. AncestLore is not a channel for supernatural, spiritual, or paranormal communication. It is a memory and storytelling tool that can sound familiar because it has been trained on familiar materials.
Outputs may be inaccurate
Responses are estimates. They can include assumptions, omissions, or outright inaccuracies. They do not represent the true thoughts, beliefs, intentions, wishes, or feelings of the person being remembered. Do not rely on them for major life, medical, legal, or financial decisions.
Emotional wellbeing
Memory Conversations can be powerful and emotional. AncestLore is designed to support remembrance, reflection, and healing — not to replace relationships, professional care, or human support. If a conversation becomes overwhelming, please step away, talk to someone you trust, or reach out to professional support. If you are in crisis, please contact local emergency services.
Consent before you begin
Before your first Memory Conversation, AncestLore will ask you to read this disclosure, tick acknowledgement boxes, and record a short spoken confirmation. This consent is stored to give us a clear audit trail of informed use.
