Imagine having a digital version of yourself that can speak, interact, and even tell your family stories long after you're gone. This isn't science fiction—it's the exciting reality of digital doppelgangers, and creating one is easier and more enjoyable than you might think.

What Exactly is a Digital Doppelganger?

A digital doppelganger is a virtual replica of you, capturing your voice, mannerisms, and even your appearance. It's like having a high-tech twin that can carry on conversations, share memories, and interact with others in ways that feel remarkably real.

Remember that scene in the original Superman movie where Superman is in his ice castle and talks to a hologram of his father Jor-El?   His father is long gone, but Superman is able to ask him for advice.  See that scene HERE

This is now a reality with digital doppelgangers.

At FamilyVoicesAI, we're making this technology accessible to everyone. Our focus is on preserving voices and family legacies, allowing you to create a digital version of yourself that can tell your stories for generations to come.

The Creation Process: Simpler Than You'd Expect

Creating your digital twin is a straightforward and engaging process. Actually, it's really fun!  Here's how it works:

1. Voice Recording: We start by recording your voice.  Don't worry if you haven't recorded before. We walk you through it. This is your opportunity to share your favorite stories, jokes, and words of wisdom.
2. AI Magic: Our AI technology analyzes your voice patterns, intonation, and speech quirks to create a digital voice that sounds just like you.
3. Personality Input: We provide series of prompts to build a mini biography which includes specifics about personality, family history, interests, and knowledge to ensure your digital twin reflects the real you.
4. Visual Creation (Optional): For a full digital likeness, we can also create a visual avatar based on your appearance.

The best part? This process is interactive and fun. Many of our users find that recording stories and memories for their digital twin becomes a cherished experience in itself.

Here's a short video of a mother/daughter duo who uses our service.
