Digital Legacy User Guide

How to preserve the memories, voice, and wisdom of your loved ones – forever.

📖 Contents

đŸŒŗ 1. Introduction

Digital Legacy allows you to preserve the personality, voice, and wisdom of your loved ones – even beyond death. Through AI-powered technology, you can have conversations with a digital representation based on a person's memories, stories, and personality.

What can Digital Legacy do?

â„šī¸ Important to understand

Digital Legacy is not a replacement for real human relationships or professional grief counseling. It's a tool to preserve memories and capture the essence of a person for future generations.

🚀 2. Getting Started

System Requirements

1 Download the app

Download Digital Legacy from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).

2 Create an account

Create an account with your email address. All data is stored encrypted.

3 Connect AI server

Connect the app to an AI server (locally via Ollama or your own server).

💡 Tip: Use local AI

For maximum privacy, we recommend using a local AI server like Ollama. This way, your data never leaves your network.

👤 3. Create a Person

To create a digital legacy, you first create a profile for the person.

1 Tap "New Person"

On the main screen, you'll find the button to create a new person.

2 Enter basic information

Enter the name, optionally a photo, birth date, and relationship (e.g., "Grandpa", "Mother").

3 Describe personality

Describe the personality: Was the person humorous? Thoughtful? Warm-hearted? This information helps the AI respond authentically.

4 Set language and style

Choose the main language and describe the speech style (e.g., "Uses many proverbs", "Speaks with an accent").

💾 4. Add Memories

The more memories you add, the more authentic the conversations become.

Types of Memories

💡 Tip: Structured Interviews

Use the interview feature to systematically collect memories. The app asks targeted questions about various areas of life.

Best Practices

âš ī¸ Important

Respect the person's privacy. Only add information that the person themselves shared or would share.

đŸ’Ŧ 5. Chat with the Person

After adding memories, you can chat with the digital legacy.

How it works

The AI uses all stored memories, the personality description, and the speech style to generate responses that sound authentic. The more context you provide, the better the responses.

Tips for good conversations

â„šī¸ AI Limitations

The AI can only respond based on available memories. If information is missing, it will communicate that honestly. It doesn't invent facts.

🔒 6. Privacy & Security

Our Principles

Encryption

All data is stored encrypted with AES-256 on your device. Even if someone gains physical access to your device, the data is unreadable without your password.

Self-Hosting

For maximum control, you can host Digital Legacy on your own server. This way, data never leaves your network.

💡 Recommendation

Enable 2-factor authentication for additional security.

❓ 7. FAQ

Can I share the legacy with others?

Yes, you can invite other family members to access the digital legacy. You retain control over who has access.

What happens to my data if I delete the app?

All data is permanently deleted. We recommend creating a backup first.

Can I create multiple people?

Yes, you can create as many profiles as you want – for grandparents, parents, friends, or other important people.

Does the app work offline?

Yes, if you use a local AI server, everything works without an internet connection.

How can I improve AI responses?

The more memories and details you add, the more authentic the responses become. Use the feedback feature to help the AI improve.
