where it started
My own family
I started with old photos of my grandparents and of relatives we had lost.

the bigger idea
Voices
Letting the people we’ve lost tell their own stories: voices recreated with ElevenLabs, and an agent that talks like my grandfather.
what didn’t work
- Customers kept their family photos private, so there was little to show.
- One or two photos of a person isn’t enough for a convincing video.
- Closed tools on a small PC: thin margins.
what I learned
- I called it early. Soon after, almost every platform shipped the same feature.
- Open source gives control. That’s where my love for AI really started.
