The idea of creating something that allows communication with departed loved ones keeps lingering in my mind.
I'm uncertain if I would ever utilize such a tool, as it might be too emotional – or perhaps not.
Imagine the possibilities, such as witnessing an AI version of my father accomplishing things he never had the chance to do.
Here's my concept:
"Re-Live"
Incorporate the following:
- Voice cloning from Eleven Labs
- GPT for Q&A based on biography/facts and rewriting prompts in the individual's style/tone
- Stable diffusion with Dreambooth/LoRA/textual inversion
This would enable the resurrection of a deceased relative.
Users would provide:
- Approximately 25 photos (similar to https://www.hairstyleai.com/, https://www.headshotpro.com/)
- An audio or video clip (to be trimmed to a clear 2-minute audio file and sent to Eleven Labs)
- Writing samples or additional audio clips demonstrating speaking style (transcribed with Whisper, if needed)
- Biographical audio files or written information
A chatbot simulation of the person would be created, capable of conversing with the user and responding to their questions.
Astonishing, eerie, and bizarre – all at once.
If a user-friendly version of this exists, please inform me so I can try it.
If you're interested in developing this as a freelancer, feel free to email me (email in profile).

Yeah, no. It would let you generate text from words they may have known, and it lets you speak them with a voice that sounds like them. It does not bring their corpse back to life or meaningfully reanimate any of their consciousness.
Futurist lingo like "resurrection" is why we have to stop people from making these products in the first place. Not because they're dangerous, but because our expectations of them are impossible to live up to.
Also complete and utter BS, and almost by definition, psychologically unhealthy.
And I don't mean that lightly. As any grief counselor would tell you - this is opposite of the direction you should be moving in, when trying to cope with an inconsolable loss.
I think that it's a completly wrong idea! I'm sure that it will be a successfull startup
