Private preview · now inviting a few families
They live in your grandmother's head, your dad's voice, the way your uncle tells it at every wedding. gr8beyond gets them down in their own voice, while they're still here to tell it themselves.gathered from everyone who knew them and the recordings they left behind.
Who are you here for?
We asked
Where did you grow up?
Illustrative stories. People are composites; the experience is real.
Your turn
This is what a sitting feels like: one good question, then another. Type an answer, or just think it. Then send the question to the person whose answer you'd really like to hear. These are the prompts we send to the people who knew them. Try one about someone you miss. Then send it to a sister, an old friend, a cousin — everyone remembers something different.

— youremembered by you, today
Two ways in
Most of what makes someone unmistakably themselves never gets written down. Whether they're at the kitchen table today or already the story your family keeps retelling, there's a way to hold on to it.
A little arithmetic
Not to make you sad. To make you call.

A rough sketch from rounded U.S. life-table averages, not a prediction. Everyone's different — that's rather the point.
Everyone holds a piece

That's Rosa. Not the whole of her — but a great deal closer than any one of them could get alone.
How it works
Showing the Living ProfileTribute path.
We set up their profile together, pick a voice for the interviewer they'll enjoy talking to, and start the first sitting with something simple: where they grew up. Most people are ten minutes in before they notice they've been talking.
Add their name, a photo, and the dates. Then invite the people who knew them best: siblings, old friends, the neighbour who was always around. Each gets a personal link, no account setup to explain.
Sessions can be as short as a cup of tea. The interviewer notices the detail worth digging into, asks the follow-up a good listener would, and picks up next time exactly where they left off. Voice and video are recorded as they go.
Nobody knows what to write on a blank page. So each contributor gets guided prompts across ten areas of a life, from early years to the sayings everyone still quotes. They answer in writing or on a short video, and can add their own memories too.
"She fixed the neighbours' lawnmower with a hairpin. Twice."
"Every Friday, the same booth, the same terrible joke about the soup."

Everything they share becomes a biography, a gallery of their recordings and photos, and a voice the family can keep hearing. When there's enough, you can ask them something and get an answer drawn from their own words.
The stories, photos and videos come together into a memorial page. Keep it private to the family, or turn on a share link for anyone who wants to remember them. Turn it off again whenever you like.
What you'll have
Every story, in their words, woven into chapters. Read it on a rainy afternoon or at the service.
Both pathsRecorded as they talk, so the exact warmth when they say your name is kept.Rebuilt from old voicemails and videos, and only used once you've listened and approved it.
Both pathsHow they lean in. How they wave a hand when the story gets good. The parts a transcript loses.
Both pathsThe shoebox, finally sorted. Anyone in the family can add to it, with a caption and a date.
Both pathsPrivate by default. Turn on a share link for the celebration of life, and turn it off after.
TributeOnce they've shared enough, ask a question and hear an answer drawn only from what they actually said. Never invented.
Living ProfileWhat it can sound like
Six months after a grandmother's last sitting, a grandchild asks a question. The answer comes back in her own words and her own voice, drawn entirely from what she told us. Nothing invented, nothing guessed. If she never told us, it says so.
Illustrative exchange. Names and details are made up; the mechanics aren't.
Why this exists
I spent a week helping my mother clean out her storage unit. She had a story for every single thing in there, and we didn't have time to hear a single one of them properly.

Questions
No. Every answer is drawn from what the person actually said in their sittings, or what family shared about them. If they never talked about something, it tells you that rather than inventing a story.
If she can take a phone call, she can do a sitting. There are no forms and no menus to learn, just a conversation. A family member can sit with her for the first one, and the interviewer's voice is picked to be someone she'd enjoy talking to.
Yes, and we hope you do. A Living Profile becomes a Tribute when the time comes. Everything they recorded stays, and the family can keep adding their own memories around it.
Only the people you invite, each with a role you choose. A memorial page stays private until an owner turns on a share link, and that link can be switched off again at any time.
They're yours. They're never sold and never used to train anyone else's AI models. You can download a complete offline backup, or wipe a profile entirely, whenever you choose.
We're in a private preview with a small number of families while we refine each sitting by hand. Leaving your name below costs nothing and commits you to nothing. When we're ready for your family, we'll reach out personally and talk it through.
