Everything you need to capture a lifetime

Escendant is where your thoughts, memories, and stories live on. Our AI powered assitant - The Curator helps you capture your Engrams - the moments and reflections that are important to you. Record them in your own voice for lifelike playback, and create a stylised, animated avatar that captures your likeness. Want to leave a message for the future? Set Time Capsules to release Engrams whenever you choose, even after you're gone. Connect with friends and family, letting you share your Engrams on your terms, and assign trusted Trustees to help co-manage your account and safeguard your legacy.

The Curator

The Curator is the heart of the Engram creation experience. It doesn’t write for you – it draws stories out of you. The Curator can use only your words, or be your ghostwriter – your choice.

  1. Start your way

    Engrams are personal so start your chat with The Curator whichever way you like.

  2. Talk about it

    The Curator asks questions designed to surface the story behind the image.

  3. Context is key

    The Curator will adapt its questions based on what you’ve already shared.

  4. Publish in control

    Let the Curator publish using only your words or let it draft an Engram for you.

Add anything to your Engram

Engrams aren’t just words and photos. Escendant supports anything that can spark a memory.

Scanned documents

Old letters, certificates, recipes (even hand written). The Curator can analyse and summarise all these for you.

Voice recordings

Solo dictation or recorded conversations with multiple participants can be converted into meaningful Engrams.

Video clips

Short clips or 1 hour epics (wedding videos) can be analysed and summarised into an amazing Engram.

Location data

Where an Engram happened lets you understand the geography of your life.

Date and timeline context

When an Engram happened lets The Curator place events into your lifetime.

Links

Add web links to your Engram - The Curator will analyse and use them for context

Files (DOC, PDF etc)

Electronic files are often full of important information that will enrich an Engram. The Curator can summarise verbose files and add the TL:DR to your Engram.

Add Music

First dances, festivals or just a long car journey – add those music tracks that take you back to a special time in your life.
