What will you build?
The options are endless – if you have a project or an idea of how you’d like to use Escendant, please get in touch.
Use case - Parents and grandparents
Talking around the table
Stories flow naturally when people are relaxed. Escendant can capture those kitchen table chats, Sunday lunch stories and idle evening anecdotes.
- Conversations are analysed and converted into Engrams, with key facts pulled out and recorded.
- Co-manage your parents’ and grandparents’ accounts.
- The Curator will ask questions tailored to their era, their interests, their life.
- Respond with your voice – no typing required.
Use case - Children
The start of a story
Escendant lets parents capture and curate a child’s early years. Children under 13 cannot create their own account, but parents can create a sub-account on their behalf.
- Parents can create Engrams capturing: first steps, first words, family trips.
- At 13, the account can be handed over to the child.
- Handed-over accounts inherit everything, and the new owner can choose to keep co-managers or manage the account alone.
Use case - Deceased
For those not with us
Escendant is primarily a tool for the living. But it also serves those preserving the memory of someone gone.
- After a user passes away, their Escendant accounts and shared Engrams remain available.
- Add photos, documents and stories to build a sub-account that commemorates the life of someone who has passed.
- Family members can contribute different perspectives on the same person.
- A deceased person’s Escendant becomes a collective portrait – richer than a single memory.
