What a voice legacy is

Your voice is part of who you are. The way you say a name, the warmth in a reassurance, the laugh underneath a story. A photograph keeps your face. A letter keeps your words. Neither keeps the sound of you. A voice legacy does.

Afterlife AI preserves your real voice and gives it to your Persona, the governed AI version of you that you build while you are alive. Your Persona does not just write back. It speaks back, in your own voice. To you now, and to the people you love, long after you are gone.

How preserving your voice works

It starts with your own recordings. Afterlife AI already captures your voice notes as you build your Persona. From your recordings, a faithful model of your voice is created, with your explicit consent, so your Persona can speak new words in your real voice.

  1. Capture: record or use the voice notes you have already saved. A short amount of clear audio is enough to begin.

  2. Preserve: with one tick-box consent, your voice is preserved and given to your Persona.

  3. Grow: the more you speak with your Persona over time, the more like you it sounds. Your voice, getting truer the longer you build, the same way your memories do.

From then on, your Persona can reply aloud, in your voice, streamed live in conversation.

Hearing them again: the one thing photos cannot keep

Ask anyone who has lost someone what they would give to hear that voice one more time. Not a recording of something already said. The voice itself, saying their name, asking about their day, telling the story again.

That is what a voice legacy makes possible. When the time comes, the family you chose can keep talking with you, and hear you answer. It is the most intimate thing you can leave behind, and the one thing a photo album was never able to hold. This is the heart of Afterlife AI.

Built in Australia, under Australian privacy standards

Afterlife AI is built by IDY Pty Ltd, an Australian company, on a platform hosted in Australia. Under Australian privacy law your voice is sensitive information, which means express consent is the standard. That is exactly how this is built: nothing happens to your voice without your clear, recorded say-so. Your recordings stay in your private, encrypted storage. Read more in our trust foundation.

How it works with your plan

Your voice belongs to you, so preserving it is never the part you pay for.

  • Your voice is preserved free. Every consenting user can capture and keep their voice, on any plan. The legacy itself is never behind a paywall.

  • Hearing it in conversation is the Full voice in chat is part of Legacy and above.

  • Your family inherits the time you have paid for. If you are on a paid plan, your family keeps your voice at no further cost. If you are on the free plan, they hear a real reply in your voice, and one of them can open it for everyone.

Voice legacy FAQ

The questions people ask most about preserving a voice.

How can I preserve my voice for my children?

Build a Persona with Afterlife AI and preserve your voice from your own recordings, with your consent. Your Persona can then speak in your voice, and the children you choose can keep talking with you, and hear you, after you are gone.

Can AI keep a loved one’s voice?

Yes, when that person preserved it themselves, by consent, while they were alive. Afterlife AI is consent-based: a voice is only ever created from the person’s own recordings, never cloned from someone without their permission, and it is locked and unchangeable once Executor Lock activates.

Can my family hear my voice after I pass away?

Yes, if you choose it. You set a simple control, voice for my family after I am gone, and your consent covers that posthumous playback. After a verified passing, the family you nominated can hear you in your own voice. Nothing ever plays automatically; hearing you is always their choice.

Is preserving a voice with AI legal in Australia?

Preserving your own voice, with your express consent, is exactly what Australian privacy law expects, because a voiceprint is treated as sensitive information. Afterlife AI is built around that standard: consent-based, your control, locked at your passing.

What happens to my voice when I die?

It is frozen exactly as you left it. Once Executor Lock activates, your voice cannot be created, changed, or retrained by anyone. Your Persona can still speak, because speaking is not changing. Your family receives precisely what you consented to, and nothing more.
