What a digital twin of a person is
A digital twin of a person is an interactive AI representation built deliberately by the person it represents. Unlike an industrial digital twin of a machine, this one holds your identity, voice and values. Explore the present-tense build in create a digital twin of yourself, and the death-framed concept in digital twin after death.
Built while you are alive
Building it yourself, while you are alive, answers the consent question before it is asked. The result is governed by Executor Lock™. Begin on the services page.
A digital twin of a person vs an industrial digital twin
In engineering, a digital twin is a live model of a machine or system. A digital twin of a person is different: it is an interactive AI representation of a specific human being. With Afterlife AI you are not modelled from sensors, you are captured from your own memories, values and voice, by you, while you are alive.
How your digital twin is built, and why while you are alive
You build your twin across the eleven dimensions, calibrate it until it sounds like you, and enrich it over time. Building it yourself, while you can still decide, answers the hardest question in this category before it is asked: consent. A twin reconstructed after death from social posts never had that. See the present-tense build in create a digital twin of yourself and the death-framed concept in digital twin after death.
What a digital twin can and cannot do
Your digital twin can hold a conversation grounded in what you recorded, deliver scheduled messages, and reflect your values. It is not conscious, not a legal person, and it does not make new decisions on your behalf. It stays inside the boundaries you set, governed by Executor Lock.

Create your Persona
If you have read this far, you have probably already decided that the question of what happens to your digital self after you die is worth answering deliberately rather than leaving to chance. The Afterlife AI™ service exists to let you answer it on your own terms, while you are still here to set the terms. Sign up, start your Persona, designate your Trusted Contacts, activate Executor Lock™ and build at your own pace. Build Once. Live Twice.™
