Shared family research
Research together
The assistant uses the current graph to identify gaps, guide the next search and record every contribution with provenance. New information is stored as evidence first; it is never silently promoted to confirmed fact.

Family stories
Accounts can combine records and memory, provided the source of each claim remains clear.
Archive
Photographs, voices and records
Original material is kept separate from transcription, identification and interpretation.
Photographs
People, places, pets and friends. Known faces can be suggested from previously confirmed identifications.
Voices
Original recordings retain accents, humour, pauses and differences in recollection.
Letters and records
Documents can be linked to people, places, dates, events and claims.
Unidentified
Unknown people and places can be reviewed by the family and compared with contextual evidence.
Photo identification
How a suggested identity is assessed
Face similarity is considered with date, place, age, household, relationships, other people in the image and known pets. A suggestion can be strengthened, weakened or ruled out by context.
