Aeterna launches a private digital legacy platform that lets users preserve life stories as interactive AI archives for families to explore.

Aeterna guides users through weekly AI-prompted voice interviews (5–10 minutes each), automatically transcribes recordings, analyzes sentiment and themes, and organizes them into a searchable archive encrypted with AES-256 encryption.

Family members can ask natural-language questions about the narrator's life—like "What was Grandpa's favorite holiday?"—and receive answers drawn from the original voice recordings in the narrator's own voice, or interact with an AI digital twin trained on those stories.

Pricing starts at free ($0/month for 5 conversations and 1 family member), $49/month for The Storyteller plan (30 everyday chats, 50 animated memories, 2 beneficiaries), and $159/month for The Family Legacy plan (100 sessions, 100 animated portraits, 5 beneficiaries); a standalone offline Aeterna Time Capsule device costs $1,499 one-time with lifetime storage and no monthly fees.
