Family control matters
The archive should belong to the family, not disappear into a closed platform.
Trust & Privacy
Built for memorial trust, privacy, and family ownership.
Memorial products should not rely on fear of losing memories. Memorial Agent is being designed around more agency, more review, and more confidence in where those memories live.
Review before inclusion
Nothing should become part of a memorial without clear approval.
Selected access, not vague access
Only the sources and permissions the user explicitly chooses should be in scope.
The value is in the memorial experience
The goal is to help shape and present meaning, not to create lock-in.
Privacy is part of the product
Trust should be built into the workflow and language from the beginning.
Expected commitments
- Chosen sources, not mystery access
- Review and approval steps
- Family contribution with visible boundaries
- Respectful memorial-first product language
Avoided patterns
- Hidden ingestion
- Vague permissions
- Hostage-style storage models
- Forcing users to fear leaving
Product and technical claims on this page are phrased carefully on purpose. Memorial Agent is being designed around these principles, with the goal of building them into the real system as the product matures.
