You give us what you have
Photographs, videos, voicemails, letters, years of messages. We also sit down and record the stories that were never written anywhere.
burnMemory keeps a person's memory, and never invents one.
We build a private digital person from what your family already has — photographs, letters, recordings, video, and the stories only you can tell. It answers from that archive, shows where every answer came from, and says "I don't remember" when the archive is silent.

conversation — emil (grandson)
emildo you remember when we all went to the sea?
nazrinBilgah, of course. Your mother would pack more food than the car could hold, and you two were in the water before the bags were out. Every summer, until you got too big for it.

What we actually do
A family comes to us with a person they don't want to lose. We turn what they have into a checked archive, and give them a private way to talk to it. Four steps, four to eight weeks, one named person from our team with you the whole way.
02
We turn it into records
Everything is transcribed and read. Each claim about a person, place, date or event becomes a record linked to the exact file and moment it came from.
03
A human checks every one
You and our reviewer read the records together. Wrong dates are corrected, guesses are thrown out, gaps stay gaps. Nothing goes live unchecked.
04
Your family talks to it
A private app, by text and by voice. No public profile, nothing shared with anyone else, and every answer can show its source.
Ask a general AI what your mother believed and it will tell you. Fluently, confidently, out of nothing. That answer is worse than silence, because a family will believe it.
burnMemory works the other way around. Every sentence is held up by something your family gave us, and traces back to a file, a page, a timestamp. When the search comes back empty, the answer is withheld — not improvised.
The first thing my brother asked her was something we had never told anyone. She said she didn't know. That was when I believed it.
