A

AES-256 Encryption

Security & Encryption

Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys, the highest level of commercial encryption used by governments and militaries worldwide. With AES-256, data is mathematically protected - it would take billions of years for even supercomputers to break the encryption.

How Solexi.ai uses it: All vault content (photos, videos, documents, messages) is encrypted with AES-256 before storage, ensuring family memories remain completely private and secure for 100+ years.
Example: Even if someone physically stole our servers, your encrypted family photos would remain unreadable without your cryptographic keys.

AI Voice Avatar

AI Technology

An artificial intelligence-powered virtual representation of a person's voice, speech patterns, and conversational style. Created by recording voice samples, the AI avatar can generate new speech in the person's voice, allowing future generations to hear their ancestor's voice telling stories, answering questions, or delivering scheduled messages.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Record 10-20 minutes of your voice, and our deep learning AI creates an avatar with 99.2% similarity. Your great-grandchildren in 2100 will be able to hear Grandpa's voice telling family stories.
Example: Your granddaughter asks the avatar "Tell me about when you met Grandma" and hears your voice recounting the story as if you were there.

Automatic Relationship Detection

Genealogy & Family

AI-powered feature that analyzes family tree entries to automatically identify and suggest relationships between individuals. Recognizes patterns like: same surname + dates = likely siblings, parent-child age gaps, marriage connections, geographic proximity.

How Solexi.ai uses it: As you add family members, AI suggests connections you might have missed, helping build comprehensive multi-generational trees faster with fewer errors.
Example: You add "Marie Johnson, born 1925" and AI suggests she might be the sister of "Robert Johnson, born 1923" already in your tree.

C

Conversational AI

AI Technology

Artificial intelligence technology enabling natural human-like dialogue. Goes beyond simple chatbots by understanding context, remembering conversation history, and generating contextually appropriate responses.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Voice avatars use conversational AI to answer family questions, tell stories, and engage in meaningful interactions as if the person were present.
Example: Your AI avatar remembers previous conversation context: "Tell me more about that story you mentioned earlier about the war."

Cryptographic Keys

Security & Encryption

Secret mathematical codes used to encrypt and decrypt digital vault content. Like physical keys to a safe, only those with the correct cryptographic keys can access encrypted memories.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Multi-key systems where vault owners and designated heirs each hold keys, ensuring access continuity while maintaining security. Keys are never stored on company servers.
Example: You hold Master Key 1, your spouse holds Master Key 2, and your children receive Heir Keys that activate after death verification.

D

Death Verification System

Messaging & Legacy

Secure process for confirming a person's death before triggering posthumous message delivery or heir access to digital vaults. Methods include: official death certificate upload, notary confirmation, trusted contact verification, automatic obituary monitoring, government death registry integration.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Prevents unauthorized access while ensuring timely delivery of final messages. Multiple verification methods provide flexibility and security.
Example: After your passing, your designated contact uploads the death certificate, triggering delivery of your wedding day message to your daughter.

Deep Learning Voice Synthesis

AI Technology

Advanced AI technology that analyzes voice recordings to understand speech patterns, tone, accent, rhythm, and emotional expression. After training on 10-20 minutes of voice samples, the AI can generate new speech in that person's voice with 99%+ accuracy.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Neural networks capture subtle nuances that make each voice unique, powering our voice avatar feature with industry-leading 99.2% similarity.
Example: After recording yourself reading a story, the AI can generate your voice saying "Happy 18th birthday, grandson" for future delivery.

Digital Legacy

Messaging & Legacy

The collection of digital assets, memories, and information (photos, videos, documents, social media accounts, messages) that a person leaves behind after death. Digital legacy preservation ensures these assets are organized, secured, and transmitted to chosen heirs according to specified rules.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Comprehensive platform for creating, organizing, and transmitting your complete digital legacy across 3-4 generations with 100-year guaranteed preservation.
Example: Your digital legacy includes: 50,000 family photos, 200 videos, your voice avatar, 15 posthumous messages, and a 7-generation family tree.

Digital Time Capsule

Messaging & Legacy

A collection of digital content (photos, videos, letters, voice messages) sealed until a specific future date or event. Similar to physical time capsules buried for future discovery, but with guaranteed digital preservation and automated delivery.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Create time capsules for children's 18th birthdays, family archive to open in 2074, wisdom letters for grandchildren not yet born.
Example: In 2024, you create a time capsule for your newborn son to open on his 21st birthday in 2045, containing videos, letters, and advice from his younger parents.

Digital Vault

Data Storage

An ultra-secure encrypted storage space for preserving digital memories (photos, videos, documents, audio recordings) with guaranteed long-term preservation. Uses military-grade AES-256 encryption, geographic redundancy across multiple data centers, and automatic format migration.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Unlike regular cloud storage, our digital vaults are designed for multi-generational heritage transmission with 100+ year accessibility guarantees.
Example: Store unlimited family photos, videos, and documents with confidence they'll remain accessible for your great-great-grandchildren in 2124.

DNA Integration

Genealogy & Family

Feature allowing import of DNA test results from services like Ancestry.com, 23andMe, or MyHeritage to discover genetic relatives and enhance family tree accuracy. DNA data helps identify unknown relatives, confirm family relationships, and connect with distant cousins.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Display genetic relationships alongside genealogical records for comprehensive family understanding. Find relatives you never knew existed.
Example: Import your 23andMe results and discover a 3rd cousin match who holds family photos from your great-grandfather's branch.

F

Family Tree Genealogy

Genealogy & Family

A visual diagram showing family relationships across multiple generations, including ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents) and descendants (children, grandchildren). Digital family trees include rich profiles with photos, videos, life stories, birth/death dates, locations, occupations, and DNA connections.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Build unlimited-generation trees with automatic relationship detection, collaborative editing by family members, and integration with photo/video vaults.
Example: Create a 7-generation tree from your great-great-grandparents (born 1880s) to your grandchildren (born 2020s), with photos and stories for each person.

Format Migration

Data Storage

The process of automatically converting digital files from obsolete formats to current standards as technology evolves. Examples: VHS → DVD → MP4, JPEG → JPEG2000, Word 97 → DOCX. Without format migration, files become unreadable as old software disappears.

How Solexi.ai uses it: 100-year guarantee includes automatic format migration at no additional cost, ensuring your 2024 MP4 videos remain playable in 2124.
Example: When MP4 becomes obsolete in 2060, Solexi automatically converts your videos to the new standard, keeping them accessible.

G

GEDCOM File

Genealogy & Family

GEnealogical Data COMmunication file format, the universal standard for exchanging family tree data between different genealogy software programs. GEDCOM files contain individual records, family relationships, events, sources, and notes.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Import/export GEDCOM for compatibility with Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, and other platforms. Your data is never locked in.
Example: Export your Solexi family tree as GEDCOM to share with a cousin using Ancestry, or import your existing Ancestry tree into Solexi.

Geographic Redundancy

Data Storage

Data storage strategy where identical copies of content are stored in multiple physical locations (data centers in different countries/continents). If one location experiences disaster (fire, flood, earthquake, hardware failure), your data remains safe in other locations.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Maintain at least 3 geographically distributed copies of all vault content with automatic synchronization across continents.
Example: Your family photos are simultaneously stored in data centers in USA, Europe, and Asia - if California burns, your memories are safe.

H

Heir Vault Access

Messaging & Legacy

Controlled process by which designated family members (heirs) gain access to digital vault contents after specific triggers. Access can be immediate (shared family memories), delayed (age 18, graduation, marriage), or posthumous (after vault owner's death).

How Solexi.ai uses it: Heirs receive cryptographic keys and login credentials after identity verification. Supports multiple heirs with different access levels and timing.
Example: Your daughter gets immediate access to family photos, but her son (your grandson) receives posthumous messages when he turns 18 in 2042.

Heritage Transmission

Messaging & Legacy

The process of passing down family memories, knowledge, values, and digital assets to future generations according to predefined rules. Includes specifying which heirs receive what content, when they gain access, and under what conditions.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Sophisticated rule engine ensures family history and wisdom are preserved across 3-4 generations exactly as you intend.
Example: Transmit your WWII veteran father's stories to your children immediately, but save his final battle memories for grandchildren when they turn 21.

Historical AI Avatar

AI Technology

Artificial intelligence representation of a historical figure (Napoleon, Marie Curie, historical family members) that can engage in natural conversations with museum visitors. Based on authentic archives, biographies, and historical documents.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Museums use our technology to create interactive avatars that answer questions, tell stories, and provide educational experiences in the figure's voice and personality.
Example: Museum visitors can ask Napoleon's avatar "Why did you invade Russia?" and hear a first-person explanation based on historical records.

L

Legacy Plan

Data Storage

Solexi.ai's premium subscription offering 100-year guaranteed digital preservation for families. Includes: unlimited storage, AI voice avatar creation, posthumous messaging, complete family tree builder, geographic redundancy, automatic format migration, heir access management, and company continuity guarantee.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Legal trusts and escrow arrangements ensure vault persists even if Solexi.ai is acquired or dissolved. Your memories outlive the company.
Example: Pay once ($299/year) and your entire family history is preserved until 2124 - your great-great-grandchildren will access your vault.

P

Posthumous Messaging

Messaging & Legacy

Messages (video, audio, or text) scheduled to be automatically delivered to recipients after the sender's death or on specific future dates and events. Examples include birthday messages for grandchildren not yet born, wedding day advice, graduation congratulations, or annual anniversary messages.

How Solexi.ai uses it: Messages are encrypted and stored securely until the delivery trigger occurs (death verification, specific date, or life event). Helps you remain present in your family's life even after you're gone.
Example: Record a video message today for your daughter's wedding in 2035, offering advice and expressing your love, ensuring your presence at her special day.
