Aeterna is a digital legacy platform that helps individuals preserve their life stories, voice, and memories as interactive digital archives that families can explore for generations. Using AI-guided interviews, users record 5–10 minute voice notes answering weekly prompts, and Aeterna's AI transcribes, analyzes sentiment and themes, and organizes everything into a searchable, interactive archive. Family members can ask natural-language questions — like "What was Grandpa's favorite holiday?" — and receive answers drawn directly from the original recordings in the narrator's own voice.

- What is a digital legacy?
- A digital legacy is an interactive, AI-powered archive of your life stories, voice recordings, photos, and memories that your family can explore for generations. Unlike a traditional will that passes down financial assets, a digital legacy passes down your stories, wisdom, and family heritage in your own voice.
- How do family members interact with my archive?
- Invited family members can visit your archive, ask questions in natural language, listen to your stories in your own voice, and browse your photos from any phone, tablet, or computer — as if they were sitting next to you. They can ask things like "What was your wedding day like?" and get a real answer from your recordings.
- Is my family's private information safe?
- Yes. All data is encrypted with AES-256 — the same standard used by banks and governments. Your memories and files are stored with enterprise-grade security, and Aeterna never shares or sells your data. You control who has access to your archive.
- Can I cancel my Aeterna membership anytime?
- Absolutely. Cancel at any time with no penalties. Your vault, memories, and archive remain safely stored even after you cancel — your legacy is always yours.
- What happens if I run out of conversations?
- Your archive and all uploaded memories stay safe — always. You can add more conversations anytime with a one-time Memory Booster Pack ($29 for 10 extra sessions and 10 file uploads), or simply wait until your next monthly renewal.
