Question: How can I create a digital autobiography that's private and secure, and can be accessed by my family in the future?

If you want a private, secure digital legacy that your family can access, Almaya is a good option. The service lets you record, store and share your own stories and advice through video and audio recordings. The service uses Amazon AWS encrypted technology to protect your data and doesn't sell or share it. Almaya also offers an AI-powered conversational chat (ALMA) to explore and share your experiences, so it's a good all-purpose tool for your legacy.

Another option is HereAfter, an app to share memories. It records interviews and lets you add photos to go along with them. The conversational interface lets family members ask questions and hear your answers in your own voice. HereAfter has secure authorized access and a variety of subscription plans for different budgets, so it's a good option for creating and sharing your stories.

If you want to leave a legacy, ContinYou offers a different approach. You can record or upload messages for specific dates, and the service stores them securely. The app is geared for people with terminal illness, military deployments or dangerous jobs who want to send a message to loved ones later. ContinYou also has AI-generated characters that can follow up with further communications, so your messages can be delivered as you intend.

If you prefer an AI-based approach, Storly.ai lets you create your life story with a minimal amount of effort. The service poses AI-generated interview questions and then turns your answers into a story in a few minutes. Storly.ai promises privacy control so you can keep your stories private or share them with others, so it's a good option for people who want a quick and private way to capture their life.
