Fact...it is user friendly and easy to navigate.

So if that’s something that could be true like, I’d maybe want a way to learn more about that one specific fact. Perhaps you could use the AI agent to nudge the community to fill in the details.

I would have loved to have had this, this past week, to help me grieve with the passing of my cat. They were practically a family member, I needed help processing my grief.
— P4, NYC
I am a writer, I wouldn’t want AI to write my story for me. But that’s just me.
— P5, NYC
Is there a way you can make it so it doesn’t feel like you’re NOT collecting stories of dead people?
— P4, NYC
I would also consider having alive people contribute to their own story and then have that content carryover when they pass, then their story can be told from their POV and ours.

How do we balance the POV of the person who lived vs POV of the people who knew them?
