Our Mission

Ensuring no one
dies alone.

Eternis AI was born in the silence of 2020. As the world locked down, our founders—Dr. Aris Thorne (PhD, Stanford AI Lab) and Dr. Elena Vance (PhD, Gerontology)—witnessed a tragedy unfolding in real-time: thousands of elderly people passing away in isolation, their stories, wisdom, and comfort lost forever.

What started as "Memorial Voices," a simple project to record messages for grieving families, quickly evolved. We realized that the human soul isn't just a collection of recordings—it's a dynamic, reactive force. It's the way your mother laughs at a bad joke. It's the specific advice your father gives when you're heartbroken.

In 2022, we pivoted to Legacy Preservation. We stopped looking backward at death and started looking forward at continuity.
