AI for Storytelling

How AI Companions Help Genealogists!

Imagine a world in which your digital assistants—AI companions—bring the dusty archives and tattered photos of your ancestors to life, guiding you through each branch of your family tree and effortlessly revealing secrets from the past. This isn’t a glimpse of a far-off future—it's happening now, with the power of AI tools designed to make genealogical research and ancestral storytelling easier, more insightful, and even fun.

In my latest webinar, Embracing AI Opportunities in Genealogy, I explore how my favourite AI companions help me take my family history research to new heights and create narratives that appeal to my younger descendants. You'll meet these AI companions from the Abacus community, each with unique skills to help you uncover stories, solve mysteries, and connect the dots between generations.

From creating ancestor profiles from uploaded data with Chat GPT 4o to finding hidden connections to mystery and folklore with Gemini Pro and visualising your ancestors' lives with Flux 1.1, these AI companions are ready to make ancestral storytelling more accessible and creative. With help from the poet of the group, Claude Sonnet, you can plan out your story with chapter titles and then embrace other AI tools, such as SearchLLM, to research historical context and improve the readability of your story.

Join me as we venture into the vibrant world of AI-assisted genealogy. Learn practical ways to leverage AI for deeper insights, experience real-life examples of workflows in family research, and discover how to bring your ancestral stories to life like never before. Whether you’re a seasoned genealogist or just starting on your journey, there are endless opportunities to embrace—and together, we can transform how we connect with our heritage.
