We host Cristian Cibils Bernardes, Co‑founder & CEO of Autograph, to explore how an AI historian—“Walter”—helps families preserve loved ones’ memories in their own voice. Autograph captures life stories over simple phone calls, keeping the real emotion behind every moment while making it easy to record, explore, and share a family’s legacy.

What we’ll cover:

Why voice matters: Emotionally authentic storytelling vs. text-only memories

How Autograph’s AI historian “Walter” guides conversations to surface meaningful stories

Use cases:

Preserving grandparents’ oral histories, creating living archives for kids, celebrating life events

Privacy & ethics: Consent, data ownership, long‑term preservation, and family access controls

Product design for all ages: Frictionless phone call capture, multilingual families, diaspora storytelling

Founder journey: Paraguay roots, Stanford Symbolic Systems, Google (Shopping, Socratic), South Park Commons

Beyond product: Rabbit Hole Research podcast and the upcoming novel, Traces

About the guest: Cristian is a technologist and storyteller focused on safeguarding humanity’s most important stories. He blends engineering with meaning—building tools that help families remember, connect, and pass wisdom forward.
