Autograph AI Inc. operates in the personal digital legacy market, offering a service to record and preserve individuals' life stories. The company was founded in 2024 by Cristian Cibils Bernardes and Santiago Racca. Bernardes, the CEO, is a Stanford University alumnus and a former Google software engineer, whose background in Symbolic Systems informs the company's approach to blending technology with human experience. Racca, the CTO, brings over seven years of experience in leading AI-focused companies.
The core of Autograph's service is an AI historian named Walter, which conducts weekly, conversational phone calls with users to record their memories, reflections, and life experiences. This process requires no application installation, aiming for simplicity and accessibility. The collected audio recordings are transcribed, summarized, and compiled into a growing digital library for each user. This library, accessible through a member portal, is intended to create a comprehensive narrative and personality profile over time. The ultimate product is a digital replica, or "Autograph," that emulates the user's voice and personality, allowing family and loved ones to interact with their stories and wisdom. The service is designed to provide comfort and a lasting connection, particularly for those with terminal illnesses or who wish to leave a tangible legacy.
The company operates on a direct-to-consumer model, targeting individuals who wish to document their life story for future generations. In April 2025, Autograph secured $2.6 million in a pre-seed funding round. The financing was supported by investors including NFX, Long Journey Ventures, Embedding VC, and Cibersons. These funds are allocated towards accelerating product development and enhancing the AI interviewer's capabilities to scale the platform.
