DeepBrain AI’s Re;memory
A Seoul-based company – DeepBrain AI has created this talking-with-dead AI interface that will allow anyone to have a conversation with their late loved ones and connect virtually with them.
Re;memory puts in every aspect of your loved ones, from their face, physique to voice into the deep-learning technology to produce a real-version of the deceased person. After 7 hours of making the algorithm and filming, a virtual human mimicking the beloved deceased person is created for you to interact and share your untold feelings with for about 30-minutes.
The reuniting experience with the loved ones can be anything you wish for, a real chat with them, or have a video message wishing you and family on important occasions or even hold a memorial service in the presence of the dead-one.
The Tech & Experience

The AI deployed is of the conversational form that uses natural language processing and speech recognition technology to make real-time conversations possible, just like Google Assistant or Siri, but the voice would be like the person you want to talk with.
The AI analyzes the deceased’s voice samples while he was still alive to understand the high and low tones as well as the deceased’s unique pronunciation habits.
