Begin with permission
Use material you own or are authorized to use. Define who may contribute, review, access, or remove information, and record any limits involving voice, likeness, private memories, or sensitive relationships.
Keep provenance attached
Connect statements to interviews, documents, recordings, images, or other identified sources. Separate documented memories from reasonable inference, uncertainty, and creative reconstruction.
Give people control
Review profiles, memories, media, and generated behavior. Correct errors, restrict sensitive topics, and avoid claiming that a generated answer proves what the represented person believed or would have chosen.
Use the right expectation
Digital Essences can support remembrance, storytelling, education, and authorized family experiences. They can be incomplete or wrong and should never replace human relationships, professional advice, legal consent, or emergency support.
