The average obituary costs $450 to have professionally written… with the power of GPT-3 & some clever integrations, Legacies is free for individuals & families for life. Get a beautiful obituary, custom imagery, & support resources.

Hey all! With the litany of AI writing tools on the market, we wanted to do something different, and help grieving families and individuals with what can be one of the most daunting tasks conceivably possible: memorializing their loved ones. The average professionally written obituary costs $450 - that’s not ok. Legacies is free for life for individuals and families - our planned revenue comes from sponsors, affiliates, and integration partners who want to run Legacies on their web properties with their own branding (like funeral homes, death doulas, or obituary publishers) Legacies.RIP is built with a combination of GPT-3 (and a lot of prompt engineering love), AWS Lambda, Abyssale for image generation, & SendGrid for transactional emails. There are a couple of other tools in the stack, but that’s all part of the magic! We built this MVP in a single weekend - and it is surely an MVP, we are ironing out the kinks as we speak, but have tested it rigorously & wanted to get it out there to help people sooner rather than later. I actually wrote a Medium article about the experience as well - https://medium.com/@greyseymour/... In the near future, we hope to build out a proper custom frontend to better integrate with AWS, permit more customization, and display output on-site… but we need a bit of working capital before we can really do that justice. Thanks so much for checking us out, and for being patient with our MVP while we hack it further to make it as great as possible! - GS

@greyseymour @graham_seymour Congratulations on the launch of Legacies, the world's first AI-powered obituary writer and grief support system. Looking forward to seeing how Legacies will continue to support families and honor loved ones. But I still think it would be better if the obituary was written by the loved ones themselves. :)

Hi! 🤙 Congratulations on the launch of your product Legacies on Product Hunt! 😊 I'm going to check out this product. I've got just one query. How long have you been developing this?

@new_user_937170b1b4 Hi! I built the AI-powered engine in 48 hours

Congrats on the launch of your startup on Product Hunt!

I tried out a few different tones and each came across in the obituaries really effectively and in surprising ways. I thought I was a pretty competent writer too, but what was generated was clearly better. I love this, and I think this could really help someone in a difficult time when stress is high.
