About us
We built OtherMy because the questions come too late
Most of us only think of what we wanted to ask our parents once we can't. OtherMy is a calm, honest way to keep the stories, the way of talking and the voice of the people we love, and to let a family keep asking.
Why OtherMy exists
A family loses more than a person. It loses the answers only they had: how the soup was really made, what grandfather said on the day he left his village, why a mother chose a name. Photos keep faces. Hardly anything keeps the way someone explained things.
OtherMy starts with the simplest step: questions. You answer them about yourself, or you sit with your mother and let her answer by talking. You add memories with photos, her voice messages, the chats you already have with her. Brothers and sisters add what they remember. From all of this the app learns how she talks, and later the family can ask her copy things and hear the answer the way she would put it.
What OtherMy is, and what it is not
- It is a place to keep someone's stories, words, opinions and voice, with the family's help.
- It is a copy you can talk with. It answers from what it was told, in the person's style, and says when it doesn't know.
- It is not the person. It does not think or feel, and it does not continue anyone's life.
- It is not a replacement for anyone, and we never describe it like that.
Before the first conversation with a copy of someone who has passed away, the app says this plainly and gently. Grief is not a growth metric for us.
How we make it
OtherMy is made by EDROIDA, a small software company. We test it with real families and change it based on what they tell us. Our choices are guided by a few rules:
- Your data is yours. Download everything you shared in one file, delete any part, or your whole account, whenever you like.
- Consent first. A loved one's voice is used only with their consent, or your right as family where the law allows it.
- No ads, no selling data. OtherMy is paid for by its plans. What you share does not train public AI models.
- Plain words. We explain how our AI works and where it falls short.
- A promise if we ever stop. If OtherMy closes, you hear at least 90 days before, with time to take everything with you.
