Grief technology helps people deal with the passing of loved ones. It includes memorial websites, online communities and counseling platforms.

AI Can Simulate the Departed
AI chatbots can simulate people who have long passed. The voice of the deceased can be combined with stories that appear to give life to the departed. Following prompts from a virtual biographer, HearAfter.ai lets living people share their lives via voice, text and images, which can be interactively used by family members in the future. For example, a granddaughter can even ask her departed grandfather questions and get answers in his actual voice.
