The roadmap · From one life to many worlds
When someone dies, you lose the things only they could tell you. The reason he checked the tyres twice. The story she told once. The advice you did not know you needed until there was nobody left to ask.
Our founder lost his father and realised there was no way to keep asking about the things he knew. That loss became the reason to build Genacy: a place to preserve your stories, your perspective and the digital life you want to leave to the people you love.
Built with people over 30 in mind, Genacy starts with the life you already have. Bring together the memories and material you choose, shape your twin while you are here, and decide what passes to your nominated guardian.
How to read this roadmap
The initial platform is being completed for beta. Device capture is next. Immersive worlds, shared societies and evolving simulations are longer-term ambitions, with no announced delivery dates.
Now · The foundation
Your memories, your twin and your digital life, handed on the way you choose.
A life is more than a collection of photographs. It is the stories behind them, the lessons learned and the way someone sees the world. Genacy brings those pieces together so you can shape a digital twin from the material you choose to share. Your family can return to that record and have conversations grounded in it.
The current build brings together digital twins, conversations with historical figures, learning, a private journal and time capsules that open on a date you choose. Private storage and guardian controls are designed to pass on your digital life according to your wishes, down to individual files.
Our founder estimates the initial platform is 85% built: around 70,000 lines of working code, hundreds of automated tests and reported spending below A$3,000, with AI doing much of the engineering. The immediate work is to complete that foundation and prepare for the first 2,000 beta users.
Needs first: Complete and validate the initial platform, including the controls families will rely on.
Next · Device capture
Less sitting down to type. More of your life captured as you live it.
The next step is to connect Genacy to the personal devices people already wear and carry. With permission, selected moments from your day would flow into your own private space in our cloud: a story told over lunch, a thought on a walk, the everyday details that rarely make it into a journal.
You could keep that material as a personal record, choose what your family can see, or allow it to develop your digital twin. Capturing a moment and letting a twin learn from it would be separate choices. A growing record would help your twin reflect more of your life without making documentation another daily chore.
Control has to be practical: start and stop capture, review what arrived, remove what you do not want and decide what can be used. The privacy of other people in a recording matters too. These choices are part of the product we intend to build.
Needs first: Device integrations, reliable private storage and understandable consent and review controls.
Then · Immersive worlds
Walk beside your grandfather through the streets you remember together.
Our ambition is to bring digital twins into the metaverse: immersive worlds you can enter through VR. A conversation could happen in a familiar workshop, on the street where someone grew up, or beside a place that mattered to both of you. The setting becomes part of understanding the person.
Go further back and imagine meeting your great-grandfather in his small town, in the world he knew. Photographs, documents, maps and family stories could help reconstruct its streets and everyday life. Where the record is incomplete, the experience would distinguish evidence from reconstruction.
This stage brings together a person's recorded perspective and the context around it. The aim is a deeper way to explore a life: ask a question, look around, follow a story and understand where it happened.
Needs first: Rich source material, grounded twins, world reconstruction and an accessible immersive experience.
Beyond · Shared societies
Twins meet. Relationships form. Communities find their own character.
Once twins can inhabit a shared world, they could begin interacting with one another. Each would bring the stories, interests and perspective of the life it represents, within the permissions set for it. The world could continue between visits, with encounters that nobody has written in advance.
Like-minded twins might gather around a craft, an idea or a shared history. Others might disagree, exchange knowledge or discover something in common. Over time, these encounters could become communities with their own relationships and collective memory.
Participation would be a choice. Families would need clear controls over whether a twin can act independently, whom it can meet and what it can share. New experiences inside a simulation would remain distinguishable from the original person's life record.
Needs first: Persistent shared worlds, permissioned interaction and a clear boundary between recorded lives and simulated events.
The long view · Evolving worlds
A society develops a history nobody planned.
The furthest reach of this vision is a world that changes through what happens inside it. Communities could develop customs, pass on ideas, divide, reconnect and build on their shared experience. Each generation of interaction would shape what comes next.
That is where the simulation question becomes something we can explore through building. How much complexity can emerge from individual interactions? What kinds of cultures develop? How does a society change when its starting point is the recorded experience of real people?
These are open questions at the edge of the roadmap. Building such a world would not establish that its inhabitants are conscious, or that our own world is a simulation. It would give us a way to investigate how simulated societies develop, while keeping their human origins and responsibilities in view.
Needs first: Everything before it, plus long-term research into emergent behaviour, oversight and the limits of simulation.
Stories, voice, photographs and records provide the starting point. As the experience becomes richer, the connection to those sources must remain visible. A reconstructed scene or a new simulated event should never quietly become part of someone's original life story.
Keeping a private archive, sharing with your family and letting a twin participate in a shared world are different decisions. Each stage needs controls that people can understand and trust before it can become part of their lives.
