Overview

StoryFile is an AI-powered video platform transforming recorded interviews into interactive conversational experiences: visitors ask questions and receive authentic video responses in real time from a digital representation of a real person, built explicitly around genuine footage rather than synthetic generation.

Interview indexing intelligently maps conversational pathways from professionally filmed sessions, enabling real-time interaction where a visitor’s question is matched to the closest real, recorded answer. Both DIY generative-avatar options and enterprise-grade legacy capture are available, with an optional HOLOGLASS 3D display hardware option for cinematic presentation.

StoryFile targets museums and institutions preserving historical narratives (including the National WWII Museum), families creating digital memorials of loved ones, and enterprises building conversational AI training experiences – demonstrated publicly by retired NASA astronaut Terry Virts. The New York Times has described the platform as capturing “real people answering real questions” rather than fabricated avatars. Pricing isn’t listed; commercial inquiries go through a demo booking.
