TouBot

Create your ancestor robot, your own robot self – or ordinary stories.

TouBot creates stories from profiles and keywords. You decide which ones you want to experience.
  • Ancestor or your own self
  • For you or selected people
  • No writing skills needed
Two generations look through a family album and share memories together.
What you can experience
  • An ancestor as an ancestor robot in the present day
  • Yourself as a robot – with your profile and your traits
  • Watch and listen to still-image videos and share them with others

Simple from the start

Three steps to your personal story

You need neither a finished manuscript nor writing experience.

Choose a person

Decide who you would like to experience: an ancestor as an ancestor robot, or yourself as a robot with your personal profile.

Capture personality

Build a unique profile using ready-made questions with sample answers and free-text fields.

Experience the story

Listen to stories featuring yourself, your loved ones and your ancestors as ancestor robots.

Two paths to a story

Who would you like to hear?

Past and present become your story.

An ancestor

What would your grandfather and grandmother be like today? Let them appear in new stories as ancestor robots – with their memories, their humour and their personality.

Myself

How will a future generation get to know you? Create yourself as a robot – securely and locally, in three variants, with your profile, your experiences and your memories.

Both paths can start without a profile, with just a few keywords.

Audio example

This is how a memory can become a story.

A keyword becomes a scene full of personality, humour and familiar details. This example shows how past and present come together in a personal story with an ancestor robot.

Start with the questions for free

Our free question catalogue helps you capture memories, personality and traces of a life – about an ancestor or about yourself. Splitting the content into three bots per person adds a further layer of data security while you fill it in and use it.

Interactive demos

Try TouBot for yourself

Discover how easily you can build an individual profile with the question catalogue.

The complete question catalogue contains 313 questions, 1,252 sample answers and 313 free-text fields for each bot.

The tool has a read-aloud function to make answering the questions easier. Free-text entries are not read aloud.

You do not need a complete profile to create your first stories.

To try it out, use Story Studio here on the website. It includes the question catalogue, and you can use it to generate a briefing for the AI to create a story.

The briefing consists of the keyword you entered, the players' aliases and the text from the question catalogue that matches the keyword.

Both applications are samples and show you the most important functions.

FAQ

A name or alias name and a keyword are enough to begin. With a completed question catalogue, typical phrases or small anecdotes, the stories become more personal.

No. You provide the question catalogue with the memories; TouBot – or rather the AI – writes the story from the keyword and the matching information in the catalogue.

You control access. Stories can be shared specifically with family and friends by link or QR code.

Yes. You can start with just a few questions and answer more at any time. Memories go into the free-text fields. You can also create your own chapters and questions.

The question catalogue shows all chapters with two sample questions each. Story Studio shows all input fields for creating a story and the question catalogue, as well as the workflow behind creating a story.
