12/30/2023 New MyHeritage Feature, AI Biographer, Creates Instant Biographies for Your Ancestors!Read Now New MyHeritage Feature, AI Biographer MyHeritage, the leader in innovative family history tools, has just surprised us with 2 new, groundbreaking features! The first day after Christmas MyHeritage gave to me…AI Record Finder and AI Biographer to enhance my genealogy! MyHeritage AI BiographerMyHeritage is constantly churning out the best state-of-the-art tools and features to enhance, preserve, and share your family history! The all new MyHeritage AI Biographer, a genealogists and/or family historian dream come true, automatically creates a “Wikipedia-style” biography of your ancestor’s life, utilizing details from matching historical records and family tree profiles, using AI technology! Enhance your family history and genealogy experience by Instantly creating beautiful biographies with historical context to pass down through the generations! This came at the perfect time for me! What had I literally been doing the few days before this was announced to me? I was taking all my own historical facts from my timeline and copying and pasting them in an AI rephraser tool to create something just like this! At the same time, I was telling myself that it would be cool if either Ancestry or MyHeritage came out with a feature that did exactly what I was doing manually, take everything from your timeline/ancestor’s timeline and create a story or biographical sketch using AI. Who knew that MyHeritage was working on just that behind the curtains, right at the time I was envisioning it! What’s Included in the AI Biography

As you can see from the images below, it also pulled info from another family tree (the FamilySearch Collaborative World Tree of all things 😉), showing some incorrect info. My 2nd great grandfather did not have a child named Everett Waldo; my great grandfather, Edmond Cole (already listed) had changed his name, in his later years, to this. Right after I saw this, I went in and removed the Everett Waldo from the FamilySearch Collaboative World Tree, but who knows when someone else will add it again.😉 I HOPE MyHeritage creates an option to just pull from your own tree, while also pulling info from the web for historical context, then it would be a true dream come true. 😉
Try It for FREEThere is currently an unspecified number of free biographies for anyone who wants to try out this new groundbreaking feature!

Interesting that My Heritage is doing this. Looking through the AI bio it created for you, it looks very similar to the bios created by my family tree software. Seems as if this might be most useful for those who put their trees online rather than into their own program. 12/30/2023 04:56:46 pm
Interesting, Molly! What program do you use that can create an entire historical sketch? My FTM doesn't do that.So far, this is the first I see of it's kind. :)

TY for this demonstration. I'll stick to writing my own bite-sized bios, with facts and extra info I've checked and know are correct. 1/7/2024 05:45:16 am
Or...You could take this info and correct it, add a bit of your own, then copy and paste it into an AI tool to create a story, etc.;) I especially love the historical context. :) 1/7/2024 04:46:36 pm
Wow, what an incredible tool this could be for all of us. Thank you for the demo of it and pointing out the strengths and weaknesses. I'm going to play around with it, thank you. 1/20/2024 09:26:27 am
Thank you, Jenny! After you get a chance to "play around with it", please let me know how it worked out! :)

I tried this AI Biographer feature with one person in my tree a while ago just to see how it works. Now, when MyHeritage has changed the way the profile information is presented, they have also automatically added the AI Biography to that person's profile information although I thought that I'd already removed it. - I know that I cannot edit the biography but I'd very much like to remove it altogether but cant't find a way to do that. How can I delete the biography? 3/23/2024 03:27:39 am
AI BIographer is different than the life story you see in the "Biography" section of the Ancestor's new profile page. It does not affect anything in any way being there. It is just an added bonus. :)

Hello, and thank you very much for your answer! - Yes, the AI Biography is a separate feature but it appears in the Biography section of this one person in question. My problem here is that because of the way I use the MH family tree with mainly only for direct ancestrors (not their other children) and limited to their very basic information, the AI biography cannot be that good. So it's not going to be of any real use (and could possibly even be missleading) for anyone else either who is reading the profile information and perhaps even wanting to use the AI biography one way or another. That's why I'd like to be able to remove this sketch-like AI biography alltogether... Leave a Reply. |
