## About Aeterna
Aeterna is a digital legacy platform that captures oral histories through AI-guided interviews. Users record 5-10 minute voice notes answering weekly prompts, and Aeterna's AI transcribes, analyzes sentiment and themes, and organizes them into a searchable, interactive archive. Family members can ask natural-language questions — like "What was Grandpa's favorite holiday?" — and receive answers drawn directly from the original recordings in the narrator's own voice.
