AfterByte:
A Legacy Engine Built for Humanity
What is AfterByte?
AfterByte is LyfeBytes LLC’s flagship creation — a deeply personal, AI-powered legacy companion designed to help individuals preserve their stories, memories, values, and voice in a way that is timeless, intentional, and profoundly human.
This isn’t a chatbot.
This is you, remembered correctly.
AfterByte gathers a person’s lived experiences through guided interviews, reflective journaling, curated prompts, social media archiving (with consent), and optional 1-on-1 sessions. These inputs are transformed into a secure “digital self” powered by local-first artificial intelligence — no cloud dependence, no corporate harvesting, no intrusive surveillance.
Your memories. Your voice.
Your legacy in your control.
How AfterByte Works
AfterByte is built on a three-layer architecture carefully engineered to be lightweight, private, and deeply personal:
A structured approach to gathering the most meaningful parts of a person’s life through:
Daily journaling prompts
Life-story questionnaires
Uploadable audio/video entries
Social media archive imports
Guided interview recordings
Personal document uploads
The goal: capture essence, not just data.
At its core, AfterByte runs on:
Phi-2 (lightweight reasoning model)
Qdrant (vector-based memory storage)
A self-contained mini PC / Raspberry Pi-class device that keeps everything offline and private
This ensures:
Zero cloud dependencies
Zero third-party access
Fully portable digital memories
AI interactions tailored directly to the user
AfterByte becomes a personal companion capable of:
Recalling memories
Telling stories
Answering questions in the user’s voice and perspective
Providing comfort to loved ones
Preserving wisdom, humor, personality, and lived experiences
It is not meant to replace anyone.
It is meant to preserve what matters most.
Who AfterByte is for
Originally conceived as a tool for:
Individuals facing terminal illness
People wanting to preserve their voice and legacy
Parents wanting to leave guidance for their children
Anyone building a message for the future
AfterByte is especially valuable for families dealing with loss, caregivers, and individuals who want to ensure their stories outlive them in a meaningful, compassionate way.

A 30 Day Legacy Program
Because time is often limited, AfterByte is designed to be created in as little as 30 days.
The program includes:
Daily journaling prompts
Weekly interview sessions
Life-story reflection worksheets
Social media archiving (optional)
Voice and personality modeling
Final “AfterByte Companion” creation
This ensures every participant can leave behind something complete, personal, and powerful — even under time constraints.
The Gift of charitable contribution
AfterByte will be the first collaborative project between LyfeBytes LLC and The Bytes of Lyfe Foundation.
While LyfeBytes LLC is building and owning the proprietary technology behind AfterByte, the Foundation has been granted perpetual charitable rights to provide the completed tool free of charge to individuals who are terminally ill or facing end-of-life situations.
This partnership reflects our core belief:
Technology should serve humanity — not profit.
AfterByte is our contribution to that belief.
It is a gift, a remembrance, and a legacy entrusted to the Foundation so it can help those who need it most.
Our Promise
LyfeBytes LLC is committed to ensuring AfterByte remains:
-
Private
-
Ethical
-
Local-first
-
Accessible
-
Human-centered
This project is more than innovation.
It’s compassion wrapped in code, designed to preserve the sparks of humanity that should never fade.
