Preserve Nanyang stories and let old photographs live again in the digital age.
Singapore was shaped by generations of migration, yet many personal and Nanyang community histories remain scattered across fading photographs and fragmented oral accounts. Living Chronicles helps families and communities turn those materials into durable digital memory.
As co-founder and full-stack developer, I worked across the product experience, AI workflow, interface design, and implementation.
Photographs may survive while names, places, relationships, dialects, and lived stories disappear across generations. Raw media alone cannot preserve the context that gives a family memory meaning.
The experience digitizes photographs, guides memory interviews, organizes verified people and events into a relationship graph, and turns grounded stories into shareable films or digital-human conversations.
Upload a photograph, recording, text, or video → route and parse the media → extract people, time, place, event, and relationships → clarify ambiguous facts with the user → write verified memories to the family graph → retrieve evidence with GraphRAG → reason within that evidence → answer or ask a focused follow-up → write the conversation back to memory.
The product is live as Family Echo Workshop, supporting a community-facing approach to preserving family and Nanyang memories.
