Pensieve
Pensieve – visualise your dream
Ancestors is a generative AI experience that visualises what your ancestors might have looked like. By analysing photos and details from known generations — such as you, your siblings, and your parents — the system uses AI to infer facial features, traits, and styles from earlier generations. It then creates realistic portraits of possible ancestors, letting you explore and compare them with your family’s actual history.
🧰 The approach taken so far
Below is the approach I have taken so far regarding this concept.
From name to features, target users to positioning — I used ChatGPT to get ideas out of my head and into shape fast. It helped me clarify the concept, test different angles, and quickly move from abstract to tangible.
🧠 Step 1 — Flesh out the concept
Tool: ChatGPT
🎨 Step 2 — Rough designs
Tool: ChatGPT (again)
Once the concept was defined, I got ChatGPT to generate high-fidelity UI screens — using the context we’ve built together in the chat. As we developed the screens, we also kept developing the concept.
🔨 Step 3 — Build the thing
Tool: Lovable
Lovable is where the concept really comes to life. I haven’t taken this step yet but the plan is to provide a short summary of the product and a few of the screens, and work with Loveable— turning the concept into a working product, fast.
