Ethics
Did a machine write my mother’s eulogy?
You did the remembering. You shared the stories. Youlogy did the shaping. Every memory, fact and story came from you. It asked the questions and turned your answers into something that works when spoken. Youlogy is designed not to add anything about them that you did not share.
What Youlogy does
Shape what you share.
Youlogy arranges your answers into a structure built for speaking aloud: sequence, length and pauses.
Keep your vocabulary.
If you say Mom, it says Mom. Youlogy smooths the writing without making you sound like someone else.
Keep you in control.
You decide what belongs in the final eulogy. On Remembrance and Legacy, you can ask for changes.
What Youlogy never does
Invent a memory.
Youlogy is designed not to add a detail, quality or anecdote you did not share.
Train on your words.
What you share with Youlogy is not used to train AI models.
Sell your words.
Youlogy does not sell what you share or use it for advertising.
Clone a voice.
Youlogy will not clone or synthesize your voice or the voice of the person you are remembering. The reading voice lets you hear how the words sound aloud.
What “nothing is invented” actually means
It is easy to promise. Here is exactly what we mean: Youlogy is designed not to add a fact, quality or quotation that does not come from what you shared.
It can reorder what you said, cut repetition and join two things you shared into one sentence. It can ask follow-up questions about something you mentioned. It is designed not to decide that your mother was warm, generous or the heart of the family unless you shared that with Youlogy.
When there is not enough to work with, it is designed to ask rather than fill the gap.
What you shared
she kept a running list of everyone who ever wronged her. four pages. laminated. read it out at christmas for a laugh
How Youlogy shaped it
Dot kept a running list of everyone who had ever wronged her. It was four pages long, it was laminated, and she read from it at Christmas for laughs.
Nothing added. Her name was in an earlier answer. The list, the four pages, the laminating, the Christmas reading and the joke all came from what you shared.
The questions people actually ask
Is it dishonest to use this at a funeral?
No. People get help with almost every other part of a funeral. You still choose the memories, the facts and what stays in the final version. Youlogy helps shape your answers into something authentic that you can say aloud with more confidence.
Should I say I used it?
That is your call. It is like getting help with a wedding speech: there is no obligation to mention it. If someone asks, the honest answer is that you answered questions about her and edited what came back.
How is this different from any other writing tool?
A general AI writing tool can give you something fluent that could be about anybody. The difference is the questions. Youlogy’s questions were built by a speechwriter to find the specific details that make a eulogy about one person, and Youlogy is designed not to invent something to fill a gap. Ask a general tool and it may tell you your mother lit up every room she entered.
What if I hate what it gives me?
On Remembrance and Legacy, you can ask for changes and get up to five new versions. Tribute gives you one draft, so take your time with your answers.
