Architectural Walkthrough

The Architecture of Truth

Discover how Echoes ensures that artificial intelligence serves as an objective lens for human memory, rather than an author of fiction.

STAGE 01

Capture & Secure Storage

01

Original Media Preserved Immutably

When you record a voice note or upload a vintage family photograph, the binary is immediately stored in private cloud object storage. Each file receives a SHA-256 cryptographic checksum and is strictly scoped to your tenant. Raw storage keys are never exposed to clients.

Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, MP3, M4A, WAV
Cryptographic checksum verification prevents file corruption
Private by default with short-lived, signed access URLs
STAGE 02

Multimodal AI Inference

02

Extraction Without Fabrication

Specialized vision and audio processors inspect your media. Vision models extract scene elements, visible text, and setting clues without inventing human identities. Whisper transcribes audio verbatim with millisecond segment timestamps.

Zero autonomous identification: AI will not guess unknown relatives
Whisper diarization segments speech by speaker and timestamp
All AI processing outputs are strictly validated against typed Zod schemas
STAGE 03

Synthesizing Grounded Facts

03

Mapping Memories to Primary Evidence

The Echoes synthesizer aggregates multimodal observations into structured memory proposals. Every factual claim is coupled with an exact source locator (e.g. 'Photo EXIF' or 'Audio 01:24–01:52'). Uncertainty is marked explicitly rather than smoothed over.

Proposals enter a PENDING_REVIEW state for human verification
Entity links map known family members, locations, and eras
Confidence scores (CONFIRMED, LIKELY, UNKNOWN) communicate reliability
STAGE 04

Conversational Rediscovery

04

Answers Grounded in Verifiable Evidence

When you converse with Echoes, the agent executes grounded queries against PostgreSQL. It cannot cite external training data as personal memory. If your archive does not contain the answer, the agent explicitly acknowledges the knowledge gap.

Every response cites specific photos, audio segments, and verified facts
Streaming responses with real-time thought-process and tool transparency
Zero hallucinations: if you ask about a date with no record, Echoes admits it
