Preface

The author firmly believes that what truly matters is not WeChat itself, but the profound stories hidden behind each chat window. In the future, everyone will be able to have AI companionship, and your data can provide it with precious memories of your past. The author hopes everyone has the right to preserve the traces of their lives‍‍️⛹️ rather than let them fade into oblivion.

The development of AI is not just about technological advancement, but also about the continuation of emotions. Every conversation and every interaction is a unique fragment of life, representing genuine and moving emotional exchanges. Therefore, the author hopes AI developers will make good use of their own data to train unique, personalized artificial intelligence. Let personal AI become a companion in everyday life, capable of understanding, recording, and sharing our laughter, tears, and growth.

One day, AI will no longer be an unattainable technology but will become part of ordinary people's everyday lives. Everyone will be able to have their own AI, bringing the power of technology into every aspect of daily life. This is a revolution in genuine human connection and an exploration of making technology more human-centered. Let us witness a brighter future together.

That is why we created "Trace".
