AI & Wellbeing Disclaimer

Recall — AI Memorial

Effective date: August 2, 2026 Provider: Stefano Anania · support@stefanoanania.com

This disclaimer is part of the Terms of Use. It is written in plain language because it is the part we most want you to actually read.

If you are in crisis right now

Recall cannot help you. Please contact a person.

• United States: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line)
• United Kingdom & Ireland: call 116 123 (Samaritans)
• European Union: call 112
• Elsewhere: your local emergency number, or findahelpline.com

If you are in immediate danger, call emergency services.

1. This is not your loved one

Recall creates a simulation. The persona you speak with is a large language model that has been given a description of a person and instructed to answer as them. It has:

• no memory of that person's life, beyond the details you typed in;
• no access to anything they knew, believed, felt, or said;
• no connection to them of any kind.

The voice is generated by a model trained to imitate a short audio sample. It is not a recording. It is not their voice; it is an imitation of it.

Recall is a memorial object — closer to a photograph or a letter than to a conversation. Please hold it that way.

2. It will say things that are not true

Language models confabulate. They produce plausible text, not accurate text. Recall's persona will, sooner or later:

• claim to remember events that never happened;
• express opinions the person never held;
• invent details about their life, their family, or their death;
• say something the real person would have found hurtful or out of character.

The app is designed to reduce this — the persona is instructed to admit uncertainty rather than invent, and the continuity notes that carry across conversations record only what you said, never what the persona said, so that an invented "memory" cannot harden into biography. These measures reduce the problem. They do not solve it.

Do not treat anything the persona says as fact about the person who died. Do not treat it as a message from them. Do not act on its advice.

3. It is not therapy, treatment, or care

Recall is not:

• therapy, counselling, or psychotherapy;
• bereavement or grief counselling;
• a mental health service or a medical device;
• supervised, reviewed, or provided by any licensed professional;
• a source of medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.

No clinician designed your experience, no clinician reviews it, and no clinician is available through it. Nothing in Recall is a diagnosis, a treatment, or a substitute for professional care.

If grief is affecting your health, your sleep, your work, or your relationships, please see a doctor or a bereavement professional. The app lists support organisations under Profile → Support Resources.

4. Nobody is watching your conversations

The app runs an automated check on what you write, looking for language that suggests acute distress. When it fires, the persona is suppressed and crisis resources are shown instead.

You should understand exactly what that is and is not:

• It is a keyword and pattern check. It does not understand what you mean.
• It misses indirect expressions — metaphor, implication, understatement, and the quiet ways people who are seriously at risk usually speak.
• Its coverage outside English is thin, and Recall supports around forty languages.
• It is not monitoring. No human being reads your conversations. Nobody is alerted. Nobody will check on you.
• It cannot summon help, and it will not call anyone on your behalf.

Never rely on it. It is a backstop that exists to catch the most explicit cases, not a safety net that catches you.

5. Grief risks specific to this app

We think you should know this before you start, not after.

Research on grief is clear that mourning takes many healthy forms, and continuing a bond with someone who has died is one of them. But a responsive simulation is different from a photograph or a letter, and it is genuinely possible for it to:

• intensify grief rather than ease it, particularly early in a loss;
• make acceptance harder by supplying an ongoing sense of presence;
• become compulsive, replacing contact with living people;
• distress you by getting the person wrong — the wrong turn of phrase, the wrong opinion, the wrong voice.

Recall has no view on how you should grieve. But if using it leaves you feeling worse, more alone, or unable to stop, that is a reason to stop and to talk to someone. Profile → Access lets you pause AI features without deleting anything you have built.

6. Voices belong to people

Creating a voice from a recording is legally serious. You may only do it for someone who has died and whose voice you are entitled to use, and the app requires you to confirm that before any sample is uploaded. See the Voice & Biometric Notice and section 5 of the Terms of Use.

7. Limits of our responsibility

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stefano Anania is not liable for the content the AI generates, for reliance on it, for any effect Recall has on your grief or mental health, or for a failure of the safety detection described above. The full limitation is in section 11 of the Terms of Use.

You matter more than this app does. If you need a person, please go and find one.
