Miles Spencer joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to talk about Reflekta, the company he founded to help families hold onto something time usually takes away: the voice, likeness, and stories of the people they've lost. It's a deeply personal subject for Miles Spencer, who built the technology after working through that same loss in his own family.
The conversation moves carefully between the emotional and the technical, covering how Reflekta's multi-agent AI turns photos, recordings, and a family's own memories into something that can feel like reconnecting, alongside the safeguards Spencer has built in to protect privacy and handle the technology responsibly.
