This is really helpful, thank you. I have just started to use AI in family research. I have created an agent and asked it to provide historical context. I started with a search that I thought I knew the facts for (my father's parents/siblings). The AI agent has made me question whether there were other children (stillborn or who didn't live long) – something I have never considered (my father was the youngest, and his parents both died when he was young, so he probably wouldn't have been told). Something to research!
The historical context has taught me so much already, and being able to learn more about what life would have been like for my grandparents in rural Ireland and then in New York City was fascinating.
I have kept a conversation going for a while – thanks to your article, I know now that it's best to keep starting afresh. Thank you!

This is awesome to hear. AI really does help us fill in gaps of knowledge in an instant.
Thanks Denyse - super helpful!
