An AI assistant that builds your tree for you

Tell it about your family in your own words – Family Copilot works out who is who and adds everyone to your tree. Lives in the Roots app.

Puts everyone in place

Write “My mom is Mary, my dad is John” – and they are already in the tree, correctly connected.

Asks you and your relatives

You first – and if you allow it, it messages your family and asks them what you don’t remember.

Listens to the stories

Once the basics are in, it asks about photos, character and moments from their life – if you want to share.

Family Copilot beta in the Roots app

Tell me about your family in your own words: who is who and their names. I will put everyone in place.

My mom is Mary, my dad is John. My wife is Emily, my son is Danny.

Added four: mom Mary, dad John, wife Emily and son Danny. They are all in your tree now.

Added 4 relatives

Become the founder —
adopt your family arms

Whoever adopts the arms first becomes the founder: from then on the whole family bears them — children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren.

Family coat of arms
  • ✦

    Drawn by an AI herald

    It asks about your surname and your family to reflect them in the arms — and drafts the family story from the relatives already in your tree.

  • ✦

    By the rules of real heraldry

    Two metals and five colours, the rule of tinctures, described by blazon. Not a picture on a shield, but arms that hold up to an expert eye.

  • ✦

    Passed to descendants

    One person adopts them, the whole family bears them. Through the female line equally with the male.

  • ✦

    Nobody else has it

    Once adopted, the arms belong to your family — no one else can take the same ones.
