Can AI create a funeral presentation for me?

Yes, it can — but not with ChatGPT or other general AI chatbots. With the AI Wizard from The Last Farewell, you can have a complete funeral presentation created for you. The AI asks targeted questions, analyzes your photos, and automatically creates a beautiful presentation — including order and timing.

Why ChatGPT can't do this

General AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini can give you advice about a funeral presentation, but they cannot create one for you. There are several reasons for this:

No access to your files

ChatGPT cannot see, open, or process your photos. The chatbot runs in a browser and has no access to the files on your computer or phone.

No knowledge of your specific situation

A general AI doesn't know how many photos you have, how long the music lasts, or how many speakers there are. You would have to explain everything manually — and even then, the AI cannot create a presentation.

No execution capability

Even if ChatGPT knew what should be in the presentation, it cannot generate a PowerPoint file with your photos, music, and transitions. That requires software that actually works with your files.

No structure for funeral services

General AIs don't understand how a funeral service is structured — with entrance, music pieces, speakers, and exit. They don't know that photos during a speaker should be paused, or that entrance and exit play on repeat.

Why the AI Wizard can do this

The AI Wizard from The Last Farewell is specifically built for funeral presentations. The difference with general AI chatbots:

What ChatGPT cannot do:

• No access to your photos
• Cannot analyze photos
• Doesn't know how long your music lasts
• Doesn't understand the structure of a funeral service
• Cannot create a presentation
• Cannot export to PowerPoint

What the AI Wizard can do:

• Access to your securely uploaded photos
• Recognizes categories (portrait, family, hobbies) and estimated age
• Automatically calculates timing based on music duration
• Knows the structure: entrance, music pieces, speakers, exit
• Creates a complete presentation
• Exports directly to PowerPoint, ready for the funeral home

The AI Wizard is integrated into The Last Farewell and therefore has access to your photos, music, and the complete structure of the presentation.

How does the AI Wizard work?

The AI Wizard works through a friendly chat conversation. You don't need any technical knowledge — the AI guides you step by step.

Step 1: Collect content

First, the AI asks you to add photos and music. You click the buttons in the chat to go to the upload pages. Once you're done, the AI continues.

Step 2: Determine planning

The AI asks what the service looks like:

• How many speakers are there?
• How long does each speaker speak?
• Do you want to use the standard layout or create your own?

You can also choose "Let AI decide" — then the AI makes all choices itself based on your content.

Step 3: Distribute photos

The AI calculates how many photos are needed per section and suggests a distribution. You see thumbnails of the suggested photos and can make adjustments.

Step 4: Create presentation

After your confirmation, the AI creates the complete presentation. You can still make adjustments in the editor afterward.

What does the AI do exactly?

The AI does:

• Analyze photos — the AI recognizes portraits, group photos, events, hobbies, and more
• Calculate timing — based on the music duration, the AI calculates how many photos are needed per section
• Create planning — the AI suggests a logical order (entrance, music pieces, speakers, exit)
• Distribute photos — chronologically, by theme, or a smart mix
• Answer questions — you can ask questions in the chat conversation

The AI does not:

• Choose music — you choose which music you want to use yourself
• Place videos — you add videos yourself later at the desired moment
• Make final decisions — you can adjust or reject any proposal

"Let AI decide" — how does that work?

If you choose "Let AI decide", you only need to tell how many speakers there are and how long they speak. The AI then makes all choices itself:

• Entrance with portrait photos on repeat
• Music pieces with all photos distributed
• Speakers at logical moments
• Exit with photos on repeat

You can still give extra instructions, for example: "I want the childhood photos with the first music piece" or "Please three music pieces instead of two."

What if I don't like the AI proposal?

No problem. You can:

• Ask the AI for an alternative
• Swap photos yourself via the thumbnails
• Adjust in the editor after creation

AI proposals are never final. You decide.

Privacy and security

Your photos remain on The Last Farewell's secure servers. The AI only analyzes them to recognize categories and estimated age — no photos are shared with third parties.

Does the AI cost extra?

No. The AI Wizard is part of The Last Farewell. There are no extra costs for using the AI.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use the AI?

No, the AI Wizard is optional. You can also create the presentation entirely yourself in the editor.

Does the AI work in Dutch?

Yes, the AI Wizard works fully in Dutch and English. The language adapts to your preference.

Can the AI also place videos?

The AI can recognize videos, but does not place them automatically. You add videos yourself in the editor at exactly the moment you want.

How smart is the AI?

The AI analyzes your photos and takes timing and variation into account. The result is a logical, well-timed presentation. The AI doesn't know your loved one, but can create a professional foundation that you refine yourself.

What if I don't have music?

The AI can create a planning without music. You can add music later, or use the presentation without music.
