Meet the publisher behind Elefantia

Our Company

Elefantia is a French start-up for creating biographies, augmented by Artificial Intelligence. Elefantia offers those who want to share their life story with their loved ones complete support, ranging from personalized interviews to printing their biography. A mobile application allows the oral recording of the raw story, then the text editing, also available on computer. At different stages, artificial intelligence magnifies the text and improves the writing style.

Mission and Social Impact

Elefantia's mission is to empower everyone to share their life story in an accessible and enjoyable way. Our vision is to become the world leader in biography writing support, using the power of artificial intelligence to transform each personal story into a moving and memorable testimony.

Elefantia is also an intergenerational social bonding project, aiming to unite children, grandchildren and grandparents around the sharing of memories and life lessons. We firmly believe that telling and sharing personal stories can have beneficial effects on mental health, by improving memory, reducing stress and promoting a sense of personal accomplishment. We also believe in the positive impact on society of intergenerational transmission: we must understand the lives of our elders to realize how far we have come and not collectively repeat the mistakes of the past.

Our Values

At Elefantia, our core values guide our mission and define our company culture. We firmly believe that every story deserves to be told and preserved for future generations. Here are the values that inspire us every day:

We value intergenerational connections. Elefantia doesn’t just create biographies, we strengthen family relationships by encouraging the sharing of memories between grandparents and grandchildren. Each story is an opportunity to pass on a precious legacy and strengthen family ties.

We rely on technology, generative artificial intelligence (large language models) to magnify texts and improve writing style. Our artificial intelligence makes each story more engaging and fluid, allowing everyone to tell their story in an authentic and captivating way.

We are committed to delivering an exceptional user experience, providing intuitive and powerful tools to help our customers write their autobiography.

We believe that biography writing should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their familiarity with technology. Elefantia offers an affordable and easy-to-use solution, allowing a wide audience to document and share their life stories.

We combine technological innovation with a marketing model involving humans. The Silver-Economy facilitators and actors play a key role by prescribing and sometimes accompanying users throughout the process. This human support is essential to facilitate the adoption of our technology, particularly among people who are often reluctant or distant from digital innovations.

These values set us apart and allow us to create a meaningful impact by preserving life stories and strengthening family ties. For Elefantia, each biography is more than just a text, it is a living legacy for generations to come.
