Goldie May's AI Assistant

AI built for genealogy

What can the AI assistant do?

Fine-tuned specifically for genealogy research. It can reach sources that other AI services can’t. And it has enterprise-grade privacy.

Analyze your ancestors
Bring in an ancestor from any web-based tree. The AI reads and analyzes what you have and suggests what to do next.
Search for records
It runs searches across FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, and newspaper sites like Newspapers.com, GenealogyBank, and Storied.
Evaluate results
Don’t just get a list of results. The AI evaluates what it finds and explains which records are most promising.
Write citations & transcribe
Let AI handle the tedious work: writing citations and transcribing handwritten documents.
Works with any tree
FamilySearch, Ancestry, or any web-based tree. Screenshot your ancestor or connect directly to FamilySearch.
Enterprise-grade privacy
Your data is never trained on. Your data is only used by you.
Your choice of AI model
Pick from several leading AI models to take advantage of their various strengths.

Genealogy-specific tools

Projects
Organize your research into projects, each with an objective, subjects, and research plan. Great for client work or all your family lines.
Research log
Mark each item in your log as a positive or negative result. Write abstracts and comments. Search your log. Export it to a spreadsheet.
Automatic research log
Turn it on, then start researching. Goldie May keeps a list of all the sites you visit, rabbit holes and all.
Screenshots
Take screenshots and save them directly to your research log.
Citations
On known websites, citations are created for you.
Snapshots of your windows & tabs
Too many browser tabs open? Take a snapshot and save them for later. Let's call it rabbit-hole insurance.
Accessible from anywhere
Your data is stored in the cloud. Access your projects from the library, an archive, or your nearest FamilySearch center.
Subway Map
See where your ancestor lived over time with this unique timeline tool. See census and newspaper hints in context. See county and state boundary changes in context.
Newspaper coverage tool

Catalog of catalogs
See what collections the big genealogy and newspaper sites have for a given time and place and quickly go there.

About & Contact

On a personal note, I'm a software developer who worked in tech roles at three genealogy companies. Now I'm building Goldie May to be the tool I want for my own genealogy research. I hope it's also useful to you!

Goldie is my great-grandmother's name and May comes from a beloved ancestor on my wife's side of the family.

If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you!
