What is MyHeritage’s AI Time Machine and how long does it take?

AI is all the rage at the moment and MyHeritage has jumped on the bandwagon.

The online genealogy platform launched the clever service at the end of last year.

Everyone’s been trying the AI Time Machine

Here’s what all the fuss is about.

What is the AI Time Machine?

MyHeritage’s AI Time Machine is a special tool that allows you to transform yourself into historical figures.

The feature has gone viral across the world with its impressive arty results.

All you have to do is upload photos of yourself and AI Time Machine will come back with your very own avatar.

It shows you how you might have looked at different periods in history.

You can see yourself from the pre-historic times, through to the age of space exploration.

Or check yourself out as an Egyptian pharaoh and even a medieval knight, a 19th-century lord or lady.

All you need to do is upload 10 to 25 photos of yourself taken at different angles – the more the better.

AI time Machine is not free.

There are various packages available.

You can get the avatar package with 300 images for £10.

The time travel package comes with 500 images for £12.

Or there’s the all in-inclusive package with 800 images for £18.

You can get some free though if you start a trial for the first month – just be sure to cancel it before the month is up if you don’t want to pay.

It usually takes somewhere between 30 and 90 minutes to create the initial model.

You’ll get an email once it’s all ready to view.
