RootWise combines the power of AI with billions of historical records to build your family tree — then lets you converse with ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot to dig deeper into every branch.
Works with your favourite AI assistants
From census records to ship manifests, RootWise searches where you can't — then presents what it finds in a living, growing tree you can explore and share.
Our engine combs genealogy databases, digitized newspapers, military records, church archives, and government documents from 180+ countries — in real time.
Upload your DNA results from any major provider. RootWise cross-references genetic markers with recorded family lines to surface relatives you never knew existed.
Watch your ancestors move across continents. An animated map traces each generation's journey — from village origins to the place you call home today.
Turn dates and records into compelling narratives. AI writes biographies of each ancestor based on verified facts, historical context, and family documents.
Invite family members to contribute photos, letters, and memories. Every addition strengthens the tree and notifies the whole family instantly.
Living relatives are always kept private. You control exactly who sees which branches — share publicly, with family only, or keep it entirely to yourself.
Connect your tree to the world's most powerful AI assistants. Ask questions in plain language, get answers drawn from your own family data — and share discoveries with a click.
Send your tree data directly to ChatGPT for deep conversational research. Ask about historical events your ancestors lived through, generate obituaries, or explore "what if" scenarios about missing branches.
Claude's nuanced reasoning excels at analysing complex family relationships and conflicting records. Share documents and let Claude reconcile discrepancies, suggest research paths, and surface unexpected connections.
Copilot integrates natively with Word and Excel to help you build family history books, format timelines, and generate shareable reports — all pre-populated with your RootWise data.
No genealogy expertise needed. Enter what you know and let RootWise — and your chosen AI — do the searching.
Start with your name, birthdate, and a few relatives. That's all it takes to plant your tree.
RootWise scans billions of records across archives, databases, and historical documents — automatically.
Confirm matches, add photos and stories, then invite family to fill the gaps from their own memories.
Connect to ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot to ask questions, generate stories, and share discoveries.
Real families, real revelations. Here's what members have uncovered using RootWise and AI together.
I asked Claude to analyse a ship manifest I uploaded and within minutes it had connected my great-great-grandfather to a family in County Cork we never knew existed. Three cousins reached out within the week.
Using ChatGPT through RootWise I was able to write a full biography of my grandmother based on the records the platform found. She passed before I could ask her these things. This felt like having the conversation I never got to have.
Copilot turned my RootWise tree into a 40-page family history book in under an hour. My whole family received a copy at Christmas. My uncle cried when he saw photos of his grandfather's village in Poland.
