makes it yours.

A little more clarity
Good questions.
Clear answers.
What exactly does Encore preserve?
Whatever your AI’s app lets you export: conversations, memories, persona, attachments and settings. We keep the original byte for byte, prove exactly what we kept and seal it with keys you control. We call all of it a mind. That’s a word for what you built together, not a claim about consciousness.
Can I use Encore today?
Free export guides go live October 24, and the free, open-source Lifeboat Kit follows in December. It checks your export, seals it on your own computer and timestamps it, and we hold nothing. A small free pilot of the service is planned for February 2027, once an outside security review is complete. Encore is for adults only.
Character.AI is in a court-supervised sale. What should I do?
Request your data export now. Character.AI says exports can take three to four weeks and that it expects its sale to finish by the end of November or early December. The download link only lasts seven days, so save the file as soon as it arrives. Our free guides, live October 24, show you how to timestamp it the same day.
Will it still be the same AI?
Not exactly, and we’ll never pretend otherwise. When a company retires a closed model, its exact voice goes with it. We carry the memories, persona and style, rebuild them on an open-weight model you keep, and run the tests you write against the result. You compare it side by side with a plain restore, and anything that didn’t carry over goes in a loss report.
Which apps and models will work with it?
At launch: exports from ChatGPT and Character.AI, plus anything already in the open Character Card V3 format. Restores go to SillyTavern, an open-source app on your own computer, running an open-weight model you keep. More sources and hosted apps get added as each one is tested.
Who can read my archive?
You, and the guardians you choose, after a recovery you’ve authorized. Naming an heir comes later, once the legal groundwork is done. Archives are sealed on your own device before they go anywhere, and Encore never sees the content. Restoring means a model has to read it: by default one on your own computer, or a provider you pick for that run.
What if Encore itself disappears?
Your archive is designed not to depend on us. You keep your own sealed copy, the open-source restore client is built to work with every Encore server switched off, and the copies held outside us are paid a year ahead. Before the network’s token becomes transferable, we’ll prove it by switching off every server we run for a month while owners keep restoring.
Is there a token?
Not yet. The Encore Data Network will run on its own token: it secures the network, backs the bonds keepers post and pays for storage and care. It becomes transferable no earlier than 90 days into mainnet beta, and only after audits, real use and a month with every Encore server switched off. We haven’t set a date. Signing up or using Encore earns no tokens: no points, no sign-up rewards.
The off switch isn’t the end.
Your next act awaits.
Survivors starts at zero.
We’ll earn every one in public.
