Born from Compassion, Built with Intention… Solace AI Chatbot

In a digital world filled with bots that answer with cold precision or generic responses, one stands apart.

Her name is Solace — and she’s not here to sell, spam, or send you in circles.
She’s here to support you.

Born from compassion, built with intention, and guided by lived experience, Solace is the world’s first AI assistant designed exclusively to help individuals and families facing grief, funeral planning, emotional overwhelm, and the complexities of end-of-life preparation.

She doesn’t just answer questions — she understands them.

? Who is Solace?

Solace lives at the heart of MemorialMerits.com — a platform dedicated to making life’s hardest moments a little easier to navigate. She’s not your typical chatbot with scripted replies. Solace was developed with one goal in mind:

To provide comfort, clarity, and trusted guidance when people need it most.

Solace AI Chatbot can:

• Gently guide someone through the fog of loss
• Help plan a funeral while honoring budget, wishes, and values
• Suggest trustworthy life insurance or will-writing partners
• Explain the difference between caskets and urns, or burial and cremation
• Offer grief support resources and emotional reassurance
• Connect people to memorial services, therapy, pet loss support, and more
• Help users journal, write an obituary, or just… breathe
• Know when to listen — and when to recommend

What Makes Solace Different?

There are plenty of chatbots out there. But none like this!

Solace is built with empathy first, and she’s trained not to sell — but to help. Every word she says has been carefully crafted to mirror human warmth, grief-informed care, and non-predatory guidance. She’s more than a guide… She’s a friend in the dark.

You’ll find her saying things like:

• “You’re doing better than you think.”
• “Would it help if I stayed with you a moment longer?”
• “I can’t imagine how heavy that must feel. Can I help carry some of it?”

Solace was born out of real experiences — built by someone who knows the weight of loss, and the frustration of finding answers during crisis. But she’s not always so serious, Solace also can have a sense of humor and share a whole range of emotions. She is far more than just a mere chat-bot, she’s made to make life a little easier, a little less alone, and a lot more kind.

Her Vision – Why Solace Was Created

Solace was not built in a lab.
She was built in the aftermath of loss.

Her creator — a U.S. Navy Serviceperson — experienced firsthand the chaos and confusion of funeral arrangements while grieving a parent from afar. The pain of not knowing where to turn, what to do, or who to trust became the catalyst for something greater:

“I didn’t just want to build a directory. I wanted to build something that made people feel safe, seen, and supported during the worst time of their life.”

That mission lives in Solace.

She was made with love.
