The Guide

A map isn't enough when you can't think straight.

The Guide is an AI companion included on every When I Croak plan. When your family activates your map, it speaks first — what matters today, who to call, what to say, and when to stop — using the real names, policies and contacts from your map.

Grief brain is real. Executors describe the first weeks as drowning in tasks they've never done, terrified of an irreversible mistake. Everyone else hands your family a PDF. We built something more.

WHAT YOUR FAMILY WILL HEAR · DAY 1 · 7:40 AM
I'm so sorry. You don't have to figure any of this out today. Only three things matter in the next 24 hours, and I'll walk you through each one. First: has the funeral home been called? Jason chose Anderson-McQueen. Their number is here — I can tell you exactly what to say.
A map, not a vault.We record where things are and who to call. We never store account numbers, passwords, or Social Security numbers.
Bank-grade security.AES-256 encryption, mandatory two-factor for every family member, SOC 2 infrastructure, cyber-liability insured.

What it actually does.

Real call scripts

Uses the actual attorney, carriers and contacts from your map. Not a template — your script for your accounts.

Pre-drafted letters

Bank notifications, employer letters, subscription cancellations — drafted from your real map, ready to send.

Emotional pacing

Explicit permission to stop. It tells your family when they've done enough for today. It never pushes when they need to breathe.

"Do NOT pay that bill yet — creditors can wait. The funeral home cannot." The Guide, day one

It only knows what you told it.

The Guide is grounded in your map and nothing else. It never invents an account, a contact, or a policy. If something isn't in the map, it says so — and tells your family who might know.

Included on every plan

Your family shouldn't have to pay more to be walked through the worst day of their life. If they get the map, they get The Guide.

Switches on at activation

It waits. Trusted contacts activate the map when the time comes, after two-factor authentication.

No advice, ever

Legal, tax and financial questions go to your attorney, CPA and advisor — whose names are in your map.

Give them a guide,
not a PDF.

Two minutes to see the gaps. One evening to build the map.
