Giving the Past A Voice

Hi, I’m Matt Burks, the founder of Creative Reality AI — a service built to reimagine how we connect with history. With a passion for storytelling and a fascination for emerging tech, I help museums, families, and communities give voice to the stories of the past using AI-powered speaking avatars.

My mission is to preserve and celebrate history by transforming old photographs into lifelike digital storytellers. Whether it’s a local hero, a forgotten family member, or a historical figure waiting to be heard, I use the latest AI tools to help their stories live on in a compelling, human way.

At Creative Reality AI, it’s not just about animation — it’s about emotional connection. I combine cutting-edge AI with careful research and a deep respect for the people and stories I help bring back to life.

In fact, the pictures and video you see above are of my grandfather.  He spent nearly 100 years on the earth, and we simply don’t have enough video telling his stories and history.  Now we can have him tell our newest generation bedtime stories or give his history at the local museum!

If you’re ready to breathe life into the past — whether for an exhibit, a personal tribute, or something new entirely — I’d love to collaborate with you.
