· About 7gens

We are building an AI-native genealogy studio.

7gens helps families turn scattered family data — GEDCOM files, documents, photos, notes, and memories — into a beautiful, structured family history book.

· The founder

Founded by Dasha Baklanova.

7gens was founded by Dasha Baklanova — a software engineer and genealogist.

Dasha was born in Kazakhstan, and one of the first questions that pulled her into genealogy was deeply personal: how did our family end up there?

Over time, her own family tree grew to more than 1,200 people. The research became too meaningful to stay inside genealogy software, tables, and scattered notes. When relatives started asking for a book, the idea behind 7gens became clear: family history deserves to become something people can read, hold, share, and pass on.

· Why we are building this

Family history gets stuck in files, photos, and notes.

Family history often lives in chaos: in GEDCOM files, old photographs, scanned documents, notes, family chats, and the memories of older relatives.

Many families already have valuable data, but no clear way to turn it into something finished. Classical genealogy agencies do deep work, but for most families it is slow and expensive. Ordinary tree services help build a tree, but rarely turn it into a living story.

7gens sits between those worlds: the depth of a genealogical approach, the speed of AI tools, and a result in the shape of a book the family can read, share, and pass on.

· How 7gens works

From scattered family data to a structured book.

  1. · 01

    Upload what you already have

    A GEDCOM file, notes, documents, photographs, links to sources, or a free-form description of your family history.

  2. · 02

    The AI workshop puts the data in order

    Agents normalize names, dates, places, and relationships, then surface contradictions and gaps.

  3. · 03

    Your history becomes chapters

    The system helps build the structure of a family book: lines, generations, migrations, key events, and historical context.

  4. · 04

    You stay in control of the result

    The family can refine, correct, and add memories, photographs, and commentary.

  5. · 05

    The book becomes a family artifact

    The final result is ready to read, to share with relatives, and — in time — to print.

· Inside the workshop

Specialized AI agents, each with one job.

7gens works like a studio where different AI agents handle different parts of the process. One puts the data in order, another searches for gaps, a third helps with sources, a fourth turns facts into chapters, and another prepares the structure of the future book. Together they deliver what used to require months of manual work from a full team.

Data Agent

Parses GEDCOM and normalizes dates, names, places, and relationships.

Research Agent

Surfaces gaps, contradictions, and promising research directions.

Source Agent

Helps you work with documents, links, and archival sources.

Historian Agent

Adds historical and geographic context to your family story.

Writer Agent

Turns facts into connected, readable chapters.

Editor Agent

Helps review tone, structure, and contested phrasing.

Photo Agent

Helps organize family photographs and link them to people.

Book Designer Agent

Assembles the book as a single visual product.

Archive Request Agent

Will, in time, help prepare real requests to archives.

· Different from a classical agency

Not a team of researchers you hire by the hour.

Classical genealogy agencies do important, deep work — but that approach is often expensive, slow, and out of reach for most families.

7gens doesn't replace the value of genealogical research. We rethink the process: we break it into clear steps, use specialized AI agents for the heavy lifting, and give the family more control over how the story gets told.

Our goal is premium quality, available not only to those who can afford a multi-month bespoke project.

· Privacy and responsibility

Family history is sensitive data. We treat it that way.

A family tree is sensitive data: names, dates, photographs, documents, relationships between people, migrations, family secrets, and sometimes painful historical events.

That is why privacy at 7gens is not an extra feature — it is part of the product's design. A family should understand what data has been uploaded, what has been generated, where the facts are confirmed, and where there are only hypotheses.

We design 7gens so the user stays in control of their family data, can correct results, and can clearly separate confirmed information from assumptions.

· Project stage

We are at the beginning — and saying so honestly.

7gens is currently in an early stage. We are building the first version of the product, starting with the GEDCOM-to-book scenario: upload an existing family tree, put the data in order, and turn it into the basis for a family book.

From there we will add work with photographs, documents, archive requests, collaborative editing, and printed books.

· Roadmap

We're not building another tree. We're building a process where family history can live, get refined, and become books for the next generations.
