You've got questions, we've got answers!
You may be wondering...
Is Eternaview an end-to-end dating app?
No and that’s by design to save you time and effort.
Instead, Eternaview lets you create an interactive videos that you can share directly with potential matches on any platform you prefer. By focusing on providing you with a powerful tool rather than a closed network, we eliminate the barriers that often make new dating apps ineffective.
Is Eternaview integrated with any other dating apps?
No, it’s not. On the one hand that can limit where you can share your Eternaview on certain dating apps (in some cases only after you both “swipe right”). But we believe this is more than offset by the flexibility to use it across the multiple dating apps you may now be on or will be in the future. It also permits you to share it across social media and other forums.
So how do I share my Eternaview?
You will be provided a link to your Eternaview that can be shared. There is no single set way to share it.
Some dating apps will allow you to share a link in your profile section, enabling you to share it before you both swipe right. Sometimes it’s only practical or most timely afterwards. Of course you can also introduce it in your your profile indirectly, and make your profile more intriguing by adding something like “Feel free to ask if you’d like to chat with my interactive video!”
You can also share mention of and a link to your Eternaview through social media, although you’ll have to use your own discretion as to what you want to post publicly, what belongs just in a DM to someone, etc.
If you have the potential recipient’s email, you can also send them an invite to view your Eternaview (similar to just sharing a link).
Or maybe you have a friend that will share it with one of their friends or acquaintances to help judge if there’s a potential match.
How will a viewer connect with me if they like my Eternaview?
They can reach out to you wherever you first shared your Eternaview with them (dating app, social media, through a friend, etc.)
Will my Eternaview or other people's Eternaviews be visible publicly on Eternaview.com?
Eternaviews are primarily intended to be shared privately through the methods described in the previous answer, and then potential matches can respond back to you through those other channels.
We do include a handful of public samples on the site in order to give visitors a sense of how the service works, however, we encourage most creators to leave their Eternaview at the default private setting.
What is appropriate or inappropriate for an Eternaview?
You want to put your best foot forward and let people get to know you. Honesty is better than deceit, but an Eternaview is also probably not the place to reveal bombshells and certainly nothing R-rated. While your Eternaview may be private on our website, it’s not feasible for us to block people from screen recording your video or to control who might eventually see it.
How hard is it to create one?
We’ve tried to make the process as simple as possible and have it work across the webcams/cameras of most computers and mobile devices. You can skip anything that is irrelevant or uncomfortable to answer. You can also take a break anytime or edit any of your answers at a later date.
How long it will take you depends largely on how many of the ~100 questions you answer – the more you answer, the richer the conversation. So it could be anywhere from only 30 minutes, if you limit your number of answers and nail everything on the first take, to a few hours if you answer almost everything, are very talkative, or like to do re-takes.
But loneliness is… well, lonely. It stinks. And your romantic life is worth it – we really think putting effort into an Eternaview can increase your odds of finding a match.
Is this the same thing as an AI girlfriend or boyfriend?
Absolutely not. Loneliness stinks and we’re not judging folks who look to an AI companion of some sort. But this is not that. A human being cared for by another human, who is giving the other a portion of their finite time on this earth, is just so much more special (in our minds anyway). An Eternaview is an interactive interview of an actual person and is just intended to help bring two humans together.
Is Eternaview a web app or is it a native mobile app?
Eternaview.com/home-dating/ is technically a web app. This approaches allows your Eternaview to be shared and used across just about all devices.
Is there a charge to viewers?
Nope.
What's included with a subscription?
A subscription covers the recording of your video Eternaview, storage and sharing from the cloud, and full interactivity. For the full list of what’s included with a subscription, see the Pricing page.
How does it work?
What is an Eternaview?
An Eternaview is an interactive video interview that you create on this site. It allows others to go beyond just watching and instead actively engage with your responses.
The first way – and this is the real magic – the viewer can just ask a question like they would in a normal conversation. Alternatively, they can also type in their question. Then, our natural language platform, through AI, retrieves the best answers from the recorded interview.
The viewer also has the option to just click among a list of questions that the creator can respond to.
Is the interaction with a real human or is it some sort of avatar or deepfake?
An Eternaview is not an avatar or deepfake. The responses given to a viewer are the actual recordings made by a human – they won’t cover everything but there’s plenty in terms of personal info, relationship goals, career, and so much more. We utilize AI to enable this interactivity, but it is intended to remain a very human experience.
Why do I need Eternaview for creating an interview versus other options?
We believe the ability for the viewer to ask a question using natural language creates a much more personalized experience for the viewer than they might achieve through traditional viewing of a video. The ability to see an index of all questions addressed in an Eternaview also gives the viewer the ability to know all questions that were addressed in a recording; this permits them to quickly get the answer they want, whether by asking the question or clicking on it in the index.
We believe that Eternaview’s curated list of questions also facilitates great interviews and that the user interface provides for easy recording and storage of a video interview and for inviting others to interact with it.
Can I see the interview questions before I subscribe?
Yes, you can preview them from the Create page.
What if the questions that are asked during the creation of my Eternaview don’t match exactly what I want to talk about?
You can skip any individual question or even whole module that isn’t relevant to your life or which you might just not want to answer.
What will happen to my Eternaview as technology, including AI and natural language processing, evolve?
We believe that the interactions viewers have with your Eternaview will improve over time as the AI improves and as we continue training the models.
Devices and Hardware
What devices can I use for creating or interacting with an Eternaview? - iPhone, Android Phones, PC (Desktop/Laptop), and Tablet?
Except for some very old hardware or versions of software, the product should work with most major browsers (e.g. Chrome, Safari, etc.) and virtually all:
- Personal computers (desktop and laptop) running windows or macOS (Apple)
- Mobile phones running Android or iOS (Apple)
- iPADs
We continue to test on other devices such as Android tablets, Surfaces, and Chromebooks.
Does my device have a camera?
Virtually all smart phones, tablets, and laptop computers would have a built-in camera/webcam. A desktop computer may or may not have a webcam, depending on whether you purchased an external one.
What do I need to record sound for my Eternaview?
You can use the:
- Built-in microphone on your webcam or phone; or
- Headphones with a built-in microphone; or
- External microphone.
You can test your microphone with a practice Eternaview. Built-in microphones on webcams may not capture the highest sound quality.
If I record an Eternaview on one type of device, can I and other people watch the recording from a different type of device?
Yes. Because we are using a web-based platform, an Eternaview can be recorded, edited, or watched from any of the devices we mentioned above.
Do I have to download any software?
Nope – the Eternaview platform is all web-based. You just need a stable internet connection.
Why can’t I get the site to recognize my external webcam rather than the webcam that is built into my computer?
Go to your “Device Manager”. Expand the “camera” section. If it shows both the external webcam and the webcam built-into your computer, select the webcam built-into your computer and click on the “Action” tab at top. Then click “disable”. Now please try to see if Eternaview works with your external webcam. After you are done, you may want to again “enable” your built-in webcam in the Device Manager, if you would like it to be recognized by other applications.
Recording and Editing
Before I do a video Eternaview, how do I know what the quality of the video and sound will be?
You can complete a quick Practice Eternaview and then Interact with it for a few minutes. That will give you a sense of the quality of the video and sound, and whether you need to adjust the position of your camera, lights or microphone. It’s a good idea to interact with it on a computer monitor so you get a sense of the video quality on a large screen (as opposed to a smaller phone screen).
Where is my Eternaview stored?
We store your Eternaview on AWS (Amazon Web Services). We also provide you the ability to download your Eternaview on your local drive [the AI-enabled interactivity will not work in that locally-stored version, but at least you will have an individual video copy of each of your answers for safe-keeping and which you should be able to play like any traditional video].
I am not technologically adept. Is this going to be too hard?
We think you will find the process pretty simple and intuitive. Our system should automatically detect if everything is working properly with your camera, webcam and microphone and let you know if you have to “allow” access for our application. You will also be able to give the process a practice run before committing to a purchase. Just go to the “Home” or “Create” page from the main menu, and click the “Practice” button.
If you do have problems, though, with your equipment after subscribing, please just reach out to support@eternaview.com. In most cases we should be able to resolve your issue. If we can’t, you can request a refund.
Can I use either the front or rear camera on my phone or tablet?
In most cases, either should work, but it is only practical to use the rear camera if someone else is holding the device to record you.
Should mobile phones and tablets be positioned vertically (portrait mode) or horizontally (landscape mode)?
Either can work. You can do a practice Eternaview first to see which way is easier for you to record in and which seems to better frame you in your setting.
Portrait may be a little easier in terms of keeping your recording finger out of the shot.
Because of the layout of the web app buttons relative to the location of the camera, it may also not appear like you’re looking at the camera when you record yourself in landscape on a mobile device.
Sometimes it can be helpful to have a holder or tripod for the phone, or a family member or friend that can record you.
How do I position myself for the interview? Can I record myself doing activities?
One approach is to sit fairly still like you might in a typical interview or conversation, keep the camera steady, maintain the same background, and stay a constant distance from the camera throughout creation of the Eternaview. That said, it’s also perfectly fine to have fun with it and move the camera around in order to conduct the interview across a range of locations. For instance, questions such as “Are you a good dancer and do you like to go dancing?” and “Do you sing or play any musical instruments?” may be a great opportunity to demonstrate your talents. Then, when a viewer asks a similar question, the video of you performing the activity will play back.
Is there any limit to how long I can record myself?
We don’t set out specific limits for your individual recorded answers, but we note that there will be limitations on what your browser and device can store (your answer is stored in your browser until you review and submit it). We would generally recommend you keep your answers to 2 minutes or less for both these technical reasons and so you don’t lose your audience when they come and interact with your recordings. For these same reasons, in no case should you record an answer longer than four minutes.
The cumulative length of all your answers cannot exceed the plan maximum of three hours, but we think that will provide far more than enough time for virtually all users (most creators have recordings under one hour). In the off-chance that it appears you may approach the maximum while recording, you will be given notice so that you can adjust your pacing.
What should I wear?
It’s up to you – whatever you are comfortable in, captures your personality, and reflects how you want to represent yourself. R-rated in ot permitted on the platform, though. We would also recommend that you not wear stripes, polka dots, or certain other patterns, as they can create some visual distortions.
What else should I do to achieve optimal picture quality while creating my Eternaview?
If you would like additional hints, please see our blog titled “Introducing Dating Eternaviews.”
Can I edit a recording after creating it?
Yes, you can re-record your answer to a question immediately, can go back to it later during the same recording session, or go back and re-record it at a later date.
Is there any limit to the number of edits that I can do?
When you initially record each answer, there is no practical limit to the number of times you can re-record each answer before submitting it (at which point it’s uploaded to the cloud). As laid out in the plans, you will be permitted a finite number of edits annually (far more than most users need), whereby you can re-record earlier answers or answer for the first time questions you initially skipped. Each time your subscription renews, you will receive a fresh allotment of edit allowances. You can also renew your subscription early if you need them immediately.
Will I be able to take a break while recording?
You can take a break any time. All of your recording up to that spot will be saved and you can return later right to where you left off (as long as your subscription is still current).
How do I resume creating my Eternaview after I take a break?
Just log in, go to My Eternaviews (on either the My Collections or Profile pages) and click on the in-progress Eternaview to resume.
If I skip a question or a whole module, will I get a chance to answer them later?
Yes, you will be given another chance once you get through all the modules and questions. You will also be able to go back at a later date. Please note that a subscription includes a certain number of edits, but it’s plenty for most people and you will also be granted additional allowances every year.
Can I delete an Eternaview that I create?
In most cases, an Eternaview will cease to function or be visible to viewers if you let your subscription lapse. If you want the Eternaview permanently deleted (either before or after a subscription lapses), please email support@eternaview.com and request that you want it permanently deleted.
Invites/ Interaction/ Viewing
Will everyone be able to see the Eternaview I create?
You have the option to mark your Eternaview “public” in order for it to be visible on eternaview.com for anyone to see it, but we believe most viewers will mark it “private”. If “private”, it will only be visible to people you email an invite to or share a link with on dating apps, social media, etc. You can also change between the “public” and “private” options at any time. Please note that we are still testing the “public”/”private” feature, and even if you select “public” we may choose that it remain “private” (based on technical and artistic aspects of the recording, quality, content, space on the site, or a range of other reasons).
Which Eternaviews can I watch?
If anyone shared a link to their Eternaview over a dating app, social media, etc., you should be able to click on that link to watch. You can, of course, watch all “public” ones at https://app.eternaview.com/dating/interact/, but those are really meant to just give you a sense of how Eternaview work; those are not people for you to get in touch with.
Can a creator restrict who an email invitation or shared link will work with?
Not currently – they would work for whoever they are forwarded to. However, in the future we plan to allow the creator to set permissions so that they would only work for people on their invite/restricted list.
Is there any charge for interacting with an Eternaview?
There is no charge to a viewer for interacting with an Eternaview. Rather, the costs are covered by the creator’s annual subscription (which permits thousands of queries to be asked of their Eternaview per year).
How come I don't see a microphone icon to click on in order to ask a question?
Depending on the device, please check that you have a working microphone plugged in and that you have allowed the site to access your microphone.
How does a viewer know what questions I can ask?
When viewing the video, you can click on the “Topics” button to see the questions that were asked and answered. You can also just ask whatever you want and see what type of response you get… that’s definitely more fun!
Should I say the person’s name (e.g. “Hi, Mary" or "Hi, Joe") when asking a question?
No. The AI works better if you do not.
Can a creator see who has viewed their Eternaview?
For viewers that were logged in while viewing the Eternaview, it will depend on how the viewer sets their privacy settings. Note that some of this functionality is still being tested, and we cannot guarantee anonymity at the current time. For viewers that were not logged in, the answer is no.
Will the creator of an Eternaview know what viewers asked that Eternaview?
No.
Can Practice Eternaviews be shared?
No (although, of course, you could have a family member or friend sit by your side while you interact with your Practice Eternaview). We do not enable sharing of Practice Eternaviews because they are just designed to allow the creator to practice recording and interaction, make sure their equipment is working properly, etc. Because a Practice Eternaview involves a small number of recorded answers, it is not intended for viewers to ask wide-ranging questions.
Plan and Account Options
Do I have to pay to create an Eternaview?
In order to see how Eternaview works, you can do a free Practice recording of yourself answering a handful of sample questions and then interact with them yourself. However, it does require a purchase in order to create a full-length interview.
How much does it cost?
See the “Pricing” page.
What does the ongoing subscription cost cover?
While you can download your videos anytime, the ongoing subscription cost covers: storage, sharing and streaming from the cloud, all AI-related costs, and the ability to re-take any of your answers as you see fit.
Do the people whom I want to view/interact with my Eternaview have to also pay?
Nope.
How many Eternaviews can be created per upfront payment/subscription?
Each Eternaview – meaning essentially one interview where you answer any or all of the ~100 template questions we provide – requires its own upfront payment and subscription.
Additional Information
Restrictions on Content
You, the creator, need to give an accurate account of your feelings and life. But we would recommend that you’re mindful to not be overly negative or vent needlessly. It’s ultimately up to you, though, as to what you include.
That said, Eternaview does not permit creators to engage in the following in their recordings:
- Bullying;
- Violence;
- Nudity or sexual acts;
- Hate speech or derogatory language based on race, gender identity or orientation, or religion;
- Any action that may violate laws governing Eternaview’s or the user’s actions.
Eternaview may further restrict or require changes to any recording for whatever reason it sees fit. Eternaview may also waive restrictions for educational, documentary, scientific, artistic reasons, where it may be in the public interest to do so, or in other cases where, in its sole discretion it sees fit to do so.
Your Eternaview is also probably not the place for negative bombshells, particularly as it’s always possible that someone you don’t intend to see your video does in fact eventually see it. Also, while your Eternaview may be private on our website, it’s not practical for us to block people screen recording your video or otherwise prevent pieces of it making its way to the eyes and ears of people you’d rather not see it.
Where can I get additional information?
You may contact Support through the website or email to support@eternaview.com. We will do our best to answer any inquiries in a timely way. You can also check out our Blog and demos for additional tips and answers.
