PermaCult Conservatory of Human Memory and Culture

Permacult is a living digital museum whose mission is to preserve the cultural memory of humanity, especially of marginalized and remote communities. Using multimodal AI, the project allows people from anywhere to contribute stories in audio or text, which are automatically processed, translated and categorized. The platform combines cutting-edge technologies like Llama 3.1/3.2, MMS-1B-All, and semantic embeddings to create an interactive and accessible experience. Through Permacult, we are creating a solution to combat the loss of endangered cultures and languages, democratizing access to technology and empowering communities around the world to become protagonists of their own story. Impact: Prevent the extinction of endangered languages. Create an accessible and interactive cultural collection. Promote inclusive education and anthropological research. Exclusive Features: Advanced Semantic Search: Explore stories by location, theme or semantics. Cultural Insights: Automatic generation of insights with AI for researchers and educators. Interactivity: Dynamic chat with stories and narrative audio generation. The platform not only preserves memories, but also gives new meaning to collective history, uniting past, present and future.
