## AI overview

The article describes using AI as a tool for genealogical research. In less than a month, the author gathered more than 600 individuals and traced 12 generations in some branches, using a software-project workflow, genealogical records, GEDCOM files, GitHub or Codeberg, and Cloudflare Pages.

## Source excerpt

My son recently came to me to brag about using AI to find our ancestors. While the results were correct, I didn't learn anything new, as it stopped at my grandparents. I was never very interested in my genealogy, but I decided to see if AI would be a good tool for this. TL;DR: Yes, it is, and even more than that. In a little less than one month, I managed to gather more than 600 individuals and get back 12 generations in some branches.
