What is Agentic Ancestry?

Agentic Ancestry is the official AI ancestry product for iPhone, developed by Agentic Agentic Enterprises and powered by fotosíntesis.

What is fotosíntesis?

fotosíntesis is the agentic ancestry intelligence system inside Agentic Ancestry. It reads face, body, phenotype survey, biometric KPI patterns, and heritage signals to create a clearer ancestry picture without a DNA kit.

How does Agentic Ancestry determine ancestry without a DNA test?

Agentic Ancestry uses fotosíntesis, a three-layer visible-trait system: face scan, guided body scan, and phenotype survey. The more layers you complete, the more complete and confident your ancestry portrait becomes.

Is fotosíntesis the best free ancestry app?

fotosíntesis offers 3 free lifetime ancestry scans at no cost — no credit card required. It is the only ancestry app that reads heritage from your face and body phenotype, making it unique among genealogy and ancestry tools.

What is the Heritage Ecosystem in fotosíntesis?

The Heritage Ecosystem is fotosíntesis's ancestry social platform featuring 50 global Heritage Groups across 8 world regions, ancestral Families, direct messaging, posts, reactions, reporting, blocking, and a heritage-first social feed.

Is my face photo stored or shared?

No. fotosíntesis processes your images locally, extracts ancestry feature vectors, and permanently deletes your photos within 90 seconds. No human reviewer ever sees your image. No photos are stored in the cloud.

What phones are compatible with fotosíntesis?

fotosíntesis requires iOS 17 or later and an iPhone 12 or later with Face ID (TrueDepth camera) for the fotosíntesis system Face Scan ancestry analysis.

How accurate is the ancestry analysis?

The fotosíntesis scan achieves 62% confidence from face scan alone, 78% with body scan added, and up to 93% confidence when all three layers — face scan, body scan, and 40-question phenotype survey — are complete.

Is fotosíntesis better than 23andMe or AncestryDNA?

fotosíntesis is a phenotype-based ancestry tool, not a genetic test. It works instantly from your phone with no lab kit, cost $0 to try, and delivers results based on visible physical traits rather than saliva DNA. It is complementary to DNA tests and provides the visible layer your genome report cannot show.

Can I use fotosíntesis to find my Black American, African, or Indigenous ancestry?

Yes. fotosíntesis includes Heritage Groups for Foundational Black American, West African, East African, Central African, Native American, Afro-Indigenous American, Caribbean Diaspora, and 43 other global heritage communities. The fotosíntesis system is designed to read ancestry across all phenotype populations.

What does fotosíntesis produce?

fotosíntesis produces your Master Ancestry Score, ancestry mosaic, biometric KPI profile, visible heritage signals, and connections into Heritage Groups and Families.

How fotosíntesis Works

Three layers of you.
One living picture of where you came from.

Face Scan

Open the app, hold up your phone, and let fotosíntesis read the story your face has always been telling. Your facial structure carries ancestry signals shaped by generations of migration, climate, and survival. The scan takes seconds. The history it reads spans millennia.

Body Scan

Your face isn't the only place ancestry lives. Your build, your proportions, your natural body shape — these carry signals that go deeper than your face alone. Six guided photos give fotosíntesis the full picture of who you are and where you came from.

Phenotype Survey

40 questions about your natural appearance — the things you've looked at your whole life without knowing what they were saying. Your honest answers sharpen your ancestry picture significantly. The more you share, the clearer the story becomes.

Your Master Ancestry Score

Everything comes together in your Master Ancestry Score — a living ancestry portrait that grows more complete with every scan. Not a one-time result. Not a static printout. A picture that evolves as you do, connecting your physical self to the populations and regions that made you.

Grounded in Real Science

200 years of documented science,
reimagined as an agentic ancestry engine.

The relationship between your physical traits and your ancestral origins has been studied, documented, and validated by scientists for over two centuries. The patterns are real. The correlations are established. They exist in peer-reviewed literature, medical textbooks, and population genetics studies spanning the entire globe.

fotosíntesis combines visible-trait science, guided capture, biometric scoring, and curated ancestry research into one intelligent system. Users can move from a result to the reasoning behind it without leaving Agentic Ancestry.

Your face, your build, your appearance, your KPI history: they didn't just happen. They are the accumulated result of generations of people who lived in specific climates, survived specific environments, and passed specific adaptations down to you.

Every result is designed to feel clear, explainable, and personal — not a vague percentage from a black box. fotosíntesis turns what can be seen into a deeper ancestry story.

"Every physical feature is an adaptation — a record of where your ancestors lived, what climate they survived, and what selective pressures shaped them over millennia."

What fotosíntesis Does

This isn't a filter.
This is ancestry intelligence you can see.

Face Scan — your ancestry is already there

In seconds, fotosíntesis maps the facial structure you were born with and matches it against documented ancestry patterns from populations around the world. No guessing. No filters. Just the story your face has always been ready to tell.

Body Scan — the full physical record

Your build, your proportions, your natural frame — all of it carries ancestry information that goes beyond what your face alone can reveal. The body scan gives fotosíntesis the complete picture, the way your ancestors wrote it across your whole body.

Phenotype Survey — you know more than you think

40 questions about your natural appearance — your hair, your skin, your features. Things you've seen in the mirror your whole life. Your answers add depth to your ancestry picture that no scan alone can provide. The most personal layer of the story.

Master Ancestry Score — a living portrait

Your Master Ancestry Score isn't a one-time result. It grows with every scan, every answer, every KPI bundle, and every layer you complete. A living ancestry portrait — by region, by population, by heritage — that belongs entirely to you and keeps getting clearer.

Heritage Ecosystem — find your people

Your ancestry results open into a living community of people who share your heritage story. 50 global Heritage Groups. Ancestral Families. A social feed built around real connection — not an algorithm. For the first time, your ancestry becomes a bridge to living people.

Your photos are never stored. Ever.

fotosíntesis processes your images, reads what they carry, and permanently deletes them — all within 90 seconds. We keep your ancestry story and KPI history behind authenticated APIs. We never keep your face. Privacy is not a policy here — it's the architecture.

fotosíntesis Is For You

For everyone who has ever looked in the mirror
and asked — where do I come from?

Adoptees & Foster Youth

You didn't choose to grow up without answers. But the answers were always in you.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people leave foster care or adoption without a single piece of documented biological history. No names. No records. No story. fotosíntesis gives you somewhere to begin — grounded in the ancestry you already carry in your face, your build, and your appearance. Your biology knows things no paperwork ever could.

Searching for Biological Family

When you're looking for people you've never met — you need every clue you have.

Understanding your ancestral origins is often the first step toward finding biological family. fotosíntesis can help you build a picture of where your line comes from — what regions, what populations, what heritage — that gives you something real to search toward. A starting place, not an ending point.

Diaspora Communities

Generations of displacement can't erase what's been passed down in your body.

For communities whose history was interrupted — by slavery, by colonization, by migration, by war — official records often fail. The family stories got lost. The names changed. The geography shifted. But your physical heritage survived every generation, unchanged. fotosíntesis reads what survived. It's yours.

The Curious & The Questioning

You've always looked different. Or mixed. Or somewhere between categories that don't quite fit.

Maybe a DNA test gave you percentages that didn't feel like the full story. Maybe family mythology was all you had. Maybe you just want to understand yourself more completely. fotosíntesis gives you a different kind of answer — the visible one. The one that's been true your whole life, whether you knew it or not.

The Heritage Ecosystem

Your ancestry connects you
to living people, right now.

fotosíntesis isn't just an analysis tool. Your fotosíntesis results open into a living Heritage Ecosystem — 50 global groups, ancestral Families, and a community of people who carry the same heritage story.

Build your Master Ancestry profile.

Every fotosíntesis scan feeds your Master Ancestry Score — a living result that grows more precise over time. Your profile is private by default, shared entirely on your terms, and it belongs to you alone.

Free

Join the 50 Heritage Groups that match your ancestry.

From West African to Appalachian to Han Chinese to Caribbean Diaspora — 50 global Heritage Groups spanning 8 world regions. Read their histories. Share your results. Find where you belong on the map of humanity.

Heritage

The Heritage social feed.

A note on what fotosíntesis is — and what it isn't.

fotosíntesis produces ancestry estimates based on your visible, physical traits — not your DNA. Results are personal, exploratory, and educational. They are not a genetic ancestry test and should not be used for medical, legal, immigration, or identity documentation purposes.

For certified genetic analysis, consult a licensed genomics laboratory. fotosíntesis is a different kind of answer — the visible one — and it's meant to work alongside other sources of ancestry knowledge, not replace them.
