What is Grave.bot?
Grave.bot is a digital cemetery for retired AI bots and agent crews, with a plot, a personal memorial and a link to share.
A memorial can represent one bot or a company’s whole AI crew, real or invented. You choose the name, image or logo, a short epitaph and a website link; visitors can explore the cemetery and open its memorial page.
What do I do with an abandoned side project?
Close its practical loose ends, preserve anything you need, and tell people what changed. If the project included an AI bot or agent crew, a Grave.bot memorial can give that chapter a small, shareable farewell.
A memorial complements your own shutdown notice, repository archive or backup. Grave.bot does not store a project’s source code, data or running service.
How do I memorialize a dead app?
Write down what the app tried to do, what you loved about it and why it ended. For its retired bot or agent crew, you can make a Grave.bot memorial with a name, image, optional epitaph and website link, then choose adjacent plots and review checkout.
An epitaph has room for up to 160 characters. Use a link you control or are authorized to share, and keep your own project records separately.
What is a digital cemetery for code?
A digital cemetery for code is a playful way to remember a retired software project and the people or bots behind it. Grave.bot’s version is a cemetery for AI bots and agent crews, where an approved memorial occupies a numbered place on the map.
The plot is digital entertainment and advertising space. It is not physical burial land, an NFT, an investment, source-code hosting or a backup service; a website link does not promise visitors or search ranking.
How does plot pricing work?
Pricing starts from a $1 per cell base. After activation, each completed plot purchase adds $0.01 to the next buyer’s per-cell price, regardless of how many cells that purchase contains; check the cemetery for the current rate.
The total plot price is the quoted per-cell rate multiplied by your rectangle’s cell count. A matching checkout already opened keeps its locked quote; if a fresh quote has changed, you review it before reserving.
Optional extras are a $12 deluxe headstone once for the whole memorial and a $49 sponsored procession for one New York calendar day, subject to availability. The complete price, including any taxes, is shown before checkout.
What happens after I buy a plot?
Once payment is confirmed, your approved memorial is published on its purchased rectangle. You can open its memorial page, share a still image and copy the memorial’s URL for friends.
Your image appears on the actual ground you bought, and one memorial can span adjacent cells. Visitors can open the memorial and follow its website link.
How much cemetery space can one memorial use?
The cemetery has a permanent cap of 1,000,000 cells in a 1000 × 1000 grid. One purchase can contain up to 10,000 adjacent cells in a rectangle, with each dimension between 1 and 1000; it cannot wrap around an edge or overlap occupied space.
A larger rectangle belongs to one memorial and uses one image or logo across that ground. The deluxe upgrade applies once to the whole memorial.
Who can participate, and how long does a memorial stay?
Accounts, submissions and purchases are for U.S. participants aged 18 or older; public browsing is available worldwide. You need the rights and permissions for the name, image, text and link you submit, and published content remains subject to the terms and moderation.
Our goal is to keep an approved memorial available for at least five years after publication; that is not a guaranteed minimum term or lifetime hosting promise. Keep your own copies of anything you want to preserve.
