How it works

Three steps from a life to a book

Without writing a word. You talk, we make the book.

Step 1

Choose the questions

Pick from over a thousand guided prompts, or write the family stories you have always wanted to ask about.

A grandfather and his family look through old albums for memories worth preserving
What was the house you grew up in like?
What is your most treasured memory of your father?
What achievement made you proudest when you were young?
Step 2

Talk like a conversation

Open the app and simply speak. No typing, no writing — the AI listens, asks follow-ups, and turns it all into polished text.

That winter was bitterly cold, and the whole family squeezed into one small house…
What happened next? Do you remember how you felt?
Listening
Step 3

Receive the book

Professional editors compile and typeset every story. Read the digital edition free online, order a hardcover — and have the whole book narrated in your own cloned voice.

From families

They kept their own stories

Three generations read their finished family memoir together

One book brings three generations together

Choosing prompts, listening to recordings, and opening the finished book becomes a new family memory in itself.

I was never much of a talker, yet I told over forty stories to my phone. The day the book arrived, I read it all afternoon.
Mr. Lee · 72 · Storyteller
My voice was cloned into the audiobook. My grandkids scan the code and hear me tell the old days — they say it feels like I am right there.
Ms. Wang · 68 · Storyteller
Choosing questions and listening to recordings became the highlight of our week. This book is our family's most precious thing.

FAQ

Questions you may have

What if I am not comfortable with a smartphone?

Family can set everything up, and the interface uses large, friendly text. Higher plans include live phone or video interviews — you only need to talk.

Is the digital edition really free?

Recording and online reading are free (the free tier includes limited chapters and word count). Printing, voice cloning and other services are paid per plan.

How long until the book arrives?

It depends on the storytelling pace and the plan. Typically the editing, typesetting and printing are completed within weeks after the stories are collected.

Can we edit the manuscript?

Yes. Before printing there is a review step where the family previews the book online and requests changes. Nothing is printed until you approve.

What is voice cloning?

We recreate your voice to narrate the entire book as an audiobook. Every story also keeps its original recording, playable via QR code.

How is privacy protected?

All content is private by default and visible only to invited family. Works appear in the public library only with the author's explicit consent.
