Keep their stories. And the voice that tells them.
Phone conversations. Written chapters. A book to keep.
Kaylie, our AI interviewer, calls you first. Add your parent or grandparent to the call and introduce her. Together in person? Just hand them your phone.
With their recorded permission, Kaylie calls them for relaxed, 30-minute conversations. One question at a time, with room for every pause and tangent.
The stories they choose to share reach you as written chapters, full recordings and transcripts. Keep them as they are, or bring them together in a book.
Their own phone. Their own pace. Calls happen when they’re ready.
The pie table. The first date.
The things you never knew to ask.
Choose a sentence in the chapter to see the words behind it.
“So I bought a slice of cherry. Didn’t want it. Bought another one.”Their words, with the ums and wandering taken out.
Ray is an illustrative example, not a customer recording. Real chapters link back to the family’s recording.
I'll be honest with you: I wasn't at the 4-H fair for the livestock. She was working the pie table for her church. Lorraine. She had a little tin cash box, and she wouldn't make you change until you said please. So I bought a slice of cherry I didn't want. Then I bought another one. By the third slice she looked at me over the top of that box and said, you don't even like cherry. I said no, ma'am. I married her the next June.
Twelve conversations become a life story you can hold. Their childhood, their great love, the things they want the grandchildren to know.
Add your family’s photographs and a foreword. Choose the chapters, review every page, and make it theirs.

They can skip a question, end a call, or keep a story to themselves. At the end of each call, they decide whether that story can be shared with you.

Something else on your mind?
We’re happy to help.
No. Kaylie is an AI interviewer, and she says so at the start of every call. There's no one secretly listening in. The calls are recorded so your family can keep them.
No. Any phone works, landlines included. All they do is answer and talk.
About five minutes. Answer when Kaylie calls you, add your storyteller to the call, and introduce her. After that, everything happens between Kaylie and them, and the stories come to you by email.
Kaylie talks you through it. If your phone won't merge, or you're together anyway, hand them your phone when she calls. Either way works.
Kaylie speaks slowly and plainly, repeats herself when asked, and never rushes a pause. If a call isn't going well, she ends it kindly and offers another time.
Then that's that. Kaylie thanks them, never calls them, and you get a full refund.
Only you, through a private link, and only the stories your storyteller agrees to share. We never publish family stories or use them to train AI.
The twelve calls happen on your storyteller's schedule, usually over two to four months. When you're happy with the preview, printing and shipping take about two to three weeks.
