A memory book made from real conversations

Most memory books arrive as blank pages and good intentions. This one is filled by talking.

A memory book is meant to hold the things a family would otherwise lose: how they met, what the house smelled like on a Sunday, the job nobody talks about any more, the advice that turned out to be right.

The difficulty is never the idea. It is the blank page. Fill-in-the-blank keepsake books ask someone to sit down and write, and most of them end up half finished in a drawer.

StoriedLife starts from the other end. Eva, an AI biographer, has a conversation, asks a follow-up when an answer is worth pulling on, and writes each story up afterwards. The person telling it never has to write a word.

How it works

Three steps, one conversation

They talk

A biographer called Eva asks a question, listens to the answer, and asks the next one based on what was just said.

Stories become chapters

Each conversation is written up as a finished story in the first person, in their own words.

The book comes together

Chapters, photographs and the recorded voice are laid out as a book you can read on screen or hold in your hands.

Frequently asked questions

What is a memory book?

A memory book collects someone's stories, photographs and milestones in one place so a family can keep them. It can be filled in by hand, or, as with StoriedLife, built from recorded conversations that are written up for you.

How do I make a memory book for my grandparents?

The hardest part is usually getting started. With StoriedLife your grandparents simply talk; Eva asks the questions, follows up on the answers, and turns each conversation into a written chapter with their voice attached.

How much does a custom memory book cost?

StoriedLife is $129.95 a year, which covers unlimited conversations, the written stories and the digital book. A printed softcover is $49 and a hardcover $69.

Can more than one person add stories?

Yes. A memory book is usually richer when several members of a family contribute their own version of the same events.

The blank page is the problem. Start with a conversation instead.
