Life Story AI is an AI-centered family biography creation tool designed to help people preserve the precious memories of their parents, grandparents, or themselves and turn them into a carefully designed book.
Purpose Every family has stories worth preserving. Life Story AI allows users to capture their parents' memories, tell the life stories of their grandparents, or write their own story. Users simply answer questions posed by the AI by voice or text and invite friends and family to contribute, and within a few weeks they receive a printed book.
Main Capabilities
- AI biography assistant Lisa: asks personalized questions based on the user's previous answers, actively listens, and asks in-depth follow-up questions when the user gets stuck, helping uncover more memories.
- Voice input and transcription: no typing required; Lisa records and transcribes what is said, supporting 7 languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch.
- Literary rewriting: Lisa can rewrite the recorded content into a smooth, literary style, with no writing experience required from the user.
- Weekly question: Lisa sends a new question each week by email or WhatsApp (WhatsApp feature coming soon); users simply reply to the message, and can also answer more questions.
- Collaborative writing: invite friends and family to participate in different roles, including co-author (can add or edit stories), questioner (can ask the author questions but cannot view the story content), and subscriber (coming soon, receives new stories each week).
- Book customization: choose the title, upload a cover image, add an unlimited number of color or black-and-white photos to chapters, and freely edit, delete, or add content.
- Sharing and ordering: generate a custom link so friends and family can order their own copies directly, and track orders through a dashboard.
- Export: export PDF, ePub, or text versions at any time.
How to Use After purchase, users can proceed in two modes: interviewer mode (the user sits with their parents and operates the app on their behalf) or fully independent mode (after a one-time demonstration to the parents, they complete it on their own). Typically, 10 to 20 hours of recording are needed to write a book, roughly equivalent to 3 to 6 afternoons. Users can freely choose to organize the content chronologically, by theme, or in a completely free form, and can also create an unlimited number of their own questions. The final product is a physical book of up to 250 pages, in A5 format (14.85 × 21 cm), printed and shipped to the user.
