Most memoir services capture one person at a time. Heirloom captures the whole family in concert — grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles — and synthesizes their wisdom into unified answers descendants can consult. Family Council is the new product category: ask one question, get a synthesized answer that highlights agreement, names disagreement, and cites specific moments from each captured family member.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from each member having their own memoir?
Synthesis. Single-person memoirs can't answer 'what did our family believe about X?' Family Council can — synthesizing across all captured members with attribution.
Is there an upper bound on members?
No — the Family plan supports unlimited storytellers, and the Council keeps answers clear by citing who said what.
Can deceased members be included?
Only with prior recordings (voicemails, family videos) where they consented to family preservation. Voice clone of deceased members requires explicit prior consent.
Sessions are individual or group?
Both. Members complete individual interviews; occasionally Family Council sessions bring multiple members together (like a recorded family conversation).
