"Wouldn't you want a Walter Isaacson biography of your grandfather?"

Isaacson wrote Steve Jobs. He wrote Elon Musk. He wrote Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci. Your family writes your grandparents. The Memory Book is a chaptered, print-ready biography compiled by AI from their own recorded stories — reviewed and edited by your family, included in every plan.

"In a hundred years, your great-great-grandchildren will not know who Steve Jobs was. But they will know exactly who their great-great-grandfather was — because someone wrote it down."

The same craftsmanship. A different subject.

How the AI compile + family edit pipeline works

  1. Capture (months 1–6): Your subject answers guided questions (from our bank of 168) over weekly sessions.
  2. Transcribe + Translate (auto): Every recording becomes searchable text in their original language plus English translation.
  3. Theme + Chapter Mapping (auto): AI assigns each answer to a draft chapter. Source-linked — every sentence in the book maps back to a specific recording in their voice.
  4. Draft compile (auto): A book-length draft is generated. Reads like a third-person biography written by someone who knew them — because the source is real.
  5. Family review + edit: You and your family read every chapter and edit anything, inline, as many rounds as you like.
  6. Download + print: Download the print-ready PDF and print it anywhere — a local print shop, an online book printer, or your own printer.
