Lifestory Scribe
An AI memoir companion that interviews an older adult over weeks of short voice sessions, organizes the stories into chapters, and produces a polished first draft they can hand to family or a human editor.
Retirees and older adults who want to write their life stories but feel overwhelmed by the blank page
- Guided voice-first interviews prompted by life-stage questions (childhood, career, parenthood, loss)
- Automatic chapter assembly with a table of contents the writer can rearrange by drag-and-drop
- Photo and document anchoring so each chapter can include scanned keepsakes
- Family-shared private link where relatives can leave prompts and questions that get folded into future interviews
A cultural moment around aging icons documenting their lives (Cher, Scorsese, Bruce Springsteen) is normalizing memoir-writing, while a wave of baby-boomer retirees has both the time and the family pressure to start one.
