Start with one memoryOne step at a time
You talk. We help with the page.
No blank document to stare at. No AI prompts to learn. Just a place to begin.
Press Record your story.
Start with anything you remember. If you would like a starting question, choose Help me find a memory.
Talk. Press stop when done.
Use the words you normally use. Take a pause. Leave a thought unfinished. Your story doesn't need to come out perfectly.
Read it. Make it yours.
Change any words yourself, say what you want changed, or choose a question to help you tell more. Keep a draft for later, or add the story to your book when you like it.
See a story take shape
A broken gate. A father he saw differently.
Elias starts in the middle, forgets the year and jumps ahead. A few questions help him explain what happened with his dad, and why he kept a bent bolt.
Meet Elias, our fictional storyteller. Follow his rough telling, the questions he answers, and the story that takes shape.
Step 1 of 3
"I'm telling it all out of order."
He presses Record your story and begins. He jumps around, doubles back, and wonders what an old bolt has to do with anything.
Well, Dad's gate. That's what I was going to tell you. The bottom hinge was never quite right after that. We were outside Hague, on the farm. I was sixteen, I think. Don't ask me the year because I couldn't tell you. He had this old grain truck. You had to pull on the door to get it shut. That's nothing to do with the gate, except it was that truck.
My brother could back it through there. I wanted to do it without somebody standing beside me telling me which way to turn. Dad was always there, you see. Checking. I thought he didn't believe I could do anything. Well, anything with a motor.
Anyway, I backed into the gatepost. Not fast. Just enough. The gate dropped and there was this awful scrape along the truck. I remember sitting there with the engine still running. Then I shut it off. I didn't get out straight away.
Read the rest of his telling
Funny what you keep. There's a bent bolt in a tobacco tin in my shed now. No tobacco in it. Washers, bits of string, that sort of thing. That bolt is from the gate. My daughter asked me why I kept a useless bolt. I couldn't explain it very well.
Dad came over from the shed. I thought, well, that's the end of me driving. We did get the gate hanging again. It wasn't quite straight. He didn't say much about it after. I still think about that afternoon more than some of the big things, if you know what I mean. I'm telling it all out of order.
When his draft appears, he chooses Ask me a question.
A fictional demonstration. Questions and story prepared by our AI from the supplied words. Listen uses a computer voice.

See how to share or publish your bookThe right kind of help
You remain the storyteller.
- It is software. An AI helper asks questions and helps shape a draft. It does not replace your judgment.
- Uncertainty belongs in the story. A missing year or detail should stay a question, not become an invented fact.
- Your pace matters. A short memory can be enough for today.
- Your voice matters. The goal is writing you recognise as yours, not a polished version of somebody else.
Start with one story. Keep the whole book.
One price for the book.

Before you begin
Questions before you begin.
Do I need to know how to use AI?
No. There are no prompts to write. You hear or read a question, then talk in your own words. One question and one next step at a time.
Can I tell my own story without a family member?
Yes. Tell your own story, or invite someone you trust to help you get comfortable. You do not need to have a whole book planned.
What if I can't remember something?
You can leave a detail uncertain. A draft should ask for missing information or leave it unresolved, rather than guessing your history.
How can I share or publish my book?
Your digital PDF book is ready to keep and share with the people you choose. You also get an editable Word file to prepare for selling as an ebook or ordering printed copies through a service such as Amazon KDP. Choose the format, cover and audience that suit your story. Our sharing guide takes you through the next steps.
Can this support an Indigenous community project?
Not yet as a complete solution. It is built for one family telling one person's stories. Community projects need their own decisions about language, permissions and long-term care first. Read about community projects.
