SampleThe book
A hardcover memoir
Their stories in their own voice, edited gently, with every old photo restored. Bound in red linen, made to be read at the kitchen table and passed down.
Look inside a sampleFor parents and grandparents
Their life, in their own words.
Wren, our AI biographer, texts them one good question a week. Their answers become a hardcover book, a life website, and scenes from their past nobody thought to photograph.
No app. Works by text, WhatsApp or a phone call.
What you get
A year of conversations. Three things to keep.
Everything comes from what they tell Wren, in the way they tell it.
SampleSample
The website
A private life website
Chapters, a timeline and photos, shared only with the family you invite. Grandkids can read new stories the week they come in.

RecreationThe reenactment
The moments nobody photographed
The rainy night they met. The kitchen radio in 1951. We recreate scenes like these from the details in their stories, and always label them as recreations.
How reenactments workHow it works
You give it once. Wren does the asking.
Nothing to download and nothing to learn. If they can answer a text or pick up the phone, they can do this.
1
Wren checks in once a week
One question by text, WhatsApp or a phone call. They answer whenever they like, in a sentence or an hour. Wren asks the follow-ups a good listener would.
2
They send the old photos
When a story mentions a picture, Wren asks for it. They snap the print with their phone, or mail it to us. We restore every one.
3
You open the book together
Print the book whenever you’re ready, at three months or at twelve. The website fills in as they talk, so nobody has to wait for the book to start reading.

A Sunday with Wren and Peggy
WWren
Morning, Peggy. This week’s question is from your grandkids: how did you meet Grandpa Walt?
Oh goodness. The Starlight Diner, 1959. He came in soaked to the bone and ordered a black coffee
What did you make of him that first night?
I figured he’d be a lousy tipper. Then he left me a whole dollar on a 15 cent coffee 😂
Is there a photo from your diner days? A picture of the print with your phone is fine.
Wren always says it’s an AI. A real person on our team reads every book before it prints.
The Starlight Diner, Xenia. I was eighteen and thought I knew everything.
SampleFrom the book · Chapter 2
Coffee, black, no sugar
Wren asked: “How did you meet Grandpa Walt?”
“He tipped me a whole dollar on a fifteen-cent coffee.”
I was working the late shift at the Starlight the summer after high school. It was pouring rain, and this tall boy came in soaked to the bone, glasses all fogged up, and ordered coffee, black, no sugar. He couldn’t see a thing. He tipped me a whole dollar on a fifteen-cent coffee.
He came back the next night, and the next. On the fourth night I told him if he wanted to keep drinking coffee he’d have to take me to the pictures. We saw Some Like It Hot. He laughed so loud the usher shined a flashlight on us.
Peggy is our sample storyteller, made up to show you what a finished book reads like. Same question as the texts above, turned into a chapter.

Before you give it.
My dad doesn’t use apps. Will this work for him?
Yes. There is nothing to download. Wren works over ordinary text messages, WhatsApp or a regular phone call, including a landline. If he can answer the phone, he can tell his story.
Who is Wren?
Wren is our AI biographer. Wren texts or calls your loved one once a week with a thoughtful question, listens, asks gentle follow-ups, and asks for photos when a story mentions one. Wren always says it is an AI, and a real person on our team reviews every book before it prints.
How do they send photos?
They just take a picture of the old print with their phone and send it in the chat, or mail us the originals and we scan and return them. We restore every photo: fixing fading, creases and tears.
How long does it take?
Conversations run for up to a year, at their pace. You can ask us to make the book whenever you like, at three months or at twelve, and add a second volume later if there’s more to tell.
Who owns the stories?
Your family does. You can download every story, photo and recording, or delete it all, at any time.
For them, and for you
One day you’ll want to hear them tell it again.
Give them someone who wants to hear every story, and give yourself the book.
