Books as Unique as the Lives Within

Sounds great, but I have a few doubts…

What if I don't think I know enough to write a book?

It is only natural to feel that way, but everyone's life has a story worth sharing. We offer a suite of options to help get the creative juices going, ranging from writing prompts created by us or your family, as well as an AI biographer, who can both interview you about any topic and write a first draft.

Typing can be difficult at my age

Rest assured, we want this experience to be both enjoyable and accessible to everyone, which is why we've introduced our speech-to-text dictation service, which eliminate the need to type out your story word for word. Additionally, our AI biographer will even write a first draft after every interview you complete.

The Most Flexible Memoir Service

How will they tell their story?

Every person is different. Some love to type, others prefer to talk. Kindred Tales lets your loved one choose exactly how they want to share their memories.

Option One

Reply to a Weekly Email

Each week, a thoughtful prompt arrives in their inbox. They simply hit reply and write. No apps to download, no passwords to remember, no learning curve.

Zero tech skills required

Option Two

Write & Place Photos Where They Belong

Log in and write directly in our editor. Add photos between paragraphs, right where they belong in the story. No more dumping all images at the front or back like other services.

Photos go with the story, not after it

Option Three

Chat with Ali, Your AI Biographer

Ali asks thoughtful follow-up questions that unlock forgotten memories. Like talking to a patient friend who genuinely wants to hear the whole story. You can even ask her for creative chapter title ideas unique to your story.

Draws out stories they forgot they had

Just Speak

Press record and talk. We transcribe every word in real-time. For parents who’d rather talk than type, this changes everything. Keep and and share the recordings with family as you progress.

Built for storytellers, not typists

Option Five

Upload Existing Recordings

Already have recordings of their stories? Upload audio files and we’ll transcribe them into chapters. Keep the originals as family heirlooms forever.

Turn archives into book chapters

Not sure which is right for them?

Good news: they can use all five methods. Mix and match however they like.
