Creating a new way to preserve memories with the help of AI.
Every family has stories that exist mostly in someone’s memory — people, places, events and little details that may never have been written down.
I’ve realized how easily those stories can disappear from one generation to the next.
LifeHistory began as an experiment to see whether AI could make preserving those memories easier — not by writing someone’s story for them, but by helping them tell it.
Life isn’t remembered as a neatly written book.
Memories are scattered across photographs, documents, family stories, places, dates and conversations.
LifeHistory is designed to bring those pieces together — capturing the memories themselves while also preserving the people, relationships, places and events that give them context.
Writing a life story from a blank page can be difficult. Answering a good question is much easier.
The idea behind LifeHistory is to let AI help guide the conversation — asking questions, recognizing connections, finding gaps and helping organize memories as they're told.
The technology isn't the storyteller. The person is.
LifeHistory is still an experiment, but its purpose is simple: help preserve the stories, photographs and experiences that connect one generation to the next.
