No app to learn. They just talk.
Send a link. It opens to one warm question and a single big button. They tap it, tell the story the way they always have, and Told does the rest — no login, no typing, no menus to fight.

One question at a time
A patient AI interviewer that follows the thread of what she actually says — not the same 52 questions mailed to everyone.
- 2
Her voice, kept
Every answer is recorded and transcribed. The words become chapters; the recording stays, tied to the page.

You watch it fill in
From your phone, you see the book take shape chapter by chapter — and nudge her along when she stalls.
Most of these gifts never get finished.
The intention is beautiful. The follow-through is where it dies — a weekly email that feels like homework, software they can't get past, and a year later, a blank book.
Three steps. One finished book.
They talk
A warm, patient AI interviewer asks about their life and listens — by voice, on any device, with a one-tap link that needs no account. It follows the thread of what they say.
We shape it — never invent it
Their answers become clear, readable chapters in their voice and phrasing. Nothing is made up. The words are always theirs.
A real book — and their voice
A printed hardcover you can hold, with a QR code on every chapter that plays the original recording. You keep the words and the sound of them.
Then one day, you hear them again.
A transcript keeps what they said. Told keeps how they said it — the pause before the punchline, the laugh, the way only she tells that story.
Years from now, a grandchild opens the book, scans the code on a chapter, and the room fills with her voice — reading her own life aloud. That's the thing you can't get back any other way.
Their story stays theirs.
Their real voice
The AI never invents facts or rewrites them into someone they're not. It keeps their words.
You own it
The book and the story are yours — exportable and keepable forever. No lock-in, no lapse.
Private by default
It's a family memoir, not training data. Their story never trains anyone's model.
We're in closed beta.
Told is being tested with a small first group of families. Public sign-up opens soon — this is where it'll be.
