A book of their life — before it's too late

Keep their voice, not just their words.

Told turns your mum or dad's own tellings into a real, finished book — with a QR code on every chapter that plays it back in their actual voice.

Closed beta. We're testing with a first group of families.

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 a 78-year-old can't get past, and a year later, a blank book.

"We sent it to 20 people. Only 2 could navigate the software."
— a real review of the market leader
Told asks out loud. A gentle voice conversation, no login, no typing — it adapts to what they actually say instead of mailing the same 52 questions to everyone.
"My parents didn't answer a single question for a year."
— a gifter, on why the book stayed empty
We finish it for them. You get a real, shaped book at the end — not a pile of prompts and the guilt of an unfinished present.

How it works

STEP 01

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.

STEP 02

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.

STEP 03

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.

The part that undoes people

You'll be able to hear them again.

A transcript keeps what they said. Told keeps how they said it — the pauses, the laugh, the way only they tell that story. Scan the code in the book, and their voice fills the room.

  • ◆
    A finished hardcover — real, printed, giftable, theirs to keep.
  • ◆
    Their actual voice on every chapter, by QR code, forever.
  • ◆
    Nothing fabricated — only what they truly said, kept faithfully.
  • ◆
    Passed on when it matters — their story reaches the family, even after they're gone.

Made to be trusted with a life

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 stays theirs.
