Private personal biographer · voice-first

The stories
only you
can tell.

Yaad asks thoughtful questions, listens as you talk, and turns your memories into beautifully written chapters in your own voice. For you first — and only for others if you choose.

No writing. No camera. No homework. Just talk.

Private by default.

Why Yaad

If you do not tell it, no one else can.

Photos can show where you were. Calendars can show when it happened. But only you can explain what it meant, what changed, what you noticed, what you carried, and what you understood later.

Yaad gives those stories a place before they fade into fragments.

For your future self

Return to the chapters of your own life in the language you actually spoke.

For the people you choose

Share a chapter, passage, or memory with someone who belongs in that story.

For what would otherwise disappear

Capture the details no photo, text thread, or family member can fully reconstruct.

How it works

One conversation becomes a chapter.
Chapters become a life.

  1. i.

    Choose the story you want to begin with

    Start with yourself, someone you love, or one chapter of life you do not want to lose. Yaad helps shape the first conversation so you are never staring at a blank page.

Sample chapter

Reads like them
not like a transcript.

Yaad does not simply summarize or transcribe. It shapes the conversation into prose that keeps the voice intact — the pauses, the asides, the details only that person would have remembered.

Yaad — Hamid's bookCh. VI · p. 41

The house above the tailor

Tehran, 1978 — the year before the year things changed.

· · ·

She kept the front key pinned into her blouse because she never trusted herself to put it down. The staircase creaked on the third step from the top and we learned to skip it after her nap hour.

You remember a place by the names your mother gave to it before you knew they weren't the real ones.

My sister had a jar on the sill of limes she refused to let anyone touch. I never understood the limes. I understand now.
