Private personal biographer · voice-first
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.Tell me about the house you grew up in.
It was a small house with creaky floors and a big front porch. In the summer, the windows stayed open and the whole street felt alive…
Read full chapterWhy Yaad
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.
Return to the chapters of your own life in the language you actually spoke.
Share a chapter, passage, or memory with someone who belongs in that story.
Capture the details no photo, text thread, or family member can fully reconstruct.
How it works
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.
Yaad asks like a thoughtful biographer and listens without rushing. No script, no performance, no homework.
Each conversation becomes a chapter in the storyteller's own voice. Come back when another memory arrives — no streaks, no nudges.
Sample chapter
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.

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.
Keep & share
Find a chapter by what was said, who was there, where it happened, or what it meant.
Revisit the actual conversation whenever you want to hear the voice behind the words.
"I still remember the smell of rain on that red earth — it stayed with me my whole life…"
Invite someone into a specific memory, chapter, or excerpt. Nothing else becomes public.
Edited, typeset, and made to keep — for yourself, your family, or someone who belongs in the story.
How to begin
Your life, your relationships, your turning points — captured in the language you already speak. For your future self first, and for the people you choose later.
Request an inviteStart gently with a person you want to understand more deeply. One conversation can become a chapter you can both return to — no pressure, no deadline, nothing to learn.
Request an inviteTrust
Private by default. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Nothing is public or shared unless you invite someone.
The storyteller stays in control. Choose what to keep, what to delete, what to share, and who can see it.
Your words stay yours. Export your chapters, download your audio, and keep your archive in your own format.
No AI training on your stories. No engagement tricks, streaks, or pressure to return. Come back only when a real memory arrives.
Voices
My dad spoke for forty minutes about a bicycle. I had never heard the bicycle story.
I thought I was just recording a memory. What came back felt like a chapter of my life I had never put into words.
I read the chapter three times. It sounded like her — just on the page.
