Life Story

Life Story is an AI-powered tool that lets you create a personalized biography of yourself or a loved one in the form of a nicely printed book. The company's website uses an artificial intelligence system called Lisa that acts as a personal biographer to lead you through the process.

Lisa asks you questions and records your answers, transcribing and editing them into a readable and engaging narrative. You can respond to the questions by email at your own pace, so you can work on your book over several weeks or months. The AI system also checks grammar and spelling so your book looks polished and professional.

You can customize your book with the cover, up to 40 photos, and editing or deletion of material as needed. The result is a 250-page softcover book with high-quality paper.

Life Story is useful for several situations:

• Gift idea: Give a family member, such as a mother or grandmother, a unique and personalized biography.
• Personal reflection: Write your own life story so you can reflect on the memories and experiences you've had.
• Family history: Record your family history so you can preserve stories and anecdotes for your descendants.

The price, starting at $99, includes one printed book, writing guidance, voice-to-text transcription, AI formatting and a 45-day money-back guarantee. You can order more books at $35 each (not including shipping).

Life Story is a web app, but it's designed to be easy to use, so even people who aren't tech-savvy can use it. The company doesn't share your data with anyone else or any other company.

If you're looking for a way to record and preserve your life story in a way that's both meaningful and tasteful, Life Story is a thoughtful and practical option.
