Question: Is there a convenient and affordable way to create a professional biography without hiring a biographer?

Otto is a personal AI biographer that lets you tell your story by speaking into it, and it records and transcribes your words. It then writes a biography based on your memories and doesn't require you to write much. The service offers real-time automatic transcripts, automatic chapter reviews, and a finished 7500-word biography for a fraction of the price of a traditional biography. The lifetime cost is $99, though you can get an early bird discount.

Another option is Life Story, which uses an AI named Lisa to walk you through the process of creating a customized 250-page softcover book about your life or a loved one's. The service has a simple interface where you can ask questions by email, and Lisa will transcribe and format your answers into a coherent story. You can customize your book by selecting the cover, adding photos, and editing or deleting sections. The cost starts at $99 for one printed book, with additional books costing $35 each.

If you want to build your professional story, Novel could be a good option. The service lets you create detailed profiles and video profiles, with AI-powered advice from a personal career guide. It also includes career journals for setting goals, storing files and tools to create targeted content for profiles and cover letters. The single plan costs $10 per month, with unlimited access to Novelist and 10GB of file storage.
