Preparing Their Story
To bring your loved one's story to life as an interactive memory, you'll need to provide materials that capture their voice, values, and life journey.
Don't worry – you don't need a perfect memoir. Even simple letters or a recorded conversation can help us create something deeply meaningful.
Recommended Materials
The following materials help us create an authentic AI companion that captures your loved one's essence. You don't need all of these – even a few items can create a meaningful experience.
📝 Written Memories
- Autobiography or life story (even a few pages)
- Personal letters or postcards
- Journals or diaries
- Speeches or eulogies
🎙️ Voice or Video Recordings
- Recorded interviews (phone, Zoom, audio apps)
- Home videos
- Voice notes or saved voicemails
📰 Published or Formal Materials

Tip: The more personal and story-driven the material, the more lifelike the AI companion can be.
What Makes a Strong Story
The most impactful materials help us answer these essential questions:
Who were they?
Their personality, character traits, and how they interacted with others
What did they believe in?
Their values, principles, and what mattered most to them
What life events shaped them?
Key moments, challenges, and experiences that defined their journey
What lessons would they share?
Wisdom, advice, and insights they'd want to pass on to future generations
Even one in-depth interview or written life story is often enough to begin. We'll guide you through the process and help you identify the most meaningful materials.
