Person writing in journal by a window
A collection of your life stories into a published book

How it works

No writing experience needed. No blank page to stare at. Just your memories, our agents, and a book as long as your story deserves.

Begin My Story, from $89

Six stages. One finished book.

From your first memory to a published autobiography, here is exactly how it works.

1

Your story begins with a conversation

Our Story Agent interviews you, one thoughtful question at a time. You talk, or you type. There is no form to fill in, no essay to write. Just a conversation that unfolds like a documentary interview: warm, unhurried, and always following the most interesting thread.

  • Twenty minutes a day is all it takes
  • Voice mode, interview yourself on the drive to work
  • Saves automatically so you pick up right where you left off
  • Works in any language and for any kind of life
Story Agent, in conversation
"Tell me about the place you grew up. What did it look, sound, and smell like on an ordinary afternoon?"
"It was a small weatherboard house on a corner block in Geelong. There was a lemon tree in the backyard that we weren't supposed to climb but always did…"
"That lemon tree sounds like it has a story of its own. Who usually caught you climbing it?"

We research the world you lived in

Your life didn't happen in a vacuum. Our World Context Agent searches historical records, geographic archives and cultural timelines to place your story in its true setting — the music on the radio, the political events unfolding around you, the world that shaped who you became.

  • Historical and cultural context for every era of your life
  • Place names, landmarks, and local history woven into your chapters
  • Your name is never used in searches, privacy protected by design
  • Enriches the narrative without requiring any extra effort from you

Your manuscript is written, every page of it

Our Draft Generation Agent writes your full autobiography, chapter by chapter, in your voice, with a narrative arc that makes your life read like the most compelling book you've ever picked up. Your book is exactly as long as your story needs, no more, no less, and no minimum to hit. Very long stories are published as two volumes, so nothing gets left out.

  • No minimum length, your story sets the length
  • Written in your own voice, true to who you are
  • Chapters flow with narrative continuity, not just chronology
  • Very long stories become two volumes so nothing is left out
Draft Generation Agent, writing Chapter 3
"The lemon tree was the true centre of the yard, though nobody would have admitted it. It was too old and too crooked to be beautiful in the usual sense, but in the late afternoon when the sun came through at an angle, its waxy leaves turned a colour that had no proper name…"

Your story is reviewed, refined and approved

Before anything is published, our QC Agent reviews the full manuscript, checking narrative quality, factual consistency, ethical compliance and personal accuracy. Then you do. Up to ten rounds of revisions are included, so the final book is exactly as you want it.

  • Narrative quality and continuity checked across the full manuscript
  • Defamation and ethical flags raised for your personal review
  • Up to 10 revision drafts included with every package
  • Optional human writer oversight available on Human Touch packages

Finding the perfect title for your story

A title is not just a label. It is the first impression, the invitation, the thing people remember. Once your manuscript is approved, our storytelling team reads your book in full and suggests a selection of titles drawn directly from the language, themes and moments inside it. You choose the one that feels most like you, or bring one of your own.

  • Multiple title options generated from your actual story
  • Subtitle and tagline suggestions included
  • Titles reflect your voice, not a generic template
  • You have the final say, always

The team behind your book

Six dedicated agents. One extraordinary story.

Our agents were developed with the storytelling instincts of award-winning television and documentary filmmakers — people who know that the most compelling stories don't live in the headlines. They live in the quiet, specific details of an ordinary Tuesday.

The Interviewer

Story Agent

Conducts your interview, one question at a time, following threads, knowing when to push deeper and when to let you run.

The Researcher

World Context Agent

Searches historical, geographic and cultural records to place your story in its true time and place, invisibly enriching every chapter.

The Writer

Draft Generation Agent

Writes your full manuscript chapter by chapter, in your voice, with narrative continuity across every page — as long as your story needs, no more, no less.

The Editor

QC Agent

Reviews the full manuscript for narrative quality, voice consistency, ethical compliance and factual accuracy before it reaches you.

The Designer

Cover Design Agent

Creates a custom book cover, title, visual design, typography, matched to the mood, era and genre of your story.

The Archivist

Ingestion Agent

Gathers and structures your existing data. LinkedIn history, photo metadata, life events, into a rich timeline before your interview even begins.

"The best documentary filmmakers don't ask big questions. They ask small ones — and then they listen. Our agents were trained on the same principle: the story of a life is always in the detail, never in the summary."
