What is Life Story AI?
Life Story AI is an app that uses artificial intelligence to help you write your autobiography or the biography of a parent or loved one. The final product is a real physical book of up to 250-350 pages, printed in color and shipped to you by mail. You can choose the style of your life story, customize the cover with your own photo or image, and edit or delete chapters as you wish.
Lisa is the artificial intelligence that acts as your personal biographer. She transcribes your voice into text in 7 languages (French, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch), formats your story into a pleasant literary style, and guides you with personalized questions if you lack inspiration. No typing is required - you simply speak your answers. Lisa asks relevant questions based on previous answers, offers multiple question choices, and allows you to create your own questions with no limit.
The tool is perfect for preserving a parent's memories, telling your grandparents' story, writing your own life story, creating a family history book, documenting a child's birth or early years, recording a relationship story, preserving professional journeys, or creating a travel journal. You can invite loved ones to contribute with different roles: main author, co-authors who help write, interviewers who ask questions, and subscribers who receive stories weekly. The app includes a printable gift card option for giving the experience to others.
Key features include: one question from Lisa every week by email, voice transcription in 7 languages, literary rewriting for polished style, customization of cover and title, adding up to 40 photos to chapters, editing or removing any text, generating custom links for family to order their own copies, tracking orders from a dashboard, 6-24 months access duration depending on plan, and digital export in PDF/ePub/text format. The service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and free worldwide shipping on paid plans.

Lisa is the artificial intelligence that acts as your personal biographer. She transcribes your voice into text, formats your story, and can guide you with questions whenever you need inspiration. She asks personalized questions based on previous answers and can rewrite everything into a pleasant literary style.
Can I write a book for my parent instead of myself?
Yes. In that case, you become the interviewer and use the app in the presence of your parent. You can sit with them and handle the app for them, or show them once how it works and let them continue independently afterward.
How many people can participate in writing the book?
It depends on your plan: solo on Starter (1 author only), duo on Author (you + 1 guest), and up to 10 participants on Family plan. Participants can have roles as main author, co-authors, interviewers, or subscribers.
How long does it take to write the book?
In general, it takes between 10 and 20 hours of recording to write the book. That usually means roughly 3 to 6 afternoons of recording your answers to Lisa's questions.
Can I give Life Story AI as a gift?
Yes. After purchase, you can print the gift card and offer it. It includes an activation code. This is an original gift for parents, grandparents, and close family members.
Can I order additional copies of my book?
Yes. If you are happy with the first copy, you can order more at the price associated with your plan: $59 per book on Starter, $39 per book on Author, and $29 per book on Family plan.
Do I have to answer Lisa's questions?
Yes. Lisa's guidance and questions are optional, so you can tell the story you want to tell. You can always choose from several questions, answer some and skip others, or create your own questions with no limit.

Yes. The printed book is limited to a maximum of 250 pages. The Family and Author plans can produce up to 350 color pages.
