What is Kindred Tales?

Kindred Tales is a memoir‑creation platform that records and compiles a loved one’s life story into a hardcover book. It provides 52 weekly prompts that can be answered by email, typed text, voice recordings, or an AI interview. The AI biographer, Ali, asks follow‑up questions to uncover details and drafts polished narrative chapters.

Speech‑to‑text transcription eliminates typing, while users can also upload existing audio files for conversion. Stories are assembled in an online editor that lets users place photos directly beside the text. Once finalized, a high‑quality matte‑finished hardcover is produced, preserving family history for future generations.
