LOOK INSIDE THE EXPERIENCE
Talk. Review. Keep.
From the first question to a story worth keeping. Explore the process through an illustrative childhood memory.
What did home sound like when you were little?
“Mum always had the radio on in the kitchen. Dad would whistle along, usually out of tune. On Sundays, you could hear the kettle before anyone said a word.”
The radio. Dad’s whistling. The kettle on a Sunday morning.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT WONDER
Your story.
Your way.
How does HelloYears help me tell my story?
Start with a memory and speak in your own words. The AI interviewer helps you explore the details, and your stories become a memoir draft you can review and edit.
Who is it for?
For parents, grandparents, and anyone with a life story to share. You don’t need a famous life or writing experience—just memories you want to keep.
Can I change the words or skip a question?
Yes. You set the pace, choose what to share and review the writing. Correct names, dates and details, and make sure the finished story sounds like you.
What will my finished book include?
A carefully designed printed memoir with your stories and chosen images, plus chapter QR codes for listening. We can help restore old photos and create clearly labelled AI imagery. You approve the words, images and layout before printing; your order specifies the format and included services. Explore our memoir service.
What do the book’s QR codes play?
They play your original storytelling recordings. The book’s text is edited for reading, while the audio preserves how you told the story, including your voice and emotion. You choose which recordings to share with your book.
Will the AI invent parts of my story?
The memoir should be grounded in what you share. AI can make mistakes, so review the draft and check the facts before sharing or printing it.
Where can I see an example?
Read our sample memoir to see the writing and its source notes. The sample stories are fictional, and the website’s family and book imagery is AI-generated.
