How it works
You talk. Biographer writes your stories.
It asks about your life the way a good interviewer would, follows up on what you say, and writes each story for you. All of them go into one book.

Hi, I'm Jared. I started Biographer. Here's how it works.
Biographer is like having your own personal biographer. It asks about your life, you answer, and it writes your stories for you.
First, Biographer gets to know you with a short interview. Then it goes deeper, into topics like your first job, or how you met.
You can talk out loud, or type. Whichever is easier. It can even read its questions out loud to you.
Say you mention meeting your wife at a diner in Buffalo. Biographer asks what the weather was doing, and what you noticed about her first.
It follows up the way a good interviewer would. And it remembers what you've told it, so every conversation gets a little more personal.
When you're ready, press Write Story.
It takes a little while, and we'll email you when your story is ready.
You can have it told in first person, or third person. Want to change something? Just tell Biographer, or edit it yourself.
Add your photos, too. Talk about a photo, and it becomes part of your story.
Every story is saved on your Stories page. Share one with a link, or invite your family to read along. They can even suggest what you should talk about next.
And you can invite someone you love, like your mom or your grandfather, to tell their own story.
All of your stories come together in The Book. Arrange the chapters, add a dedication, and download it any time.
When you're ready, you can order it as a printed hardcover, with your photos inside.
Your stories can become even more: a song, a podcast, a comic, a children's book, or an audio story told in your own voice.
And if you like, Biographer will text you now and then, so it's easy to keep going.
That's Biographer. Start your story at thebiographer.com.
A real interview, not a form.
Biographer listens to what you say, asks the next question, and remembers.
-
It gets to know you first
Your first conversation is a short interview: what to call you, where you grew up, who's in your family. Then Biographer goes deeper, into topics like your parents, your first job or how you met. You can also just tell whatever story is on your mind.
-
Talk or type
Answer out loud or type, whichever is easier. On a phone, Biographer opens with a big microphone button. It can also read its questions out loud to you.
-
It follows up like a good interviewer
Say you mention meeting your wife at a diner in Buffalo. Biographer asks what the weather was doing that night, and what you noticed about her first.
-
It remembers what you told it
Biographer keeps track of the people, places and details you mention, and comes back to them in later conversations. Each conversation gets a little more personal.
Your stories, written for you.
You never have to write a word, and you can change anything.
-
Press Write Story
When you're ready, press Write Story. Biographer writes the story from your conversation. It takes a little while, and we email you when it's ready.
-
Make it sound right
Choose first person ("I met Carole") or third person ("Frank met Carole"). Want to change something? Tell Biographer what to fix, or edit the words yourself. Read each story before you share it, because AI can get a detail wrong.
-
Add your photos
Add photos from your phone or computer and talk about them. What you say can become part of a story, and the photos go into your book next to your stories.
Share them with your family.
Your stories are private until you choose to share them.
-
Share a story, or invite family to read along
Every story is saved on your Stories page. Share one with a link, or invite family to read your stories as you tell them. Family you add as contributors can suggest stories and topics for you.
-
Help someone else tell theirs
Invite your mom, your grandfather or a friend to tell their own story with Biographer. You can also give it as a gift, with a note and the stories you hope to hear.
One book of your life.
Every story you tell goes into it.
-
Your stories become The Book
Choose the stories, put the chapters in order, add a dedication, and download the PDF whenever you like. It's free.
-
Order it printed
Once your book reaches 24 printed pages, order The Book as a printed hardcover with your photos inside, from $39 plus shipping.
And more than a book.
The stories you've already told can take other forms.
-
Songs, comics, a children's book
A story can become a song, a podcast, a comic, an illustrated children's book, or an audio story read in a recreated copy of your own voice. Each shows its price before you make it.
-
Reminders, if you want them
With a US or Canadian mobile number, Biographer can text you now and then so it's easy to keep going: at most twice a day, and never late at night. Reply STOP to end them.
