The Long Way to Buffalo

A residency, a Pontiac, and the nurse at the front desk

T he Pontiac didn't have air conditioning, and by the time I crossed into Erie County the back of my shirt was soaked through. I pulled into the staff lot at Buffalo General on a Saturday in July of 1976 — two days early, and entirely unexpected.

The woman behind the desk took one look at me and laughed, not unkindly. Her name was Eleanor. I did not know, in that moment, that I was looking at my wife.

My dad and me

We built Biographer for my parents. My dad used it before he passed away. We captured his stories while he was here to tell them — his phrasing, the details only he knew.

From people writing theirs

"I didn't think anyone would want my stories. Biographer made me feel like every one of them mattered — and now my daughters have them in writing."

"It doesn't feel like typing into a machine. It feels like the long talks I used to have on the porch — except this time, it's all being saved."

Questions, answered.

Do I have to write anything myself?

No. Talk out loud or type short replies; Biographer does the writing. Edit anything afterward, but most people barely change a word.

Will it still sound like me?

Yes. Biographer uses your memories, phrasing, and details. You can edit anything.

Can I turn the chapters into a full book?

Yes. Each session creates another chapter. Over time they become a complete memoir.

How much time does it take?

Ten minutes a session, whenever you like. Most people do one or two a week.

What does it cost?

Biographer is free. There is no trial, subscription, paid plan, or credit card required.

What happens to my stories if Biographer goes away?

Your chapters are yours. Export everything — text and audio — anytime. Nothing is locked to us.

Memoir, autobiography, or biography: what's the difference?

They overlap. A memoir centers on the moments that mattered; an autobiography covers your full life. Biographer handles either. You talk; it writes.

Why not just hire a ghostwriter?

A memoir ghostwriter can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months before you see a word. Biographer is free and gives you a finished chapter after a conversation.

Is Biographer an app?

Yes — you use it in your browser, no download. You talk; it writes the chapter.
