Generation takes 15-30 seconds. The AI removes filler words, organizes your thoughts, and creates readable prose while keeping your voice.

Standard vs Advanced tone

Standard (available now): Cleans up the transcript, removes filler words, maintains your exact voice.

Advanced (coming soon): Offers additional tone options for different contexts.

Available on Storyteller+ and Family Plan when it launches.

Tips for better stories

Before recording:

  • Think about the memory you want to share
  • Don't script it, just think through the key points
  • Find a quiet space

While recording:

  • Speak naturally like telling a friend
  • Include details (who, what, when, where, why)
  • Describe what you saw, heard, felt
  • Don't worry about "um" and "uh"

After generation:

  • Review the story
  • Edit any errors
  • Answer AI questions to expand the story
  • Add to a collection

What makes a good story

  • Specific details (names, dates, places)
  • Sensory details (sights, sounds, smells)
  • Emotions and feelings
  • Context about why this matters
  • Natural, conversational tone
