What is Kindred Tales?
Kindred Tales helps families record a loved one's life story and turn it into a bound book. Over a year, the storyteller answers weekly prompts by email, by typing, by speaking, or by talking with an AI biographer that asks follow-up questions. The stories and photos are then printed as a full-color hardcover memoir, which suits families who want to preserve memories from someone who may not enjoy writing.
