Tell me about a place you remember well.

A sample conversation

What one question can turn into.

A sample, written to show the steps - not anybody’s real answer. The practice story at the end is only what she said.

  1. Rosie asks

    Tell me about a place you remember well.

  2. She answers

    “A row house on Ridge Street. Nine of us in four rooms. In winter my father banked the coal stove last thing at night, and the last sound I heard was the scuttle going back down on the hearth.”

  3. Rosie picks up on a detail

    That sound stayed with you. Was your father always the last one up?

  4. She answers again

    “Always. He’d look in on every one of us before he went to bed. I used to pretend to be asleep so he’d stay a minute longer.”

  5. Her practice story - her own words

    A row house on Ridge Street. Nine of us in four rooms. In winter my father banked the coal stove last thing at night, and the last sound I heard was the scuttle going back down on the hearth.

    Always. He’d look in on every one of us before he went to bed. I used to pretend to be asleep so he’d stay a minute longer.

    In a real memoir, Rosie keeps going from here - and the storyteller decides what the book says.

What just happened

Follow-up questions find the stories nobody thinks to tell.

Rosie did not read you the next item on a list. She listened to what you actually said, found something in it worth asking about, and asked. That is the difference between a questionnaire and a conversation - and it is how the small, specific memories come out: the ones you would never have thought to write down.

She listens

Every question after the first is built out of what you just told her - a person you mentioned, a room you described, a year you skipped past.

She remembers

In a real memoir, Rosie carries the names, places and people you have already shared from one conversation to the next. Here, she only has one question.

She writes it down

Your spoken answers become readable prose in your own words.

About this practice session

MyLifeMemoir doesn’t keep your words from this practice.

We don’t require your name or email address. Your answers may include personal information you choose to share. To run the session, some of what you say is processed by the services below, under their own policies. Here is exactly what goes where.

  • We don’t store your recording.It goes to Deepgram to be turned into words, with Deepgram’s model-improvement opt-out switched on. It never reaches our database or a file, and this page does not keep a copy to play back.
  • We don’t save your practice story either.Your words, edits and spelling corrections live on this page. To choose follow-up questions, your answers are sent to Anthropic’s Claude. Rosie’s follow-up questions are chosen from a set we wrote in advance, so they never contain your words: ElevenLabs, which gives Rosie her voice, only ever receives those fixed questions. Close this tab and the story is gone, which is also why we cannot send it to you.
  • We don’t use what you say to train AI models.That is our own commitment. Each service named above handles what it receives under its own terms.
  • We keep a usage record for each practice session.It holds a one-way hash of your connection’s internet address, a random session number and how long each recording was - none of your words. We use it to limit how often the free session can be run. Once a record is more than 30 days old, it is deleted the next time anyone starts a practice session.

In a real memoir, she remembers all of it.

The names, the places, the people you mentioned in passing three chapters ago.
