Grandparents book
A grandparents book: their life story, before it fades.
Where they grew up, how they met, the jobs they worked and the stories they tell at the table. We turn your family’s memories into a real book about your grandparents, written chapter by chapter and printed as a hardcover.

Tell us about your grandparents
Your Story Director is an AI assistant that asks about their childhood, their love story, their work and the sayings everyone remembers. Answer at your own pace, alone or with your family.
Tell your story; it becomes your book. Your first 5 messages are free — no account, no credit card. You only create your space if you want to keep going, and nothing you shared is lost.
Your Story Director
Hi, and welcome. I'm your Story Director, an AI assistant. Together we'll gather the memories that will shape a literary portrait of the person you want to honor. Take all the time you need. First, tell me: who are we going to talk about, and how are you connected to them?
Loading the conversation…
Not a fill-in journal. A finished book.
Guided journals and weekly question services ask your grandparents to do the writing. Many families love the idea, but the book stays half empty. With Notre Livre, you gather the memories, and we write the full story: a literary biography of 120 to 250 pages, told in the third person.
The book can follow one grandparent or the couple, from the day they met to the family they built. Photos are optional and unlimited. Every package includes a hardcover printed in the USA plus PDF and EPUB files, so every grandchild can keep a copy.
The text is written with AI from the memories you share, and you review every chapter. It never invents facts about your grandparents: where memories are missing, the story stays faithful to what you told us. This is not a human ghostwriting service.

What to expect
Honest about AI
The writing is AI-assisted. Check names, dates, relationships and sensitive passages: a smooth sentence can still contain a mistake. In all nine packages, corrections to the existing text are unlimited before your final approval. This does not include a free reprint after approval.
Realistic timing
Estimated timing: the digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief, whatever the package. Printed books usually ship within 7 business days of your final approval, plus transit time within the United States. Shipping is not arrival: also allow time to gather memories and to review and correct the text. These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date.
