A gentle prompt, each week
We ask one beautiful question at a time — drawn from a curated library, then deepened by AI follow-ups personal to the storyteller's life.
A memoir, in their own voice
The stories we love. Kept, in the voices we miss.
Aeterna turns weekly voice recordings into a beautifully written memoir — preserved in your loved one's own phrasing, their own voice, and their own way of telling a story. So one day, a grandchild can still hear it.

How it works
A memoir, written one quiet conversation at a time.
02
They tell the story
One big record button. No menus, no friction. Talk for a minute or an hour — Aeterna listens and transcribes with care.
03
We write it in their voice
Not a sterile summary. Aeterna polishes the transcript while keeping the storyteller's phrasing, humor, and rhythm intact.
04
A keepsake that lives on
Chapters bind into a printable memoir. Family can listen in the storyteller's own voice — and one day, even speak with them.
The voice that stays
Hear the laugh. The pause. The way they always told it.
With consent, Aeterna creates a faithful recreation of the storyteller's voice. Family can replay any chapter and hear it in their words — and later, ask questions and have a conversation, even when the storyteller isn't there.
Voice-faithful playback
Every chapter can be heard in the storyteller's own voice, generated only after explicit consent.
"Talk to Grandma" mode
An AI grounded in the memoir, speaking in their voice. Bedtime stories, recipes, old jokes — all in their style.
Owner-controlled
The storyteller decides who can listen, who can converse, and can disable it anytime.
Chapter 14
The summer of the orange bicycle
"That bicycle was the colour of marmalade, and I loved it more than anything I'd ever owned. I'd ride it down to the harbour just to feel the wind catch my hair — same hair you've all inherited, by the way…"
