AI Life Story and Memoir Builder

Every life contains treasure.

Life Mining helps you dig up the stories, organize them on a visual timeline, and generate a personalized memoir — powered by AI and grounded in 60 years of reminiscence science.

How It Works

1. Lay the Track

Begin with what's easy to recall — the homes you lived in, the schools you attended. Upload your resume or enter your work history one job at a time. In twenty minutes you can have decades mapped out on a visual timeline.

2. Mine the Memories

With the track in place, the buried stories surface. Add life events decade by decade — milestones, turning points, golden moments, and the stormy times that shaped who you are.

3. Run the Book Tool

Choose a writing voice, hit generate, and Life Mining's AI weaves everything into a personalized memoir — organized, readable, and ready to share with the people you love.

The Science Behind It

Twenty-six gold-standard randomized controlled trials — and more than 2,700 participants — show that structured reminiscence improves mood, sharpens cognition, and raises quality of life. The field traces back to psychiatrist Robert Butler's landmark 1963 paper, which reframed personal memory recall as more than nostalgia — a natural, adaptive process he called the life review. Life Mining starts with what's easy to recall — an address, a school, a job. Recalling the clear and close loosens what's dim and distant, and the buried stories begin to surface.

What Else You Can Do

Joy Stacker

A daily practice built on positive psychology. Each session prompts you to recall and record small wins, gratitudes, and joyful moments. Over time, the brain's negativity bias shifts.

Cars You've Owned

Every car is a time capsule. The 1987 Civic you drove to your first job, the minivan full of kids. Life Mining has a dedicated section for your automotive history.

Medical History

Illnesses, surgeries, recoveries — they are part of the story. Document the health journey alongside everything else, in a private, encrypted space.
