Getting Started

What do I need to get started?

Just a birth year and a few minutes. Life Mining walks you through your life decade by decade with simple prompts — where you lived, where you went to school, where you worked. Sign up and pick up where you left off anytime.

What if I can't remember everything?

That's exactly what Life Mining is designed for. Start with the easy stuff — an address, a school, a job title. Research in reminiscence therapy shows that recalling accessible memories opens the door to the harder-to-reach ones.

Privacy & Security

Is my data private?

Yes. All sensitive fields — names, addresses, events, and descriptions — are encrypted before storage. Only you can read them. We do not sell your data or use it to train AI models.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Download your complete life story as a PDF at any time before canceling. After account deletion, your data is permanently removed from our servers.

The AI & Memoir

How does the AI generate my memoir?

When you run the Book Tool, Life Mining gathers everything you've entered — homes, jobs, schools, life events, golden moments — and sends it to an AI writing model. The AI organizes the material chronologically and writes a structured memoir in the voice you select. It typically takes 30–60 seconds.

Can I edit the generated memoir?

Yes — the generated memoir is formatted text you can copy, print, or download. Add more memories and run it again; the book gets richer with each pass.

Plans & Pricing

Is there a free version?

Yes. The free plan lets you add up to 40 life events per month and explore most features. Paid plans remove watermarks and raise event limits significantly.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, cancel anytime from your account settings. You keep access until the end of your billing period.
