Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles has old movie ranches tucked in its hills and a story on every block, and the truest ones belong to the people who live there. Yours is one of them, and you are the only one who can tell it.
Try it free for 7 days. Only you can see your record. Never public or searchable.
Which taco truck, bakery or bus route in your corner of Los Angeles feels most like yours?
Los Angeles is full of storytellers, yet the story of your own block may never reach a screen, and it does not need to. Speak your answers aloud with your device's dictation or type them on a lunch break, one question a day, and they stay private while you live. Someone you love may walk your streets one day with your words as their guide.

Griffith Observatory has stood on the southern slope of Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park since 1935. The city owns and runs it, and admission is free. Have you looked through a telescope there, or watched the city lights come on below? Tell about the nights out you still think about, and who you shared them with. Was it a first date, a birthday, or just a clear night you could not pass up?
The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area gives Los Angeles a national park of its own, with more than 500 miles of trails, the famous beaches of Malibu and old movie ranches tucked into the hills. Do you hike, surf or just drive the canyon roads with the windows down? Write about the places you escape to when the week gets long, and why they matter to you. The trails will still be there, but your version of them is one of a kind.
Los Angeles can feel like dozens of towns stitched together, each with its own food, music and pace. Your corner has a flavor all its own: the taco truck you swear by, the bakery that knows your order, the bus route you rode for years. Describe it in detail. Someone who cares about you may one day want to walk those streets with your words as their guide. Include the parking tricks, too.
Gently, in your own time.
Each one is written to bring back a real moment, not to test you.
Everything you write is kept as you wrote it, with the day you wrote it.
You name who receives it and when it can be read, within our waiting period.
Never public
Your record cannot be searched or seen by anyone else while you are living.
Never invented
The guide quotes you exactly and never makes up an opinion in your name.
Never a likeness
We keep text only, so there is nothing anyone could use to recreate your voice or face.
Always your choice
Who receives your record, and whether a guide is offered, is decided by you.
The guide, in brief
The guide is an AI that helps the people you name find what you said. It shows your words as exact, dated quotes and never speaks for you.
Quotes, not paraphrase
Your exact sentences, inserted from your record.
Disclosed as AI
Every conversation reminds people it is an AI, not you.
When there is no answer
It says Unknown rather than invent one.
Answer one friendly question a day in your own words, typed or with your device's own dictation. With Archive Membership, the people you choose can one day ask a guide about your life, and it will answer only with your words, quoted and dated, never pretending to be you.
