Your Manchester, in your own words

The Millyard

The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company grew into a textile giant and shaped the whole city. Today the Millyard Museum fills Mill No. 3, telling Manchester's story from its earliest people to the present. Maybe people you knew worked in the mills, or you work in one of those old buildings now. What does work mean to you? Tell your family and friends about the jobs that shaped you and the coworkers you still think about.

Traditions you carry

Every city is shaped by people arriving from somewhere else, each bringing their own foods, languages and customs. Whether your roots here go back generations or you arrived just last year, traditions like these live on in kitchens and holidays. What dish, saying or custom do you want to pass along? Write down how you learned it and why it matters to you, so it travels forward with the people you love.

Four seasons of routines

New England seasons each bring their own chores and pleasures, from shoveling the walk to sitting outside on a warm evening. How do you get through a cold stretch? What do you look forward to when the weather turns? Your everyday routines may feel ordinary, but to the people after you, they will be a window into your life. Share them, along with what you think about the world today and where you hope it is heading.

The guide, in brief

Answers in your words, with care

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.

Three easy steps

No writing experience needed, and no deadline.

  1. Answer in your own words

    A few sentences is plenty. Type them, or speak them with your device's dictation.

  2. Write about anything else

    Beyond the daily question, add any story, view or advice you want to keep.

  3. Name your people

    Choose who will receive your record one day. Change your mind whenever you like.
