How it works

LegacyStream pairs the warmth of a Sunday-afternoon conversation with the craft of a professional memoir. Here is the whole journey, from gift to heirloom.

1. 1. You plant the seeds

   In about fifteen minutes you tell us the essentials: who your parent is, the names that matter, and three to five family legends you have always wanted to hear in full. This becomes your parent's private interview blueprint.

2. 2. They receive an invitation, not a chore

   Your parent gets a message: a private biographer has been reserved in their name, and the first decade of their story is already outlined. One tap on a secure link - no passwords, no accounts, no setup - and they are welcomed in.

3. 3. Session 0 - Getting to know them

   A short, relaxed get-to-know-you chat. The biographer uses your seeds to sketch the chapters of their life together and writes a professional prologue. It stays light - no deep questions yet - and you receive the plan and prologue within a day.

4. 4. Weeks 1 & 2 - The first chapters

   The biographer returns to their most vivid memories and turns them into full chapters, polished like a professional memoir. The intro session and these first two chapters are free - you decide afterwards whether to continue the journey.

5. 5. The weekly ritual

   Every week, one warm conversation becomes one chapter. You read it side by side with the original transcript, ask the editor for changes in plain language, attach photos, and seal it for the book.

6. 6. The book

   After the final session, the chapters are typeset into a full-color, library-bound hardcover - and a digital edition your family keeps forever.
