Papa speaking

"When an elder dies, a library burns to the ground."

- West African Proverb

For 65,000 years, humanity has used storytelling to preserve its identity, wisdom, and soul. Your family's stories are a sacred library of irreplaceable knowledge. StorySmith was founded on one core belief: we must ensure the library doesn't burn.

A Simple & Dignified Process

1. A Gentle Conversation

The storyteller enjoys natural, voice-first conversations with Peg, their warm and patient AI companion. No writing, no typing, and no technical skill required.

2. A Shared Journey

Family and friends are invited to privately contribute questions the storyteller can explore. This weaves the entire family into the story.

3. A Timeless Heirloom

Our dedicated team professionally curates and designs their stories into a stunning hardback book, delivered directly to their door.

Meet Peg: Your AI Guide

Have a 5-minute chat with Peg. You can experience a mini storytelling session, or ask her any questions you have about the StorySmith Legacy journey.

Our Promise to Your Family

When you entrust us with a life story, we take that responsibility seriously. Here is exactly what you can expect from The Spoken Legacy experience.

For The Storyteller

  • 01.
    Patience, Always. Peg is designed to listen, wait, and encourage. She never gets tired, never interrupts, and never judges. It is a pressure-free zone.
  • 02.
    Zero Tech Frustration. We promise a true voice-first experience. If they can speak, they can do this. No typing, no complex logins, no "learning curve."
  • 03.
    Real Human Support. While Peg conducts the interviews, our human team watches over the process. If they get stuck or need help, a real person is just a message away.

For The Legacy

  • 01.
    Their Voice, Not AI's. We use AI to transcribe and organize, not to invent. We promise never to "hallucinate" memories or alter the core truth of their stories.
  • 02.
    Heirloom Quality. This is not a print-out. We promise a professionally bound, hardcover coffee-table book that meets the highest publishing standards.
  • 03.
    You Have Final Say. Nothing goes to print until you review the digital proof. You and your family retain full editorial control over what stays in and what stays out.

Meet Tai, the Guardian of Your Stories

Hi, I'm Tai. The reason I'm leading this journey is pretty personal.

My Papa passed away when I was eight, and he was full of stories I never got to hear. I really wish I could hear his voice again, to understand the world he lived in and the man he was. It's the same for the great-grandparents I never got to meet—knowing their stories are gone for good is a heavy feeling.

That feeling is the whole reason my mum, Lian, came up with StorySmith. She had the vision but not the time, and I was looking for something meaningful to pour my energy into. When she asked if I wanted to take the lead, it just felt right.

So now, I'm building The Spoken Legacy for my Papa. I'm building it for the ancestors I never knew. And I'm building it for your family, so you can have the recordings I wish I had.

My hope is that no other family has to feel that silence where a story should be.

Thank you for being here, and for trusting us with something so important.
