AI Memoir and Biography Writer
The memoir writer in AI Ghostwriter helps you put a life story on paper, yours or a grandparent's. It can prepare 8-40 interview questions grouped by theme, or turn rough notes and transcripts into a memoir that opens with a scene. Instead of inventing names, dates or places, it leaves a [?: what to ask] note where something is missing, and it keeps the person's own turns of phrase.

Questions
What questions should I ask my grandparents about their life?
Open-ended ones that bring back sensory memories, like “What did that house smell like?”, grouped by stage of life: childhood and family, youth, work, turning points, looking back. The writer prepares 8-40 of them and suggests follow-ups for some.
Can I turn an interview transcript into a memoir?
Yes. Paste the transcript or your notes as they are; the memoir opens with a scene, tells the events as one story and closes with a short link to the present.
Will it add things that didn't happen?
It's told not to: no events, people, names, dates or places that aren't in your notes. Where something is missing, it leaves a note like [?: what to ask] for you to fill in.
Is it a memoir or a biography?
Either. Choose first person (in their own words) or third person (biography) under More details.
Does it keep the way the person talks?
Yes. The person's own expressions and regional turns of phrase are kept, and the red pen leaves them and the [?: ...] notes alone.
How long can a memoir piece be?
About 600, 1,200 or 2,500 words per piece. For a longer family history, write one piece per period of the person's life.
