Why we built this

Generational Letters exists because stories slip away quietly. My family had a recording from my grandparents that was beautiful—and tiny compared to everything we never captured. I kept planning to go back. I didn't get there in time.

So we built something different: Eleanor, a biographical assistant who calls your loved one, guides a real conversation, and leaves you with a printed letter and recordings you can keep in your account. They don't need apps for the call—no weekly writing homework for them. Just talking, the way humans have always passed things down, while you handle scheduling and the vault online.

We're biased toward phone calls, heavy paper, and audio you can replay because that's what we wish we'd had more of in our own drawers.
