Before the stories scatter
Collect the memories while everyone still knows why they matter.
A New Year's memory book for hosts and families who want resolutions, reflections, turning points, and blessings preserved in one private archive. For people gathering at the end or beginning of the year, it gives everyone a reason to name what changed and what should be remembered. Autograph helps you record the voices and memories around a real occasion, then turns them into a private story archive you can relive and export. Walter, Autograph's AI biographer, makes the collection easier by guiding people with warm prompts and follow-up questions.
People remember different parts of the year, especially the details that never make a holiday card.
Families can preserve turning points while the year still feels close.
Hosts can give the gathering a simple reflective ritual without making it formal.
Find your fit
Start with the way you are helping.
Whether you are gifting, organizing, hosting, or planning, choose the page written for your role and the people you need to invite.
Included
Invite people once. Get back something you can actually keep.
No public wall, inbox chase, or spreadsheet cleanup. Contributors can record with Walter or answer in writing, and you receive an organized story library with files you can relive, review, and export.
Invite contributors by link
Send one private invitation link where contributors can share a voice memory, write a story, or let Walter guide them through the prompt.
No app required
Contributors can respond from a phone with voice notes or written answers, without installing anything.
Private story library
Collected memories stay organized for the family instead of scattering across texts, forms, and inboxes.
Downloadable story package
Receive audio files, written responses, transcripts, contributor details, and export-ready story data. Export that data as an audiobook, slideshow, digital encyclopedia, and coming soon, premium printed book.

Who to invite
