⏳ The window closes. Every day without a recording is a story that may never be told. An 83-year-old has, on average, less than 7 years left. Start today — even a single voice message changes everything.

Why Heirloom Exists

He waited one year.
His father died three days before the recording.

"I kept thinking I'd get to it. I had the number. I had the plan. And then I got the call. I will carry this regret for the rest of my life — not because he died, but because I let his stories die with him."

— Former MD, Fortune 50 Technology Company. His father's voice: gone forever.

This isn't a rare story. It's the most common regret of adult children everywhere. We think we have time. We don't book the visit. We don't press record. And then one day, there's nothing left to capture.

Heirloom was built to end this regret — with a service so simple that an 83-year-old can begin in a single phone call, and so powerful that his great-grandchildren can hear his voice and ask him questions decades from now.

AI Builds Their Story. Humans Polish It.

Our AI processes every recording — identifying themes, organizing stories, generating a draft memoir. Then a human editor reviews and refines it. The result reads like it was written by a professional biographer who knew them personally.

0:40 Asian-American man reflecting
★★★★★
"My father passed three days before our first recording. I signed up for Heirloom three weeks after his funeral — too late for him. So I started with my mother. Eight sessions in, my twelve-year-old son asked his grandmother a question through the Heirloom AI. She answered in her voice, with a story I'd never heard. I can't get my father back. But my grandchildren will know exactly who their grandmother was."
David K. — Bergen County, NJ
0:35 Korean-American woman smiling warmly
★★★★★
"My grandfather in Seoul is 88. He doesn't speak English. He doesn't use computers. I live in New Jersey. With Heirloom we call him on Sundays. He talks to my uncle in Korean. The AI transcribes, translates, and every Monday I read a new story — his brothers during the war, the restaurant he opened in 1962. My daughter is three. She'll grow up knowing her great-grandfather's voice. In Korean and English. That's 효도."
Sarah K. — Fort Lee, NJ / Seoul, Korea
0:38 Gen X father at home
★★★★★
"I'm 47. My best friend died of a heart attack at 46 two months ago. His kids will grow up not knowing who he was. So I'm not just recording my parents — I'm recording myself. Once a week, 20 minutes. My voice, my stories, my values — stored for my kids. If something happens to me, they'll still have me. It's the best $99 a month I spend. And I hope they never need it."
Michael T. — Princeton, NJ

"My mother was diagnosed in January. By April she had trouble finishing sentences. I wish I'd started a year earlier. What we captured in January — her voice telling how she met my father — my kids will replay for 50 years."

— Lisa M., Bergen County, NJ

"I'm a pastor. I've officiated 200+ funerals. I've never heard 'I wish we'd saved more money.' I hear 'I wish we'd recorded more stories' at nearly every one. Heirloom is what I wish I'd had for my own father."

— Rev. David H., Atlanta, GA

"My father-in-law is 79. We've had 11 Heirloom sessions. Last week I realized: I actually know him now. After 22 years of marriage to his daughter, I finally know him. That alone is worth the monthly price."

— Michael T., San Diego, CA

Who It's For

Every family has stories worth keeping.

Heirloom works for any situation where wisdom is at risk of being lost forever.

👴

Aging Parents (75-90+)

The most urgent use case. Time is finite. Stories captured today become the greatest gift you'll ever give your children.

👨‍👦

For Your Own Children

You may not always be there. Capture yourself — your values, your stories, your hopes for them — now, while you can speak clearly and fully.

🏢

Family Business Legacy

Preserve the founder's vision, values, and culture. Let the next generation ask the founder what they should do when things get hard.

🌍

Immigrant Families

Your parents crossed oceans to build a better life. Their story of sacrifice and courage deserves to be heard by every generation that follows.

⚕️

Health Diagnoses

A diagnosis changes everything. Heirloom gives families a clear, urgent action — capture the stories before they're lost to illness or time.

🎖️

Veterans & Survivors

Their experiences must not be forgotten. Heirloom has preserved Holocaust survivors, Korean War veterans, and civil rights witnesses.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Yes — and this is exactly who we built Heirloom for. Your parent doesn't need to do anything except answer their regular phone or WhatsApp. We call them (or you call them with us on the line), we ask the questions, they talk. That's it. No apps. No passwords. No setup on their end.
They can speak in any language they're comfortable in. We fully support Korean, Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, and more. All recordings are transcribed and translated by AI with human review. The final memoir and AI persona can be bilingual — so your son hears both the Korean and English versions of his grandfather's stories.
The AI is built entirely from their actual recordings, stories, and values. It is grounded in what they actually said. It won't invent opinions or positions they never expressed. Think of it as a knowledgeable, wise version of them — able to answer questions about their life, share their stories, and offer the wisdom they actually expressed during capture. It uses their real voice (via voice clone) so it sounds like them. It is clearly presented as a "legacy AI" — not a claim that they are still alive.
Whatever is captured is preserved, no matter how much or how little. Even a single 30-minute conversation is enough to begin. We can work with what exists — phone voicemails, WhatsApp messages, videos, old letters — to build the richest possible legacy from what remains. Start today with whatever you have.
On our Legacy and Eternal plans, we guarantee 25 years of preserved access. We also provide full data exports (audio files, transcripts, AI model files) so your family is never dependent solely on us. The recordings and transcripts are yours — forever.
LifeBook charges £7,500+ (~$9,500) for a memoir book alone — no AI, no voice, no avatar. StoryWorth ($99/year) collects text stories and prints a basic book — no AI, no voice, no avatar. Heirloom is the only service that combines frictionless story capture, professional memoir production, voice preservation, and a conversational AI your grandchildren can talk to — at a price accessible to every family.
Absolutely — and this is one of our most emotionally powerful use cases. If you have a 3-year-old today, Heirloom lets you record your own stories, values, and advice now. When your child turns 10, 15, 21 — they can open the vault and hear your voice, ask you questions, and receive the wisdom you wanted to pass down. You don't have to wait until you're old. Start now.
