Legacy Questions: Interviewing the Living Before Time Runs Out

Time is the constraint that makes legacy work urgent: you cannot recover a conversation that was never recorded, or ask a question to someone who is gone. Interviewing while you still can transforms a future loss into a present act of love.

Why It Matters

Legacy questions are structured, meaningful prompts designed to draw out personal histories, values, and life stories from loved ones while they are still able to share them, preserving their voice and perspective for future generations.

AI can generate deeply personalized legacy question sets based on what you already know about a person, help you organize and archive the answers into lasting memory documents, and transform raw interview notes into polished narrative keepsakes that honor a life fully lived.
