Meet your biographer

Oshin is the editor
you'd hire if you
could only hire one.

She's not a chatbot. She's a fully-trained biographical AI — she conducts live interviews, listens to recordings in any language, reviews photographs, and works with you across months to shape every chapter. The more you give her, the better the book becomes.

Live interviewing

Oshin runs warm, structured Zoom interviews with relatives and friends. She asks follow-up questions and finds the stories that matter.

Voice memory

Drop in any audio — old voicemails, hospice recordings, voice notes. She transcribes, indexes, and preserves the actual cadence.

Photo intelligence

She studies your photos across decades — the patterns in a smile, the way a hand was always held, the dress that appeared three times. The details you missed.

Era research

What flying across the world was actually like in 1962. What people listened to in 1978. Oshin recovers the texture of the decades your subject lived through.

Always drafting

Every new memory updates the draft. You see three voice variants for each passage and pick the one that sounds most like the truth.

How a book gets made

A book that grows
every time you

There's no "submit and wait." Oshin works alongside you for as long as the book needs. Every new conversation, photograph, or recording becomes part of the next draft — automatically.

01 / Tell Oshin

Who the book is for

Have a 20-minute conversation with Oshin. She learns who the subject is, what you have, what kind of book you want.

02 / Feed her memories

Upload everything

Old recordings, voicemails, Zoom calls, photos, letters. Drop in whatever you have. Add more anytime.

03 / Live interviews

Oshin runs Zoom calls

She schedules and conducts interviews with relatives and friends. You can sit in or skip them. She extracts the stories.

04 / Shape & print

Approve and bind

Review variants of every passage. Pick the best. Approve. We print on archival paper in a Smyth-sewn linen hardcover.

Always updating

The draft grows
as you live.

Every new input on the left becomes part of the manuscript on the right. Open Oshin anytime and the book has grown since you last looked.

Chapter II · Where she came from

The Courtyard, the Neem, and the
Door That Was Always Locked

She was born in a house her grandfather built in Karol Bagh, on a street that no longer exists by the same name. In the corner of the second courtyard there was a neem tree, planted the year her mother married into the house, and she climbed it for the first time at four — without permission, without telling anyone, the way she would do most of the important things in her life.

The object

An heirloom
that looks like the
books you love.

We obsessed over this part. The trim, the paper, the cloth, the type. Bookbinders in Vermont print every copy on archival Mohawk paper, in Smyth-sewn linen-over-board covers, with foil-stamped titles. The kind of book you'd find on a museum gift shop's top shelf.

Your family's
memories never
leave your device.

Oshin runs on local models. Every transcription, every photo analysis, every draft happens on hardware you control. We never see your data. OpenAI never sees it. No third-party API ever sees it. Built this way from day one because the alternative wasn't acceptable.

  • Local-only inference — voice and photo analysis run on your machine
  • Zero data retention on our servers — we don't store recordings or drafts
  • End-to-end encrypted family sharing for interview scheduling
  • Open-source model weights — you can audit what Oshin is
  • SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. HIPAA-ready for memorial contexts.

Why local-first? Voice notes of your dying parent, intimate stories from your sister, photos of your kids. This data should never become training data. So we built Oshin so it can't.
A different promise

Built for finished books,
not abandoned drafts.

Most life-story apps sell you a subscription, send weekly prompts, and quietly accept that 8 out of 10 books never get printed. We built Oshin the opposite way. She works as long as the book needs — but she also delivers a real digital first-draft on day one, so you have something complete from the very beginning. The book gets better. It never disappears.

Same digital first-draft and tribute video on day one, in every edition. What differs is how the book gets made from there — how much of the craft is AI, how much is a human biographer, editor, and bookbinder working alongside Oshin.
