Fablr is the world's most advanced biography service: a real time voice biographer that interviews like a patient friend, sees the photographs a family shares, and turns spoken memories into a hardcover book in the storyteller's own words.
This is an AI story and a human story at once. Fablr uses the most advanced AI available to remove every barrier between a storyteller and their memoir: nothing to install, nothing to type, no prompts to answer, no blank page to face. If they can take a phone call, they can do this, on any device with a microphone: a computer, tablet, or phone.
A message from Jim, founder of FablrDownload MP4Read the transcript
Every person has a story worth preserving. And most of us have someone we've loved and lost. Someone whose stories we would give anything to hear again.
Maybe you've tried to help someone you love preserve those memories. Perhaps you bought them a kit to write their biography, hoping the weekly prompts would make it easy. That's what my brother and I did with our dad. He wanted to do it. He really tried. But every prompt felt like another homework assignment, and eventually the blank page won.
That experience led us to create Fablr, a conversational biographer built for the way people naturally tell stories, out loud, in conversation. Native speech-to-speech AI is finally what makes this possible. Fablr remembers what someone shared in an earlier conversation. It asks thoughtful follow-up questions. It returns to details worth exploring and gives the storyteller time to think.
There's nothing to write. There's nothing to install. They simply open Fablr in a browser and start talking. And because nobody's story is told alone, Fablr invites family and friends to share their memories, then weaves those perspectives into the storyteller's narrative.
The conversations become polished, written stories, and ultimately a beautiful, full color, hardcover autobiography. Every conversation is privately archived, and QR codes in the book let family hear the stories in the storyteller's own voice.
If you cover this category, I'd rather show you than pitch you. Email me. We'll set you up with a review account so you can talk with Fablr yourself and see how amazing it is. Thanks.

Fablr asks the follow-up a good interviewer would.
Biographer: I'm curious, what wisdom would you like to pass down to future generations?
Storyteller: When I think of my children, I hope they find joy in the present moment, because tomorrow is not promised, that they love each other the best that they can, and remember how important family is.
Biographer: That's a beautiful sentiment, finding joy in the present. Was there a moment in your life that taught you how precious each day is?
Storyteller: A good friend of mine just had a heart attack, and it was really sobering. Reminded me how precious life is and that we can't take it for granted.

I'm Jim Sink, founder of Fablr, based in Northern California. Before Fablr, I worked at Microsoft on the Xbox and later led Avatar Reality, the company behind the virtual world Blue Mars. I then stepped away from technology to teach, volunteer, and raise a family. I came back to tech because I miss the voices, stories, humor, and points of view of people I have lost.
Fablr is a virtual biographer. It talks with your loved one, asks the follow-up questions a good interviewer would, and turns spoken memories into a hardcover book while preserving the recordings. Fablr can invite family and friends to share their side of the story. It is the difference between giving someone an assignment and hiring them a biographer. My goal is to save a million stories, so families can hear what made their loved ones who they are, in their own voices.

Ask, and we send two 100% off codes: one for you, one to give away. Each is a full comp, the same thing a paying customer gets.
Each code opens a full Fablr account for a year and covers the hardcover book if the family decides to make one, US shipping only. That is the review account the founder video mentions, at full strength: there is no reduced review tier and no watermarked demo. We include the second code because the fastest way to understand what Fablr does is to watch someone else's family use it.
Fablr does not lend out sample books, so there is nothing to ship back.
Purpose
The first code is for editorial evaluation, for you and your publication to assess Fablr. The second is a gift. Give it to whoever you like, including a family member or a reader, with no editorial strings on them either.
Returns
None. Recordings, stories, and any book made with a code belong to the family that made them.
Obligation
None. Taking a code does not commit you to covering Fablr, and nothing here depends on the coverage being positive.
Editorial control
Yours. We do not read, review, or approve coverage before it runs.
Delivery
Codes arrive by email, so we do not need a mailing address. If a book gets made, the shipping address is collected in the order flow. Fablr prints and ships in the United States only, so a code given to a family outside the US covers the year of access but cannot be redeemed for a printed book.
Accurate for Fablr, and yours to adapt to house style.
Complimentary materials
Fablr gave [Publication] two complimentary codes for this review, each covering a year of access and, for recipients in the United States, the hardcover book at no charge if their family chooses to make one. Fablr did not review or approve this coverage before publication.
Affiliate links
This article contains affiliate links. If you buy through one, [Publication] earns a commission. Fablr runs its publisher program on the Awin network at a standard 15% commission.
We stopped there on purpose. If your policy calls for a line about commission not affecting your coverage, write your own: only you can say what is true of your newsroom, and we will not put that claim in your mouth.

After you sign in, Fablr lands you here on your dashboard. Tap Biographer to start your first story. Fablr is ready when you are. Tap Start to begin. Today, I wanted to explore your military career. Tell me about the day you enlisted. You answer however you like. Your words become text as you speak. It was the summer after I graduated. My father drove me to the recruiter's office. What was going through your mind on that drive? When you're done, tap the same button to stop. To find your story, tap Library. Give it a few minutes. When the biographer is done, your story lands right here. Tap any story to read it, share it, or keep adding to it.
A single photograph can hold an entire story. To add one, tap Capture. Take a new photo or choose one you already have. A snapshot, a postcard, an old letter. When it looks right, tap Use Photo. Your biographer looks at what's in the picture and asks you about it. I see an antique pocket watch in a velvet box. Can you tell me about what makes this special to you? You tell the story behind it in your own words. When you're done, tap Stop. Your photo and its story land in your library together.
When you invite someone, a simple link lands on their phone by text or email. They tap it, and there you are, nothing to download, no app to install. Just one tap to begin. No sign up, no password to remember. Your biographer already knows how they fit into your life, so it asks about the moments the two of you shared. You and Margaret opened the hardware store together. What was that first day like? They just talk, the same easy way you do, and before they're done they can leave a question of their own for you to answer next. Their words land right inside your story, in a voice only they could give it.
