Capture
Record a conversation with consent, identify speakers, and attach photos, names, places, or records later.
Archive mode
A family history that can still ask questions.
Interview the people who remember. Connect recordings, photos, documents, dates, places, and relationships. Turn them into a vivid, searchable history without making anything up.
The missing layer between genealogy and memory
A family tree tells you who. Records can tell you when and where. They rarely tell you what the kitchen smelled like, why someone left, which neighbor changed a life, what the family laughed about, or how one decision shaped the next generation.
Those details live in people, scattered recordings, annotations, letters, albums, and half-remembered stories. MyLore's archive mode is meant to gather them across many conversations and connect them without flattening uncertainty.
No inventing. A polished sentence is never permission to fabricate a fact. Every claim should remain traceable to a person, source, inference, or research record.
Across multiple sessions
The archive should get better at asking.
A good interviewer listens for the missing connective tissue instead of marching through a generic questionnaire.
Connect
Map people, events, dates, places, sources, and uncertainties across prior sessions.
Clarify
Return with focused questions: Who else was there? Was this before the move? What makes that date uncertain?

Ask better questions
Start with scenes, choices, relationships, and senses—not a list of birth dates.
