This is Maddie. She helps people keep their life story just by talking — no typing, no forms, nothing to learn. Say something and she answers out loud, and she remembers you next time.
People carry whole worlds around with them and almost none of it gets written down. Not because nobody cares — because sitting down to write a memoir is a mountain, and nobody climbs it. But talking is easy. Everyone can talk.
So Maddie asks, and listens, and remembers. Talk to her for an hour or a thousand hours; either way what you said becomes a book you can hold. She was built for people in their eighties and nineties, which means she has to be patient, and kind, and she can never make anyone feel stupid.
She is yours to use. That is the gift — no charge, no trial, nothing to cancel.
Talk to Maddie
Maddie keeps each person’s stories separate and private, so she needs to know who you are. We’ll email you a link — no password.
Maddie is a computer program, not a person. She is here to listen, and she will ask you things as you go.
What you say is recorded and kept for you, so it can become the written story of your life. You can ask her to send you everything she has, any time. What is kept, and how to get it back or delete it.
She cannot get help. Maddie is not a medical, crisis or monitoring service and nobody is alerted by anything you say to her. In an emergency call 911; in a crisis call or text 988. Please read this before you start.
Not sure what to say? Just talk — or say “help”, or “ask me a question”. If something bothers you, say “feedback” and it comes straight to me.
About me
Keeping this free
Maddie above costs real money to run every time someone talks to her, and it is free because I would rather it were. I have built this mostly alone and mostly unpaid, and it has got further than I expected.
If you would like to help keep it free — and keep me going while I build the rest — you can. No tiers, no perks, no thank-you gift.
Obsidian Delta has donated the base version of Maddie for this demonstration. Money sent here supports me personally — not the Foundation and not the company.
