A lot of my elderly and not-so-elderly relatives passed away during the last 4 years. Most of them have been immigrants with very unique and interesting lives.
Since I finished school I have been buried in work and projects, chasing after some ephemeral idea(l) of success.
I feel that I've lost a monumental opportunity to learn from people that I should have been closer to, or at least bond with them.
Memoir originally was the attempt to capture what could have been, but in doing so turned into something like a "fast track to mindfulness". (Direct quote from a user) According to feedback, the process of answering questions is 80% of the value. So you get the most out of it if you answer the 15 questions truthfully and in depth.
TL;DR: The app asks you deep life questions, generates your "life story". Kind of like a mix between a ghostwriter and a talk therapist.
I had the opportunity to try this app, it is amazing, the questions are deep and it really does fast track you to mindfulness. The entire process is cathartic. Try it and share it.
Thanks, it took me 20 minutes to answer 15 questions and the process was smooth.
However, I think this product idea is good, but the final memory is almost a simple gpt restatement of the entire content. For me, there are almost no insights and suggestions. If this is further expanded, it will be more likely to bring aha moment to users.
Would you be willing to run the memoir generation once again? I would love to change something and see if your result improves.
(Background: I switched from gpt-4 to gpt-4o last week and from my tests noticed the following: the resulting memoir got significantly longer (yay!), but the structure turned from a thematic extraction to, as you say, almost a restatement.)
