## What is Backwhen?

Backwhen is a living documentary of your people, told in the voices living it. Discover sides of each other you've never seen.

The same moment lives differently in every voice. The trip you remember as exhausted patience, your partner remembers as the week you all finally relaxed. Your kid remembers one sandcastle. That gap - how each person is living through what's actually happening - is the documentary.

Backwhen turns short, recurring voice check-ins with the small group at the center of your life - your partner, your kids, your parents, your closest crew - into an evolving documentary you're making together. An AI Producer guides each conversation with the warmth and curiosity of a great interviewer, following the energy in the room.

CAST YOUR STORY
Add the people whose story is also yours. You're the Director - you choose who's in the cast and how the project unfolds.

CHECK IN ON YOUR RHYTHM
Weekly, every other week, or monthly. Short, voice-first sessions that fit into the day you already have.

YOUR PRODUCER, NOT A QUESTIONNAIRE
A conversational guide trained on the craft of great interviewers - curious, unpretentious, following what's actually happening in your life rather than running a script. Choose how it shows up:
- Autopilot: your Producer hosts. Sit back and answer.
- Copilot: you lead the conversation; your Producer suggests the next question.
- Flow: open and unstructured. Just talk, and the Producer follows wherever it goes.

WATCH THE STORY EMERGE
Every check-in deepens a living Personal Portrait of each person across the dimensions that make them who they are - Roots, Dreams, Play, Craft, People, Places, Trials, and Beliefs.

BIG MOMENTS, LITTLE WORLDS
Backwhen turns big moments into little worlds - short cinematic clips that stage your Cast's voices together on your timeline. Watch them full screen, share the ones you love, and watch your collection grow with your story.

REVISIT ANY SCENE
Search across every interview to find what your daughter told her grandmother last spring, or the perspective your partner brought to a moment you remember completely differently. Highlights surface what's emerging.

WORKS WITH YOUR AI TOOLS
With Backwhen's data connectors, your story flows into the AI tools you already use - Claude, ChatGPT, and more - for trip planning, gift ideas, family rituals, or anything else your context shapes.

A QUIET PLACE, NOT A PUBLIC FEED
Backwhen is built for tight-knit groups, not for clout or engagement. Your interviews stay yours - private and securely stored. You choose who's cast, what's captured, and where your story flows.

PLANS
- Rhythm: Capture and curate your group's shared story.
- Studio: One platform, every group's story. Run multiple projects, direct your Producer's voice and focus, watch a group narrative graph emerge with milestones, and remix media across your work.

We're living stories. Let's tell them together.
