You have more stories than you think. Iloomi helps you find them. Iloomi is your collaborative biographer — an AI that listens, asks the right questions, and helps you tell the story of your life through conversation. Not a blank page. Not a questionnaire. A real conversation that draws out memories you didn't know you still carried. Pick a memory. A road trip with your dad. Your daughter's first steps. A random Tuesday that changed everything. Iloomi asks a question, you start talking, and something remarkable happens — details surface that you haven't thought about in decades. The sound of the screen door. The song on the radio. The way the light hit the water. Then Iloomi turns that conversation into a beautifully written story, told in your voice. Want a different tone? More humor? More detail? One tap — because your stories are living documents, not frozen ones. YOUR MEMORY NOW HAS A MEMORY Here's what makes Iloomi unlike anything else: it remembers everything you share — across every story. That road trip you told at twenty connects to the career decision you made at forty. A name mentioned in one story surfaces in another. The more you share, the richer every new conversation becomes, because Iloomi brings the full context of your life into each one. This isn't a feature. It's what makes Iloomi a collaborator that actually knows your life. HOW IT WORKS Tell a story. Start with any memory — a photo on your phone, a milestone, something your mom said last Sunday. Iloomi asks warm, probing questions and lets you do the talking. Read your narrative. Iloomi generates a first-person story that captures your voice, your details, your emotions. Refine it, regenerate it, make it yours. Listen to it. Choose from multiple narrator voices and hear your story read back to you. It's more powerful than you'd expect. Keep going. Every story you tell strengthens the living memory layer. Over time, Iloomi weaves the threads of your life into something richer than any single story could be. WHAT YOU CAN DO Have guided conversational interviews that surface forgotten details and emotions • Generate beautifully written narratives in your own voice • Upload photos and use them as story triggers — unlock the memory behind the image • Listen to your stories with AI-powered audio narration • Invite family and friends to contribute their perspectives to shared stories • Revisit and regenerate any story with a different tone, detail level, or perspective • Build a living, interconnected narrative that grows with every story you tell WHO ILOOMI IS FOR Anyone with stories to tell. You don't need to be a writer. You don't need to have "interesting" stories (you do — everyone does). You just need to start a conversation. People find Iloomi at life's inflection points — a wedding, a new baby, an old photo that surfaces during a move, a parent whose memory is fading, a Thanksgiving story that deserves more than a hangover. But you don't need a big moment. A quiet Sunday afternoon is a story worth telling too. BUILT ON A PERSONAL MISSION Iloomi was created by Troy Busot, founder of Athlinks (the world's largest endurance sports results platform). Years of interviewing athletes on the Athlinks Podcast revealed the power of guided conversation to unlock stories. When a family member began losing memories to dementia, the urgency became personal. Iloomi was born to ensure that no story disappears before it's told. Your stories deserve more than a memory.

- Arbento is story intelligence for writers. It reads your manuscript, learns your characters, and thinks with you about structure scene by scene. - The AI that knows your whole story Most writing tools see one sentence at a time. Arbento sees the whole manuscript. Every scene you write, every character you introduce, every rule you establish Arbento reads and remembers it. When something contradicts, it says so. When a scene is missing its structural purpose, it tells you specifically what to fix. - Beat analysis Tag any scene to a story framework: Save the Cat, Three-Act Structure, or Hero's Journey. Arbento evaluates whether the scene delivers what that beat requires: a score, what's working, what to fix, and a rewrite tip drawn from your actual prose. Not generic advice. Analysis of your specific scene. - Codex AI intelligence Build your story's Codex: characters, places, world rules. Arbento reads it before every analysis. It catches continuity errors (wrong eye colour, destroyed objects reappearing), flags unregistered characters as they appear in your prose, notices when a character's behaviour contradicts their arc, and surfaces forgotten threads you haven't returned to. - Editorial feedback A developmental editor's read of your prose. What's landing, what one thing would improve it, specific language corrections, and what this scene sets up for what follows. Honest, specific, based on your writing not a generic critique. - Story health A full structural read of your entire manuscript. Missing beats, pacing observations, your strongest scene, and the single highest-priority thing to fix next. Developmental editing at a fraction of the cost. - Writing signals Readability score, sentence rhythm, tone fingerprint, overused words, echo detection. Every scene, always. - For iPhone, iPad and Mac Write on iPhone on the train. Continue on Mac at your desk. Everything syncs fast, reliable, and available offline. Arbento is for writers who want to understand their story better, not writers who want AI to write it for them. Free to try. Pro subscription unlocks AI analysis. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
