StoryNest is a mobile-first web application designed to help people preserve their life stories — especially those of older generations — through guided interviews in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese). Users answer meaningful questions, and our AI (powered by AIMLAPI) transforms their responses into compelling biographies. The app supports voice input (in progress), allows editing answers, and generates a magazine-style summary and a downloadable PDF biography. Designed for accessibility and simplicity, StoryNest requires no installation and runs on any device. It’s an intuitive, emotionally impactful tool for families, caregivers, and cultural organizations seeking to preserve personal histories.

Category tags:

"Meaningful project with a valid and emotionally important use case. However, the AI integration is quite basic and originality is moderate. Future improvements like adaptive questions, voice input, and more dynamic narrative generation would significantly strengthen the technical and user impact."
