A practical guide to remembering, writing, verifying, and preserving a family legacy.
The handbook is the field guide. The Companion is a separately licensed, downloadable AI skill for your compatible assistant—skills-only, with no C.B. Ventures hosted project server. Dad, Your Story Belongs With Us is the journal in print now.
Get the Premium Skill — $49Buy the Dad journalThe Companion helps you stay with the person and the story while keeping the larger project organized behind the scenes. It is designed to reduce clerical friction without turning a meaningful interview into a checklist.
Record or type natural conversations, memories, and follow-up notes.
Turn stories into structured people, places, dates, themes, and life stages.
Keep sources, uncertainty, contradictions, and open questions visible.
Shape source-bounded material into a lasting life story without losing the person's voice.
The Companion is a downloadable, context-aware skill that works inside a compatible AI assistant. It helps that assistant keep the structure of a long-form life-story project using the host's own memory and files—not a Companion cloud server.
Long-form family stories rarely fail because there were not enough questions. They fail because chronology, names, evidence, contradictions, and unfinished threads become hard to manage. The Companion is built around that problem.
Keep relatives, friends, coworkers, nicknames, and relationships connected across the story.
Maintain a working timeline without forcing every memory into perfect order too early.
Track homes, schools, towns, workplaces, trips, and other places that anchor memories.
Keep photographs, records, interviews, documents, and family recollections tied to the claims they support.
Preserve unanswered questions and parked threads so they can be revisited instead of forgotten.
Notice patterns such as work, family, home, responsibility, migration, faith, loss, or reinvention without over-writing the story.
The Life Story Companion is not another chatbot or standalone AI assistant. It is a separately licensed skill designed to run inside a compatible AI assistant and give that assistant a structured way to help with a family-history project.
The conversation remains the source. The skill helps organize, question, compare, and draft from the material you provide rather than inventing a cleaner story than the evidence supports.
It helps your assistant keep the shape of the work. Chronology, source provenance, coverage, contradictions, and unfinished threads can stay in the host's memory or project files so they are less likely to vanish between chats.
It is a $49 one-time downloadable skill file for your own AI assistant—not a separate chatbot and not a C.B. Ventures cloud account. Continuity uses that host’s memory and files. Optional local tools or MCP setups are buyer-side extras; they are not included in the purchase.
Install the Premium Skill package in a compatible AI assistant. You get the skill files by email after checkout—not a Companion-hosted project.
The skill guides interviews, organization, and source-bounded drafting inside the AI you already use. Project continuity depends on that host’s memory and files, not a Companion server.
Any local utilities or MCP experiments you run yourself are optional and buyer-operated. They are not part of the $49 skills-only purchase.
The Companion is designed to help organize evidence without quietly converting guesses into facts or private material into public material.
Remembered experience, family lore, documented evidence, inference, and unresolved claims remain distinguishable instead of being flattened into one false level of certainty.
Recordings, transcripts, photographs, and documents remain distinct from summaries and generated prose so later drafts can be checked against the original material.
The method treats research, publishing, external sharing, and visibility changes as separate actions that require appropriate authorization rather than automatic next steps.
This is the paperback you can buy today: 200 guided questions, room for photos and family facts, and answers that can feed a longer life story. It does not include the Companion skill. The Life Story Handbook is not listed for sale yet.
