A Diwali gift for parents in India

This Diwali, start keeping their legacy.

Maya asks your parents gentle questions on WhatsApp, in their language. They answer however suits them: a voice note, a photo, a video or a few typed words. Their life story, their rituals, their family's history, kept in one place.

આ દિવાળી, એમની વાતો — એમના જ અવાજમાં.

इस दिवाली, उनकी कहानियाँ — उनकी अपनी आवाज़ में।

Why start their legacy this Diwali

Diwali is when the old stories come out.

The rituals, the recipes, the names of the people who taught them. Every Diwali brings them back for a few days. Let this be the year you start keeping them, along with everything else they've lived: where the family came from, what they learned, and what they want passed on.

How the Diwali gift works

Three steps, from wherever you live

  1. Gift it from anywhere.

    Add their name and WhatsApp number, pick a plan, and write a note in your own words. You'll get Maya's WhatsApp link to send them whenever you're ready.

  2. Maya replies on WhatsApp.

    Once they message her, she introduces herself as an AI biographer and asks their permission before keeping anything.

  3. They share it their way.

    Voice notes, photos, videos or text, in their own language. You and the family members you choose can see it all, and read every story in English.

Diwali gift FAQ

Before you decide.

Do my parents need to download an app?

No. It all happens on WhatsApp. If they can answer a WhatsApp message, they can do this.

My parents aren't tech-savvy. Will it work for them?

Yes. Maya asks one gentle question at a time, and a quick voice note or a photo from the sofa is enough. There's nothing to learn and no calls to schedule, even though they're about half a day ahead of you.

What can they share?

Anything that holds a memory: voice notes, photos, videos or typed messages, in whatever language feels easiest. Maya keeps it all together in a private family timeline.

Who can see the stories?

You, your parents, and the family members you choose to add. Voice notes stay in their own voice, and every story can be read in English.

Is it private?

Yes. Maya asks permission before keeping any stories. Maya only starts keeping their stories after they say yes. Your family's stories are never sold, never shared beyond the people you choose, and always yours to export.

Can I gift it to both parents?

Yes. Add a second person at checkout. Each gets their own collection, at twice the price. Both plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and A Year of Stories never renews.
