DearMira

Every life is a documentary waiting to be made.

DearMira turns a single conversation with someone you love into a cinematic, narrated biography — in their own voice, mapped across every place they lived, and explorable by your whole family. Built with Mira, in days, not years.

We left Hamburg in the spring of 1923, my mother’s hand in mine…
Nine days of grey water — and a child born before we sighted land.
They wrote our name down wrong, and it was ours for good.

…and the city was louder than anything I’d known.
We had a room above the bakery, and the whole street smelled of bread.
By that first winter, I was already dreaming in a new language.

Why it matters

40 million Americans are over 75 — and 10,000 turn 65 every day.

The people who remember the 20th century firsthand are leaving us. The technology to save what they carry — their voice, their faces, their stories — finally exists.

Pricing

Simple, and honest.

Questions

The things people ask first.

You do. Everything you upload and create is yours — we never sell your data or train public models on your family’s stories. Export the full documentary and a book-quality PDF whenever you like.

DearMira is built for this. Bring whatever exists — photographs, letters, voicemails, the memories of people who knew them — and Mira weaves them into a biography. Where a recording of their voice survives, they can narrate their own story.

A single conversation is enough to begin — fifteen minutes is plenty. The film assembles in days, not years, and you can keep adding to it for as long as you like.

No. If you can hold a phone and have a conversation, you can make a biography. Mira asks the questions; DearMira handles the editing, narration, and assembly.

A cinematic documentary you can watch and share, an interactive ancestry map, a 2–3 minute highlight reel, and a book-quality PDF you can print, gift, or place on a shelf.
