Fireside presents Liv, a storytelling companion for storytellers of any age — people telling their stories as they live them, across a lifetime. An elder looking back is one powerful example, not the market.

The loop is one thing: talk → chapter → keepsake. Liv listens first. She does not walk a storyteller through steps or question lists; her follow-ups grow only from what the storyteller just offered, at their pace, and any topic can be closed with a word and is never returned to. When the storyteller is ready, the conversation is arranged under headings into a chapter — nothing added, nothing put in their mouth. They review it. They approve it. Only then does it become a keepsake with a shareable link — and at review they name who the chapter is for, and that dedication rides on the keepsake.

Three things make Liv different, and all three are demonstrated in the demo video:

1. Photo-prompted reminiscence. A storyteller shares a family photo; Liv looks at it and follows it. She never guesses who anyone in a photo is — the storyteller names people, and Liv holds the names she is given.

2. Demonstrated patience. Liv waits, listens, and adopts a correction the moment it is given; a corrected detail replaces the old one and never comes back.

3. Visible verification. Every chapter draft is checked before review by a deterministic source-check: names, dates, and places in the draft are compared against the storyteller's own words from that same session, and anything not found there is flagged for them — "not in your words — please check."

Liv is built for the people software serves least: accessibility-first (WCAG 2.2 AA), large calm controls, voice-first, no account, nothing to learn. This demo build is adults-only (18+), enforced by the server at consent, not just stated on the screen. A session lives in memory only; ending it wipes it. And nothing is shareable before the storyteller approves it — not a moment before.
