What is Zibby?
Zibby is where your family's stories come together. It asks the questions worth answering, everyone answers in their own voice, and it all lands in one private place the whole family can ask, browse, and add to.

Is this social media?
No — and that's the point. There's no feed, no likes, no strangers, no audience. Zibby is just your family, in a circle you choose. Nothing to perform. Nothing to scroll.

Do I have to be a writer?
Nope. Talk the way you always have — Zibby does the rest. Speak it, type it, add the photos. If you can tell a story at a kitchen table, you're qualified.

How does it actually work?

• Zibby asks — real questions, made for your family, not a script mailed to everyone alike.

• You answer your way — voice, text, photos, whenever the mood hits.

• It learns — how each of you tells a story, and what makes you want to.

• Everyone can ask — the whole family can browse, search, and ask Zibby anytime.

Is this AI?
Yes — the friendly kind. For years, AI has been reading everyone's email and writing everyone's homework. We think it's time it did something worth doing: listening to your mother tell the story of how she met your father, and knowing exactly what to ask next. You don't configure anything. It just gets better at your family the longer you use it. It feels a little like magic, because for once, it's magic pointed at the right thing.

Who can see our stories?
Only the people you invite. There are no ads and no strangers — your circle is the whole world of it.

Who owns the stories?
Your family does. Full stop. You can export your stories anytime.

What does it cost?
Right now, nothing. Zibby is free while we work with our earliest families to learn what's truly worth paying for. When that changes, you'll hear it from us plainly — no surprises.

What do I need to use it?
An iPhone — or nothing at all. Zibby is on iOS and the web, so relatives can join from any phone or computer without installing a thing.

Half my family is on Android. Is that a problem?
That's half the reason Zibby exists. Blue bubbles, green bubbles, laptops at the kitchen table — everyone lands in the same place via the web.

We tried one of those question-a-week story kits. How is this different?
So did our families. The kits proved people want this — and then mailed every family the same questions in the same order, forever. Zibby listens. Its questions come from your family's stories and get better as it learns each of you. It's the difference between a form letter and a good conversation.

How do I get my family to actually do it?
You mostly don't have to — Zibby does the asking. And the first answer tends to recruit the second: someone hears Dad's version of the lake story, and suddenly everyone has corrections. Fair warning from our early families: the problem won't be getting started. It'll be stopping.
