Idea still being shaped

Bespoke Stories: From Memory to Story

How might a remembered moment become a story without giving AI authority over the memory?

A prepared, permission-cleared packet can become the starting point for a short reviewed story. The people connected to a memory keep authority over what is true, private, meaningful, and shareable.

Why this idea may matter

Why this might be worth exploring
