Using Joanna Effectively
Get the most out of your Joanna experience with these helpful tips and best practices.
How Stories Are Captured
Joanna takes a thoughtful, structured approach to preserving memories. Each conversation begins with a meaningful question and continues naturally until Joanna has gathered enough detail to craft a beautiful story—think of each story as a vivid chapter in your loved one's memoir. Once Joanna and your loved one feel they've captured the essence of the memory, Joanna writes, saves, and seamlessly transitions into a new conversation. All you have to do is follow Joanna's lead, and before you know it, you'll have a beautiful, evolving memoir tree to cherish for generations.

I think we have created a beautiful story to add to your memoir. Do you have any final details you would like to add or do you want to talk about something entirely new?
I know you moved from Ohio to Boston. What was that like?
Express Yourself, Your Way
Joanna understands you however you prefer to share—one long voice note or text usually works better than multiple short ones. You can even add photos and videos to enrich your stories and bring memories vividly to life. Joanna patiently waits for you to finish, responding thoughtfully once you're done. So feel free to tap the mic and speak your heart out, or type away if that's your style!
The Magic Words: "Let's Switch!"
With Joanna, memoir writing is as easy as chatting with a dear friend. Done talking about a memory? Just say the magic words, "Let's switch!" and Joanna will gracefully pivot to a fresh topic. She never runs out of engaging things to discuss and is always open to your suggestions—just ask!
Switching Topics
Try saying:
"I'd like to talk about something new"
Or be specific:
"I think I'd rather talk about one of my first pets, Matilda"
