Clear answers, without getting ahead of the product.

Backstory is a local-first personal context compiler. It is designed to turn selected digital history into portable, source-cited context that you can review and give to an AI.

No. Backstory is not primarily a chatbot, a general AI assistant, or a proprietary memory service. It prepares context for the AI and prompt you choose.

It is designed not to modify or delete original source material. Corrections, labels, exclusions, and compiled outputs remain separate from the evidence they refer to.

No. Local capture does not authorize external sharing. A handoff should be explicit: you review the context, choose what to export, and decide where it goes.

The product direction includes personal material such as messages, notes, mail, and documents. Specific support and limitations will be published only when the corresponding workflows are verified.

This public site does not currently make an availability promise. Release details will be published after the required product, privacy, signing, and external-readiness checks are complete.

The Backstory site does not include application analytics, tracking pixels, accounts, or data-collection forms. The hosting and security edge may apply short-lived protections against automated abuse.
