About
We are two things: a method and a promise.
The method comes from forty years of communications and speechwriting. The promise is simpler: Youlogy is designed not to add anything about them that you did not share.
Why this exists
Nobody prepares you to write a eulogy, and when the time comes, you are grieving, exhausted and struggling to find the right words.
You do not need to be a better writer. You need a structure and the right questions.
So we built the conversation. Youlogy asks. You answer. The questions bring out the memories and stories that matter. We shape them into a eulogy that sounds like you.
The method
Four rules behind every draft.
Rule 1. One person, not a category.
A eulogy should sound like the person it is about, and no one else.
Rule 3. Say the difficult thing once.
Name it plainly, then let it go. That honesty earns the warmth that comes after.
Rule 2. Specifics carry the weight.
One thing they actually said is worth more than a paragraph about what they were like. The questions help you find those moments.
Rule 4. Written to be spoken.
Short sentences, natural pauses and a length that fits the time you have. It is a speech, not an essay.

The promise
Built from what you share.
Youlogy is designed not to add facts, memories or stories you did not share.
You have the last word.
You decide what belongs in the final eulogy. On Remembrance and Legacy, you can ask for changes.
Your voice stays yours.
The structure comes from us. The memories, language and judgment stay with you.

On the part everyone asks about
Yes, there is a language model involved, and no, we do not lead with that. It is the least interesting thing about Youlogy.
What matters is the questions you are asked and the rule Youlogy follows: not to add anything you did not provide.
We have written that out in full on the ethics page, including the parts that are uncomfortable for us.
