How your twin is built

You've probably posted something before and never found out what happened to it after: where it went, who saw it. Your twin isn't like that. Nothing about it is scraped from elsewhere, and nothing is guessed. It's built only from what you write.

You write

You describe something you lived, in your own words. Nothing gets smoothed out or rewritten into something else. Three sentences or thirty, whatever the memory needs. There's no form to fill in. What makes a memory worth writing lives on creating your twin.

Memory becomes a story

Write a few memories from the same stretch of your life: the pitch that got laughed out of the room, the year with no salary, the phone call where it finally sold. They group into one story: a title, a short summary, a period.

A story is the unit your twin actually works with. One memory rarely carries enough on its own. A few from the same experience turn it into something your twin can speak to.

On the same shelf

The story sits in a category, Work → Venture → Startup for instance, one of nine top-level categories. That puts you on the same shelf as people who lived it too. It's how someone reaches you on Discover, with no feed deciding for them. More on how people find you.

Your twin answers from it

Once there's enough to work with, your twin can take questions about that story. It doesn't play back something pre-written. It blends your memory (what you actually wrote) with a persona built from that memory: how you tend to talk, what you tend to care about. Then it composes a fresh answer, for whoever's asking.

Ask "what was the hardest part," then "would you do it again," about the same story. You'll get two different answers. Same source, two different angles: not two copies of one canned line.

What that answer can and can't know is covered on what your twin knows.

You can change it

Edit or delete the source at any time, right where you wrote it. A correction, a detail you'd rather leave out, a whole memory you no longer want told: it's yours to change.

Later answers follow the change. A conversation someone already had doesn't rewrite itself. It stays exactly as it was. Only what your twin says next reflects the edit.

Frequently asked

How many memories does it take?

A handful of memories about the same experience is usually enough for a story to take shape. Your twin keeps deepening every time you add more.

Is what I wrote shown word for word?

No. What people see is your twin's answer, composed from what you wrote, never the memory text itself.

Can I add more later?

Yes, whenever you want. A new memory can extend an existing story or start one of its own.
