FAQ
Straight answers before you begin.
What is a Ripple?
A Ripple is a private interactive keepsake made from specific stories about how one person affected the people around them. It combines a visual impact map, recurring themes, and the original contributions.
Do contributors need an account?
No. They open the private invitation link, add their story, and submit it from any modern phone or computer.
Does AI write the contributions?
No. Contributors write their own memories and impact statements. AI only organizes approved stories into themes and short grounded summaries.
When do I pay?
You can create the draft and see a fictional preview for free. A one-time payment activates the real invitation link. The price is shown before checkout.
Can the recipient see contributions early?
Not through the recipient link. Before the reveal date, that link shows only a countdown. The organizer can privately preview the experience while signed in.
Is it public?
No. Ripple pages are unlisted and excluded from search engines. Access is provided through private invitation and reveal links.
Can I remove a contribution?
Yes. The organizer reviews every submission and chooses which stories appear in the final experience.
What happens if I edit an approved contribution after generation?
The generated themes are marked out of date. Regenerate the Ripple so the final experience reflects the approved source stories.
Can I download it?
Full Ripple and Team & Retirement packages include a downloadable PDF keepsake. The interactive version remains available through the private link while the project is active.
Is this a subscription?
No. Each Ripple is a one-time purchase.
