Legacy letters
Legacy letter generator — write yours in 30 minutes
AI prompts you through the questions that pull out specific stories. You edit. Output reads like you, not a Hallmark card. Print as PDF or DOCX.
A legacy letter is the letter you wish your parents had written you — specific, story-driven, in their actual voice. Most people sit down to write one and stall. Mylo's generator prompts you through the questions that work: who you're writing to, what specific moment you want to revisit, what lesson it taught you. The AI drafts; you rewrite anything that doesn't sound like you; output as PDF or DOCX ready to read at a wedding, seal in an envelope, or share now.

How it works
1. Tell us who it's for
The recipient shapes voice. A letter to a 7-year-old grandchild reads differently from one to an estranged adult son.
2. Pick the letter type
8 types covered — Mylo asks the prompts that work for each (a wedding letter is structurally different from a forgiveness letter).
3. Answer the AI's questions
Specific scenes, not abstractions. "Tell me about the first time you saw your grandchild" rather than "what do you love about your grandchild".
4. Edit and download
AI drafts; you rewrite. Output as PDF or DOCX. Share now, hand at a milestone, or seal in your estate file.
Features
Story-extracting prompts
AI asks for specific moments, not generic feelings. The output is concrete and survives re-reading.
Voice control
Warm-grandparent, formal, plainspoken, gently humorous. Same content, different feel.
Length presets
One-page note or full multi-page letter. Mylo handles the structural rewrite when you change length.
Share now or seal for later
Many people share excerpts at milestones (weddings, graduations) and seal a longer version in their estate file.

Where common alternatives fall short.
A blank Word doc
The problem: Most people start, write three paragraphs, stall, never finish.
With Mylo: Mylo gets you to first draft in one sitting; you edit at your pace.
Greeting card
The problem: Generic. Family reads it once and forgets.
With Mylo: Story-specific. Re-read for years.
Recording a video
The problem: Beautiful but families often watch once and shelve it. Text gets re-read.
With Mylo: Do both. Mylo for text, your phone for video. They complement.
Frequently asked
When should I write a legacy letter?
Whenever you're ready. The worst time is when you're sick or in crisis — the prompts work best when you have headspace. Most people write a first version in midlife and edit across years.
Can I write one for someone living?
Yes. Many users write letters they intend to share at milestones — a daughter's wedding, a son's 30th birthday, the day a grandchild starts school. Mylo handles "share now" and "seal for later" equally.
Is the AI generating the letter for me?
It drafts based on your specific answers. You always have the final word — every line is editable. Many users use the AI draft as a "first pass" and rewrite ~50% in their own voice.
What if I want to write to someone I'm estranged from?
Mylo has a specific letter type for this — the prompts cover acknowledgement, accountability, what you wish you'd done differently, and what you hope for. You decide whether to send it or seal it.
How long does a typical letter take?
First draft: 30-45 minutes. Most people refine across 2-3 sittings over a week or two.
