Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI speech generator work?
Our AI uses the personal details and stories you provide to craft a unique, personalized speech. Simply answer a few questions about your relationship, share meaningful memories, and choose your preferred tone and length. The AI then generates 3 different draft variations for you to choose from and customize.
Can I edit the generated speech?
Absolutely! The generated drafts are starting points. You can edit every word, add your own touches, and refine until it sounds exactly like you. We recommend using the AI as a foundation and then personalizing it with specific details only you would know.
How long should my speech be?
Most speeches work best at 3-5 minutes (around 400-600 words). This gives you enough time to share meaningful content without losing your audience's attention. Our generator lets you choose between short (2-3 min), medium (4-5 min), and long (6-7 min) options.
