This birthday, give them their own story.

On the morning you choose, or on the night of Diwali. You can set everything up today or any day before, and Alfaaz holds all contact until then, when the first message and voice note arrive. The four months of access start then too, so the wait costs you nothing. To begin today instead, choose a plan on the pricing page.

Their birthday, their anniversary or Diwali. You choose the day when you buy, and you confirm the date when you set it up.

An anniversary gift can: $91 once for both parents, and both begin the same morning, each in their own language. A birthday gift covers one storyteller, so for two birthdays, give twice.

No. Nothing reaches them until the moment it begins. You add them, choose their language, and confirm the date, and then it stays quiet until the day. The surprise is the whole point.

No. Your parent does not need to create an account or install an app. You set up the family account, add their WhatsApp number, send them a heads-up if you want, and choose the first topic. They simply receive a WhatsApp voice note and reply when they feel like it.

Yes. During onboarding you set one primary language for the elder. Live choices are Hindi, Indian English, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, Tamil, Gujarati, and Punjabi. Hindi/Hinglish code-mixing and family terms are expected.

Yes. Alfaaz works for any elder in your family. Parents, grandparents, great-aunts and uncles, any elder whose stories matter to you. One family account can hold more than one elder, each with their own language and conversation thread.

They can stop at any time. Replying STOP to any message stops all messages at once, and simply not replying is always okay: Alfaaz never pressures an elder. Families can also pause future prompts, and already recorded conversations remain in the family archive unless the family asks us to delete them.

Both. The gift is First Chapters: their stories become a digital book, in their own words, with their voice kept beside each one, for the whole family to read and hear. Along the way, two printed letters of their story are posted to their door, and nothing ships to you. A hardcover when the book is done comes with The Whole Story. On the day itself, what you give is the invitation.

A one-time purchase. Both plans are paid once: First Chapters, $61 for four months, or The Whole Story, $171 until the book is done, and the first stories are free. The gift is $51 paid once for four months from the morning you choose. Nothing renews, and every term is shown before payment.

Nothing automatic. Four full months of Alfaaz for $51, paid once, and then it stops. No auto-renew and no surprise charge. Near the end we will email you a choice: move onto a subscription, gift again, or stop and keep everything already gathered.

Yes. If you change your mind within 9 days of the morning it begins, we refund the full price. The clock starts on the morning the gift begins, not on the day you pay, so setting up early never shortens it.

No. Alfaaz does not use your family's voice notes, transcripts, or stories to train AI models, and we do not sell stories for advertising.

This special price is for an elder whose birthday is in the next 4 weeks. We will not ask for proof. Trust goes both ways: we take your word that it is coming up, and the price is our gift because it is their birthday.

That is perfectly fine. As long as you finish onboarding before the birthday morning, the reveal lands on the day. If you set it up on the birthday itself, it goes out right away.
