This Diwali, give them their own story.

On the morning you choose. You can set everything up today or any day before, and Alfaaz holds all contact until that morning, when the first message and voice note arrive. The four months of access start that morning too, so the wait costs you nothing. If you choose a plan instead, it starts today.

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: $66 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 that morning. 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 archive lives on a screen, but Alfaaz also posts real objects: every plan prints one chapter of their story as a scroll and sends it to you each month, and the six-month and yearly plans add a hardcover book of their stories, printed and bound once a year, an audiobook edition of the memoir, and short films cut from their own telling. The yearly plan adds an anniversary gift. If you want something in hand on the day itself, the invitation is what you give; the first printed chapter follows in the post.

Both, and you choose which. A plan is a subscription: it opens with 21 days free, then bills every three, six or twelve months per storyteller, renewing until you cancel. The gift is $51 paid once for four months from the morning you choose, and it never renews. 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.

Setup for Diwali stays open until the end of Sunday 8 November. Set up on Diwali itself, it begins right away. Set it up before 11 pm India time the evening before, and that evening we email you a lifafa card to forward in the morning, and a reminder to send them your own voice note first.

No. It is the same gift at the same price: $51 once for four months from Diwali morning, one storyteller, and it never renews.
