StorySage: Conversational Autobiography Writing Powered by a Multi-Agent Framework
Every individual carries a unique and personal life story shaped by their memories and experiences. However, these memories are often scattered and difficult to organize into a coherent narrative, a challenge that defines the task of autobiography writing.

We introduce Story…
