Writing without a script
Sometimes you don't want an AI to interview you — you want to write whatever you feel like. Free mode is exactly that: a blank page, no questions, no forced structure.
The problem
Interview mode works great when you don't know where to start. But sometimes you already have a story clear in your head —the trip to Salta in 2014, the last conversation with your grandmother— and the AI's questions feel like a brake. You want to write, not respond.
What Anecdotario does
Free mode is the opposite of interview mode: a blank page, a title, and you writing what you want. No questions, no automatic suggestions while you type, no forced structure.
When you save, Anecdotario does the background work:
- Assigns chapter — suggests which of the twelve chapters it belongs to, based on what you wrote.
- Detects people — if you named your mom or your best friend, they're linked to the graph automatically.
- Suggests dates and places — if you mentioned "the summer of 2014 in Cariló," the app extracts that so the anecdote is anchored in time and space.
But all of that happens after. While you're writing, no one bothers you.
When to use each mode
- Interview mode — when you're just starting, when you don't know what to tell, when you want something to pull at the thread.
- Free mode — when you already have the story inside and you want to pour it onto the page.
You switch between them whenever. A single session can start free, hit a wall, and move to interview to unblock what comes next.
Why it matters
Not everyone writes the same way. Some people need structure, others find it suffocating. Anecdotario doesn't force a single flow — it gives you the mode that works today.
I want to tell my life story but I don't know where to begin — an AI interviews you chapter by chapter and structures your answers.
Your life isn't a flat list of anecdotes — it's twelve chapters. Childhood, adolescence, first love, adult life, losses, kids. You have a map, not a feed.
