02 · Process
01
Your child handwrites a letter to their chosen historical figure — asking questions, sharing stories, or telling them about their day.
02
Snap a photo of the letter and upload it through your Quill Pals account. We take it from there.
03
Our AI reads the letter and crafts a thoughtful, age-appropriate reply — written as that person would have written it, grounded in history.
04
The reply is rendered by a pen plotter on archival paper, sealed with wax, and mailed directly to your home.
