Oral Heritage Index

heirloomz/inktree-social-tools

A streamable HTTP endpoint that gives you cited answers about preserving family stories and oral histories. Built by InkTree, it connects to their Oral Heritage Index knowledge base to answer questions about recording techniques, interview best practices, archival methods, and storytelling approaches. You'd reach for this when building apps or workflows around family history documentation, memoir writing tools, or genealogy services where you need authoritative guidance on capturing personal narratives. The responses come with citations, so you're not just getting generic advice but referenced material from their curated index. Useful if you're working on anything in the legacy preservation or personal history space and want subject matter expertise baked into your agent.
