Narrative coherence in AI-assisted storytelling means the AI helps connect disparate memories and events into a unified story arc rather than leaving them as isolated anecdotes. This structure makes your life story more meaningful to yourself and more comprehensible to others who hear it.
Narrative coherence refers to the way AI tools help connect disparate memories, events, and experiences into a unified and meaningful personal story rather than a fragmented list of facts. It is a core challenge in memoir writing and life review work because human memory is non-linear and emotionally complex.
