Jane Doe
Product designer, between roles
The one who asks
A reference you'll keep forever
Good word travels.
By My Word turns a three-minute spoken favour into a verified reference letter - from their lips to your ledger. You never make the awkward ask. They approve every word before anything exists.
Sam speaks - freely
Jane keeps it - forever

The awkward ask, removed
Two people, one quiet thread.
Jane never has to email Sam, chase him, or write words in his mouth. By My Word carries the request - and Sam approves every word before anything is sent.
Sam Whitmore
Jane's former manager
The one who vouches
How a good word travels
Five small moments, one letter worth keeping.
No forms to fill in. No favours left hanging. Just a short conversation that becomes something Jane can hold onto.
Ask without the awkward ask
Jane requests a reference in the app and picks who she'd love to hear from. She never has to contact Sam herself - we reach out warmly, on her behalf.
Jane stays out of it entirelyThey just talk
Sam speaks for about three minutes, in his own words. A few gentle prompts to riff on, no essay to write, no blank page to stare at.
~3 minutes, his own voiceDrafted from only what they said
We turn Sam's words into a formal letter and invent nothing. Every line traces back to something he actually said - the transcript sits right beside the draft.
Nothing invented - only his wordsThey approve and sign
Sam can change any word, soften the tone, or start over. Then he signs with his name. Nothing reaches Jane until he does - that's the whole promise.
Signed, never sent earlyYours forever
The signed, verified letter lands in Jane's ledger - hers to keep, reuse, and share for every role that comes next. A good word, saved for good.
Kept in Jane's ledger for life
The moment it becomes real
From their lips to your ledger.
A signature, in their own hand. A seal, pressed once. When Sam signs, a spoken kindness becomes a document Jane can stand behind - and it's hers to keep.
"You've given your word."To whom it may concern,
I managed Jane for three years and would recommend her without hesitation. She led our redesign under a punishing deadline, stayed calm when it counted, and brought the whole team with her. I'd hire her again tomorrow.

Every good word, in one place.

The letter. A real signed document, sealed and verified.
For the person doing the favour
They just talk. We do the rest.
No account to make, no essay to write. Sam opens a link, speaks for three minutes, and approves every word before it's sent. The kindest reference is the one that's easy to give.
You approve every word before anything is sent
We never share your details with anyone
