👋 Howdy Product Hunt! Charlie here, co-founder and CEO of Remento. Huge thanks to @mat_sherman for hunting us. It's a dream come true to be launching on Product Hunt. I'm thrilled to share a bit about our origin story and the magic behind Remento. The problem When my mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, I knew I wanted to bottle up some of her best stories for my future kids...just in case. I bought her a "write-your-own-memoir" product, but she never used it. "Writing feels like homework," she told me. So I sat down and interviewed her, and turned what I learned into a scrapbook. It was incredible. And, it was massively time-consuming (e.g., picking questions, interviewing, transcribing, editing etc.). I thought to myself, there must be a better way… Our solution Remento turns a loved one's memories and stories into a keepsake book. Rather than spend endless hours writing, Remento interviews them weekly about moments and memories from their past. Then, our Speech-to-Story technology transforms their recorded interviews into a beautiful hardcover book full of polished written stories, featuring QR codes that link to the recordings used to write each chapter. How does Remento work? 🔎 Pick what you want to learn When you gift Remento, you can collaborate with friends and family to select meaningful prompts, add questions, and upload photos to spark your storyteller's memories. Our library contains hundreds of expert-crafted prompts designed by psychologists to inspire incredible stories. 📲 They record each week Each week, Remento invites your storyteller via email and SMS to record a response to a new prompt. They can record from any device without any downloads, logins, or passwords required. 🪄 We turn recordings into polished stories Remento automatically turns transcripts of their recordings into beautifully written stories. Adjust the writing style or the text directly as much (or as little) as you want. 📔🤳 Print their book (featuring their voice) Each hardcover book features photographs, written stories, and QR codes that link to the original recordings - combining the permanence of print with the intimacy of their spoken words. Who is Remento for? Many of our customers purchase Remento as a gift for their parents. They want to be sure they'll always have their parent's stories (and voice) at their fingertips. Others buy Remento for themselves as a way to document their legacy for future generations. What's included in my purchase? For $99, you get: 👉 One year of unlimited prompts and stories 👉 One premium hardcover, color-printed book with a customizable cover 👉 Digital delivery (buy now, schedule anytime) 👉 30-day money-back guarantee Is there a deal? Glad you asked 😉. To celebrate our launch, take $20 off through Dec 17 using code PRODUCTHUNT20 at checkout. Remento is more than a product—it's a way to bring families closer and preserve stories for generations to come. Thank you for checking us out—I can't wait to hear your thoughts! Charlie --- P.S. Here are a few answers to our most commonly asked questions below: 1. No, this isn't a forever subscription. Renew only if your storyteller wants to keep telling stories. You can still scan your QR codes and play recordings without an active subscription. 2. No, we don't hold your data hostage. You can download anything and everything at any time. 3. No, we don't use your private data to train our models. Everything is anonymized before it touches our AI engines. 4. Yes, your older parent can use Remento. If they can send a text message and carry on a conversation, they're good to go.

@mat_sherman @charlie_g1 Beautiful idea, Charlie! Remento’s way of preserving memories and combining audio with written stories is truly special. Adding more customization for the storytelling style could make it even more personal.

@tonyabracadabra I really appreciate you saying that! And I think you're spot on - customizing the storytelling experience could go a long way towards making the entire experience feel more unique to the storyteller and their family. It's the exact reason why we let families get involved in picking questions, uploading photos, voting on prompts, and then reacting to new stories when they're recorded. Curious if anything came to mind specifically?

@mat_sherman @charlie_g1 Love how Remento stands out in the AI space by focusing on what matters most - our relationships with family, especially parents. While most AI tools target productivity, Remento touches something deeper - our emotional connections. The journey from children uploading photos, parents adding memories, to AI crafting narratives is beautifully designed. And that final touch - a printed memoir with QR-linked recordings - is absolutely brilliant! Congratulations on creating something truly meaningful! ❤️

This is a very timely product for me personally w a few aging family members. Question: Can other family members intersplice their stories and perspectives on a particular person's timetable?

@terrence_kelleman - Great question! Currently it's only a single storyteller per book, but other family members can all collaborate on the questions that you ask that storyteller. Multiple storytellers per book is something we're exploring on our product roadmap for next year!

I am betting my bottom dollar that Remento is going to be the Product of the Month. So evocative and cherish-worthy a product that it will be loved by all and sundry. The dynamism that the product offers through the QR code scan to open up audio visuals is its USP.
