👋 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.
Helen Xiong
@mat_sherman @charlie_g1 Congrats on the launch, Charles! Thank you for sharing the story behind Remento – it's truly inspiring and special. Love it!
Charles Greene
@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?
Raju Singh
@mat_sherman @charlie_g1 Hey folks, nice soothing ideas with so much happening around us in AI. I would certainly give this a try. Congrats!
Charles Greene
@imraju - Thank you, so glad you think it's a good use of AI!
Terrence Kelleman
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?
Charles Greene
@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!
Terrence Kelleman
@charlie_g1 oh I see that now very cool - I missed the PH discount, anyway to extend that into the 18th?
Charles Greene
@terrence_kelleman For you, yes! Just shoot us a note at support@remento.co and we'll get a code created for you.
Charles Greene
@terrence_kelleman Unfortunately our Producr Hunt discount was for launch day only. But you can save $15 off through Dec 25 with the code listed on our site!

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. Congrats on the successful launch @charlie_g1 @alex_massonneau_r @rachelaubrey @william_gadsby_peet @marinella_ceo @riks_galit @douglas_viehbeck @victor_wolmeister
Charles Greene
@varun_bhagath - Product of the Month would be an absolute dream come true, so thank you for manifesting that for us! Really glad to hear the product resonates with you, thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I look forward to following your launch of Glibzter.
David Ramos
Just wanted to add, the onboarding for this product is wonderful. I purchased it for my grandma for Christmas, and added my wife and mom as collaborators so that any of us could help her if she had questions along the way. Both of them have told me how excited they are because of the emails they've received. Thank you for putting your attention towards this piece.
Charles Greene
@ramos_author – Thank you so much for this! Our amazing product team has put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to make the onboarding process as seamless as possible. In fact, one of the main reasons I created Remento was because I found other products on the market to be so difficult and labor-intensive. The idea of missing out on capturing a parent’s legacy due to clunky UX just doesn't seem right! Thank you for being a customer. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I’ll share your feedback with our product team—it’ll absolutely make their day.
Nikola Bucalo
Love the idea of this - I hope this will help so many people who want to share their life stories and experiences. I think about all the people that are dealing with terminal illnesses or old age that would love to have a tool like this to bring their story into a forever kind of thing.
Charles Greene
@nikola_bucalo - Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We have actually been working with a few dementia nonprofits and retirement communities to develop Remento for exactly those use cases. Love what you're doing with IndiePulse and Reddit analysis btw!
Achille Cavinato
Wow guys, very nice idea to keep a lifetime memories in one place and in an easy and automatic way 🔥 Congratulation for the launch to the whole team 🚀
Charles Greene
@achille_cavinato_jenium - Thank you so much Achille, love that it resonated with you! We've got a special Product Hunt exclusive discount code if you want to grab Remento as a gift for someone in your life - PRODUCTHUNT20. Either way, thank you again for your support.
Charles Greene
Hey @achille_cavinato_jenium - Thanks so much for the message! Yep, "easy" and "automated" were two things that were very much top of mind as we've built this product. Documenting a parent's stories is something that in every user research conversation we did, people identified they wanted. But if it was anything short of "easy" and "automated", it simply wouldn't happen. Very thankful to be #building in an era where we can take so much of the effort off the hands of our customers! And when they use that technology to create a timeless keepsake...well, that's about as good as it gets.

Have been using this product for a year and LOVE it -- great work team!
Charles Greene
Thank you @aw55!! So thrilled that you're using Remento with your family and that its been a positive experience! We appreciate you.
N Firmansyah
Wonderful! Good memories will last forever with Remento, and the touching story behind it is heartwarming. Congratulations on the launch!
Charles Greene
Thanks so much @nfirmansyah. You're spot on! And turns out, there's a lot of research that speaks to the scientific benefits of reminiscing. So the act of preserving memories is as much of a gift to your parents today as it is to your family long into the future.
Thomas Mazimann
Remento is such an amazing idea, and I’m so excited about it! The way it blends AI with personal storytelling is incredible!
Charles Greene
@thomas_mazimann2 - Thank you so much, it's amazing to see Remento resonate with so many other founders and product geeks 🤓
Dmytro Khlopkov 🇺🇦
Remento sounds like a neat idea! Would love to give it a try 💪 Best of luck on the launch and great work team 👏👏👏
Charles Greene
Thanks so much @dmytro_khlopkov! Really appreciate you saying that. Need to check out Seven24.ai!
Natalia Toth
Thank you for creating the product and sharing the touching story behind. I've no doubt that you just launched the Product of the Month. ❤️ I think it's indeed a perfect gift for parents and grandparents. One question, which languages do you support at the moment?
Charles Greene
@natalia_toth Thanks so much for the support! Remento's Speech-To-Story™ technology supports both English and Spanish 🌟. We're actively working on expanding our language offerings, and we'll have more options available soon. We know how important it is to capture family stories in the language they're most naturally told in, so adding more language support is a top priority for us.
Azamat Khamidov
Absolutely loving Remento! It's such a unique way to preserve family stories
Charles Greene
Thanks @diartify! So thankful to call you a customer and so deeply grateful for all your incredible feedback at you've used Remento with your family!
Alan McIlroy
I received a Remento subscription as a gift from my adult children last Christmas. I have been delighted by how fun and thoughtful the weekly prompts are and by how user friendly the whole process is. No question about it, speaking into my phone for a few minutes a week is the way to go. Writing it would never have happened. Great experience!
Charles Greene
@alan_mcilroy - Thank you so much for sharing this sir! Our product team invested a huge amount of time and effort into creating the simplest user experience possible to ensure our users actually enjoy creating their memoir and passing on their legacy. It's a privilege :)
Charles Greene
@alan_mcilroy - Thank you for sharing your experience with Remento! I'm so thrilled to hear that you've found the process of sharing memories to be so easy and intuitive. We love having you as a customer 💛
Garrett Rothstein
Beautiful idea. My grandmother is 91 and still “with it” mentally. I plan on using this to keep her memories and stories alive far into the future.
Charles Greene
@garrett_rothstein1 - Thank you so much for sharing, this is exactly the use case we built the product for! If you're grabbing Remento for your grandmother, make sure to use our special Product Hunt code at checkout – PRODUCTHUNT20 – to get $20 off. It's a small thank you for all the incredible support and feedback we've got from awesome PH folk like yourself!
Ashit from Draftly.so
Lovely idea, @charlie_g1, @alex_massonneau_r @rachelaubrey@william_gadsby_peet @mat_sherman. Seriously. Do you plan to support other languages? I imagine many elderly people in non-English speaking countries would love to share their stories too.
Charles Greene
@alex_massonneau_r @rachelaubrey @mat_sherman @ashitvora - Thank you, so glad you like the product concept! In terms of other languages, yes we currently support both English and Spanish, with plans to roll more out next year. Would love to have universal language support - we'll get there one day!
Jordan Wexler
Deeply meaningful product, beautiful execution!
Charles Greene
@jordan_wexler - Thank you so much! Takes one deeply meaningful product with strong execution to know one! For anyone that has or will soon have kids and doesn't know @early_bird, you best check it out 😊
Huzaifa Shoukat
Congrats on the launch! This is a fun, innovative way to capture and share family stories. How do you see Remento evolving in the future?
Charles Greene
@ihuzaifashoukat - Right now, our product roadmap is focused on nailing the recording experience and UX to make it as easy as possible for our users to turn 15-20 minutes/week of effort into a printed book of memories that will last forever. In the future, plans include adding more languages and further exploring other use cases of our Speech-To-Story™ tech like baby books. Watch this space :)
Fareeha Salahuddin
This is such a beautiful use case for AI! Love to see it
Charles Greene
So kind of you to say @fareeha. The best part of this job is speaking with our customers, and there's nothing quite like hearing our older storyteller's describe their first experience with AI as "magic" and "helping them do something they never dreamed would be possible." Such a privilege!
Tim Hillison
This looks supercool. @charlie_g1! Congrats to you and the team on the launch. I am looking forward to playing around with it!
Charles Greene
Thanks so much @tim_ep1. We are looking forward to having you as a customer. Please let me know if you have any questions as you're exploring!
Daniel Zaitzow
Launching soon!

Charles Greene
Thanks so much @dzaitzow! Really appreciate the nice feedback about our mission. It's definitely what keeps us going!
