👋 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 seems like a great product. I have two young children, and I can see how meaningful something like this could become over time.

My main concern is longevity. I understand that the recordings can be downloaded, which is reassuring, but the QR codes in the book still point to Remento’s servers. I imagine the product would be most valuable to my children in 30 or 40 years, so I would want confidence that scanning the book would still work even if the company or platform no longer existed.

It would be useful to know whether there is a long-term continuity plan, or whether the QR codes could eventually be redirected to files stored independently by the customer.

The book itself looks brilliant and would make a wonderful item to pass down. I would also be interested to know more about the quality of the paper, printing and binding, given that its value depends on it lasting for generations.

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.

A very novel idea. One question: would it work for languages other than English? I would want to gift it to my grandma but she speaks Hindi. Wouldit work?

@tushj - Remento is only available in Spanish and English right now, but we'll definitely be rolling out new languages in the new year!

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!

@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.

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.

Review Remento?

Reviewers mostly like Remento for making family memories easy to capture, especially for parents or elders who would rather talk than write. Users praise the simple process, the combination of printed books and saved recordings, and the polished final book, with one reviewer also highlighting helpful support. But the feedback is not uniformly positive: a few reviewers report frustration with frequent reminders, difficulty deleting an account started by someone else, and a poor cancellation or refund experience around the Legacy Box, which hurt trust in the company.
