Fireside helps you capture and preserve loved ones' life stories. Record video/audio interviews with AI-guided prompts, access a curated question bank, and create digital and physical keepsakes. Keep memories safe and shareable, forever.
👋 Thanks for hunting us @kevin! I'm Ravi Bhankharia, the creator of Fireside, and I'm excited to share our story with you today.
Fireside was born from a powerful mission: preserving the rich, personal stories of our families before they fade away. In an era where digital noise often drowns out intimate narratives, we've created a platform dedicated to capturing, protecting, and sharing the meaningful memories of our parents, grandparents, and loved ones. Fireside isn't just a recording tool—it's a digital sanctuary where family histories can be documented, treasured, and passed down through generations.
We've packed the platform with thoughtful features to make storytelling effortless: AI-suggested questions that spark meaningful conversations, a carefully curated question bank to guide your exploration, and the ability to create physical keepsakes with QR codes that unlock digital memories. Our vision is a private, secure social experience that celebrates personal history, free from the overwhelming noise of traditional social media.
But this is just the beginning. We're building features like real-time translation to bridge language barriers with relatives, the ability to transform conversation transcripts into beautiful books, and AI-powered video editing that brings your stories to life.
💬 I can't wait to hear your thoughts and answer your questions! Thanks for checking out Fireside ❤️
I wonder how do people come with such "out of the box" ideas. Really looking forward!
@ravi_bhankharia Congratulations on launching Fireside! The concept of preserving family stories is truly valuable. However, I'm curious about how you address privacy concerns. What measures are in place to ensure that users feel secure sharing personal narratives? Looking forward to seeing how this platform evolves!
I recommend Fireside to anyone who wants to preserve the important stories and memories of their loved ones! This app makes it easy to record video and audio interviews with AI that will suggest questions for conversation
Congrats on launching Fireside, Ravi! 🎉 The mission to preserve and celebrate family stories is so meaningful, and Fireside seems like the perfect tool to make that process effortless. Love the AI-suggested questions and QR code keepsakes—it’s such a thoughtful way to bridge generations. Excited to see how Fireside evolves with features like real-time translation and transcript-to-book functionality. What a beautiful way to keep family histories alive! ❤️📖✨
This is such a brilliant idea, especially for preserving memories. Wondering especially for older generations who are not as tech savvy but aren't in the same location, how do you capture this? And aside from Vinyls, will there be an option to make a book or something? Thanks, so cool!
Congratulations on the launch - I love your mission and the product is exactly something I've been looking for to connect with my aging grandparents.
What a heartfelt way to preserve memories! This makes sharing stories truly timeless and meaningful.
Here's a little inspiration for starting deeper conversations with your family members.
Imagine you could only ask ONE question to truly understand someone’s life story. What would it be?
I like the idea 🔥
There could also be another use case for group Meetups and interviews so that you could capture these “fireside” chats and turn them into content. Like mini podcasts 🎙️
Fireside sounds like a beautiful way to preserve family stories for future generations. Can you tell me more about how the AI-guided prompts work and if there are any privacy features to ensure the stories remain secure?
This is great! Have you considered optionally integrating socials and gmail to learn about your history automagically?
Hey Ravi! I've seen you on Uneed as well. It's super cool cause I can imagine everyone of us using this. Hope many people can feel the same and wish you all the best on this impressive launch
