👋 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.

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.
Great job team Remento!! Haven't seen anything like this!! The origin story is touching. Good luck can see the solution to many problems.
