Omoide

How it works

A gift that begins with a conversation.

You send the invitation. They talk by phone or web. Omoide asks follow-up questions and shapes their chosen stories into a printed biography, with their recorded voice alongside it.

The questions you wouldn’t know to ask

One conversation builds on the last.

A first job. An unexpected move. Someone they haven’t mentioned in years. Omoide follows those details to find the stories behind them.

Remembers the details

Omoide remembers the people and stories they have already shared, so each conversation can go further.

Asks the follow-up question

A passing detail can become a whole story. Omoide asks about what they actually say.

Moves at their pace

There is room to pause, reflect, and come back to a story. The pace follows them.

How Omoide gets to know them
A conversation with OmoideIllustration

The storyteller

“I came to California in 1977. I thought I’d stay for a year.”

Omoide

“What made you decide to leave?”

A thread to return to

“You thought you’d stay for a year. What made you decide to stay?”

Every follow-up starts with something they shared.

What the family keeps

A book that feels like them.

The way they tell a story matters. Omoide shapes their chosen stories into chapters, brings in family photographs, and keeps recordings of their voice alongside the book.

  • Edited into chapters that sound like them
  • Photographs placed in the stories where they belong
  • Reviewed and approved by the storyteller before print
  • Recordings of their chosen stories, in their own voice

Their story, their choice

Private means they stay in control.

Omoide uses the conversations to create their biography. It does not sell family stories or use them for advertising.

  • Nothing is recorded before Omoide explains that it is an AI biographer and asks for consent.
  • They can skip any question or say “Don’t ask me this.”
  • Family sees only the stories they choose to share. Full conversations remain theirs alone.
  • They can change what is shared later and review the biography before it is printed.
