01
Start wherever you like
No preparation, questionnaire or blank page. Talk, type, pause or change subject without being rushed.
Life stories, kept in the voice they were told.
Talk about your life. Remi will follow where you go.
Reminise is a private, voice-first place to tell your stories without preparing anything. Pause when you like, keep uncertainty as uncertainty, and decide what others may see.
For storytellers, invited family and the care teams they choose.
Paused · no rush
The Talk screen — where every visit begins.
Why this matters
The stories we mean to ask about are easy to leave too late.
Family history often lives in fragments: a much-repeated saying, the name of a dance hall, a journey to work, the way Sunday lunch was made.
Reminise is designed to make storytelling gentle and ongoing — never a test, a score or a formal interview, but a conversation that unfolds at its own pace. It is designed to support wellbeing, mood and a sense of connection, and to keep a life story in the words it was told in.
How it works
A story gathered gently, over time.
There is no script to complete. Each conversation can begin wherever feels natural.
02
Be heard carefully
Remi asks one short question at a time, follows the details you choose and leaves uncertainty uncertain.
03
Review what is kept
Misheard details can be corrected before they are kept, with a short quote and source attached.
04
Share on your terms
Choose what stays private and what family, care or future legacy access may include.
Designed to follow, not lead
Memory with room for correction.
Reminise is being designed to hold useful context without turning a recollection into unquestioned fact. “I think”, “maybe” and “1968?” remain uncertain. A correction is checked before anything is kept.
Context, not certaintyCorrections welcomedSources kept closeBoundaries respected
Margaret talking with Remi
Remi is an AI companion, not a person
You said Danny played cricket in the lane. What do you remember about that?
Why this was asked: This follows something Margaret just said.
M
I think it was Danny. It might have been his brother.
It sounded as if it may have been Danny, or his brother. What happened next?
PauseThat’s not rightI’ve finished
Intended experience. Remi asks one question at a time and does not save a poor or repetitive transcript.
Inside the app
Quiet screens. Large type. Nothing like a form.
Early screens from the Reminise prototype. Names and stories shown are examples.
Talk
A calm orb, not a person. Speak or type, pause, change subject or finish.
Stories
Kept in their own words, with who can see each one.
One story
Private, family, care or legacy — the storyteller chooses.
My life
A timeline by decade. Uncertain dates stay uncertain.
Family
Invitation only. Private stays private.
Care resident
A person, not a chart. Staff notes stay labelled.
Take a copy
A life story, book or archive — reviewed by a person first.
Legacy choices
What is kept, and who may see it — decided with care, in advance.
Three audiences, different rights
One life record. The storyteller stays in charge.
Family and care can contribute to the record. They cannot silently change it or see beyond what was shared with them.
The storyteller decides
Your life. Your words. Your pace.
Talk with Remi, revisit stories, people, places and past conversations, and decide what is private, family, care or legacy.
- Someone to talk to who is interested, and who is not in a hurry
- No test, no score and no right answer — forgetting something is not a failure
- Your life kept in your own words, including the maybes
- A feeling of being known, because Remi remembers what you have already said
- You stay in charge of what is private, what family can see and what care can see
- You can pause, change the subject or stop — a difficult person or a hard day can be left alone
- Speaking is enough. No typing, preparing or finishing a form
- Pleasure in telling a story again: a Sunday, a person, a place
Thoughtful by design
The details that keep a story human.
Useful technology should stay in the background. What matters is feeling heard, understood and in control.
Voice-first conversations
Speak naturally instead of typing or working through a questionnaire.
Memory over time
Return to familiar people, places and open threads across different conversations.
People, places & relationships
Keep the connections around a story together, so its meaning is easier to follow.
A growing life archive
Gather stories, people, places and a timeline into a collection that can also become a reviewed book.
Invited contributions
Family can offer photos, context and questions. Suggestions stay labelled and never overwrite the story.
Clear origins
Keep each saved memory traceable to the conversation or contribution it came from.
Corrections & uncertainty
Make room for ‘I’m not sure’ and update details when the storyteller corrects them.
Boundaries respected
Change the subject, pause or leave something private — without being pushed to continue.
What it could become
A life, gathered into something that lasts.
This is an early product. We are exploring what a thoughtful, useful archive could become — and inviting the people who might use it to shape that direction.
Stories, people and places
Named as the storyteller named them, with the original words and source kept close.
A life timeline
Organised gently by decade, with approximate dates left approximate.
A reviewed book or digital timeline
Previewed by a person before it is treated as finished; private material does not ride along.
A complete archive
A copy of the record and its sources, prepared without changing who may see what.
Choices that remain yours
Decide what may be seen later, while you are here to decide.
One day, a life’s record becomes a legacy — and it becomes one the storyteller shaped in advance: what is kept, who may see it and for how long. Those wishes are honoured with care and confirmed by a person at every step, never assumed.
What is kept, and who may see it
Care access follows prior choices
Their words stay their words
