Guides

How family storytelling works

Four gentle steps keep the storyteller's original memories and choices at the center.

  1. 1Invite gently — Ask a parent, grandparent, or loved one to share at their own pace.
  2. 2Capture naturally — They speak, write, or add photos with help from thoughtful prompts.
  3. 3Approve and share — The storyteller decides what is ready and who may access it.
  4. 4Return together — Family revisits the originals and may ask optional, source-based AI questions.

Add your first memory

Preserve the original story, voice note, or photo first. Optional AI use is a separate choice for approved memories.

  1. 1Open Memories and choose "Record a memory."
  2. 2Write your story, record your voice, or upload a photo in your own words.
  3. 3Choose Family if invited family may revisit it, or Private if it is only for you.
  4. 4Save it. The original stays pending until you review it.
  5. 5You control approval and consent. Only memories you approve for Family can support optional AI questions.

Start a private family space

Create a private family space, called a Family Circle, where a loved one can preserve a story collection they own and control.

  1. 1Open Family and choose "View Family Circles," or start from the Family Circle option on the homepage.
  2. 2Create a recognizable Circle name and choose its preferred language.
  3. 3Send a private storyteller invitation by email, link, or QR code.
  4. 4If the person already has an account, they sign in through that invitation link. They do not need a second account.
  5. 5The storyteller controls every approval and consent choice. You can follow invitation progress, but you cannot see their private memories.

Invite family

Choose who can revisit approved memories while you keep control of approval and consent.

  1. 1Open Family from the top navigation.
  2. 2The first time, grant Family access consent when prompted — it's required to invite.
  3. 3Enter their email and how they're related to you (e.g. daughter, grandson).
  4. 4Click "Send invitation." They receive an email with a link to join.
  5. 5If the email doesn't arrive, share the private invite link directly. You still control every memory approval and consent choice.

Join a private family space as a storyteller

Join the space, called a Family Circle, through your private invitation while keeping full control of your own stories.

  1. 1Open the private Circle invitation link. A generic signup page cannot accept a Circle invitation without that link.
  2. 2Sign in if you already have an account, or create one using the invited email address.
  3. 3Review the invitation and accept it. Optional AI, voice, and image choices remain yours.
  4. 4Add and approve memories when you are ready. You control approval and consent; the organizer sees progress, never private content.
