SEED Stories

Your guided memory companion

The stories behind your photos. In the voices that tell them.

Start with a gentle question. Record the answer with the speaker’s agreement, keep the original voice, and correct the transcript beside it. Each story finds its photo, its people and its place in your private vault.

SEED Stories open in the SEED dashboard on a computer, with example records.

Why Stories

The person you call Mum had a life before you knew her.

Photographs keep the faces. The names, the jokes and the reason everyone was laughing live only in someone’s memory, and in their voice.

Stories gives you a way in: one good question, then room for the answer. Childhood mischief. First love. The hardest decision. And your own life, while the small details are still close.

“What was happening just before this photo?”

A good place to begin. One question can open a whole story.

How it works

A few minutes. A question that matters.

Let Stories guide the beginning. Stay with a detail, skip a topic, and pick the conversation up another day.

  1. 01

    Ask before you record.

    Start from a photograph, a place or a person. Explain what you want to keep and who may hear it; the speaker can skip a question or stop at any time.

  2. 02

    Follow the interesting detail.

    One question at a time. Try “Who else was there?” or “How did that feel?” Record in Stories, write an answer, or bring a recording you already have.

  3. 03

    Keep the source and the story.

    The original recording stays separate from the transcript and from edited stories. Add the photo and context, and check names and dates against the audio before you share.

More ways to bring a story out.

Your photographs have follow-up questions.

Bring selected photos, letters and earlier stories from your vault. Your private AI suggests what to ask next: the missing names, the untold journeys.

More than one perspective.

A sibling may remember the journey; a parent, the reason they went. Each recollection keeps its own attribution. Different memories can stay different.

Spoken, written or already recorded.

Record with the speaker’s agreement, write a recollection, or bring an older recording you have permission to use. A conversation, not a polished performance.

Personal stories. Personal choices.

A recording is permission to preserve a moment.

Ask separately before sharing someone’s personal story. Keeping their voice does not give permission to clone it or generate new words in it.

  • Your private server. Your own AI.

    SEED runs core AI inside your private server environment. Your recordings aren’t sent to a model publisher for core processing, or used to train models or target ads.

  • Sharing one story opens nothing else.

    Choose a recording or collection for a particular person. The rest of your vault stays private.

  • Outside models are optional.

    You choose the provider and the material it receives.

Part of SEED

One vault. Eleven apps.

Stories keeps its recordings in the same private vault as your photos, messages and documents, so every other SEED app can find them when you choose.

Before you begin

A few things worth asking.

Do I need a whole life story to start?

No. Start with a childhood memory, a friendship, a family tradition or something that happened yesterday. You can preserve your own experience, too.

What can I use to guide the conversation?

Start with a topic, a photograph or selected material from your vault. Your private AI helps you explore follow-up questions. You choose which records to include and which questions to ask. There is no need to upload your whole archive.

Can I bring recordings I already have?

Yes, where you have permission to use them. Keep the original file and add the speaker, date, photograph and context. Supported processing depends on the file format and recording length.

What if relatives remember the same event differently?

Keep each recollection attributed to the person who shared it. Add context and corrections without turning an uncertain date or a disagreement into a single verified fact. Each contribution needs the person’s agreement.

How should I use a transcript?

Use it to revisit a conversation, then check names, dates and quotations against the original audio. Transcripts and AI summaries can contain mistakes. Your corrections remain separate from the original.

Does recording a voice create an avatar?

No. Preserving an original recording and generating new speech are separate choices. Stories does not automatically authorize an avatar.

Is Stories the same as Memoir?

Stories captures and preserves your source material. Memoir turns selected memories into a book you review. Memoir is a separate purchase: $10 per digital book or $50 per printed book, with shipping and any additional generation charges confirmed separately.

Will signing up create my account right away?
