A guided, human-centered way to preserve the stories that matter. We keep the experience calm, clear, and respectful so you focus on the person, not the technology.
EchoVault stays gentle, transparent, and human at every point. No surprises, no pressure.
EchoVault is designed to feel gentle, simple, and guided.
Step 1
An AI-guided interviewer gently walks your loved one through thoughtful prompts about childhood, turning points, values, and the small details that make their story theirs. You can be present, join remotely, or let them record on their own schedule.
Most families start with one 60–90 minute session (Gift), and add more over a few weeks for Legacy or Heirloom projects.
Step 2
We use those conversations to train a tailored Echo that reflects their voice, perspective, and way of explaining things. We preserve their pace, their phrases, and the stories they choose to share.
We usually prepare the first version of the Echo within a short time after your recording sessions wrap, then refine it with you.
Step 3
Family members can return whenever they want, asking questions, revisiting memories, or exploring new topics with the Echo in a private, secure space. It’s designed to feel calm and always-available.
Families often tell us it feels grounding, like having a quiet room they can step into when they need to hear that voice again.
Most EchoVault projects involve three roles. You don't need all the details figured out before you start. We'll help you decide who sits where.
The storyteller
The storyteller is the person speaking: your parent, partner, grandparent, or you. They set the pace, choose what to share, and can always pause or skip questions. Our job is to make it feel like a calm, respectful conversation.
The organizer
The organizer is often an adult child, partner, or close friend. They help with scheduling, logistics, and deciding who to invite. We give organizers clear guidance so they don't have to figure it out alone.
Family listeners
Family listeners are the people who come back later: kids, siblings, grandkids, close friends. They're the ones asking new questions, revisiting stories on hard days, and discovering pieces of the story they hadn't heard before.
Sit down with someone you love, keep it calm and guided, and leave with something you can return to anytime.
From consent to access control to deletion, you stay in control. We keep everything in a calm, access-controlled space and explain every step in plain language.
EchoVault is built for families first, not for ads or engagement graphs. We treat every recording as part of a private family archive, not content.
EchoVault is being built to keep your recordings private by default. Only you and the people you invite should be able to access them. We don't want your family's stories showing up in ads, training demos, or anywhere else you didn't intend. If you ever want to stop, talk to us and we'll explain in clear language what we can remove or delete and what's already been shared with your family.
We're implementing standard safeguards as the product matures: encrypted transport (TLS), encryption at rest, least-privilege access, and clear retention/deletion controls. We'll publish the exact details as we finalize infrastructure and hosting, and we'll answer any questions directly if you need specifics for your situation.
If you have stricter requirements, for example specific retention windows or export formats, reach out. We'd rather talk through what's available now and what's in progress than gloss over the details. Read our Trust & Safety overview.
EchoVault is being built with safety, consent, and privacy as first principles. Our goal is a private, access-controlled space with industry-standard protections as the product matures. If you have specific requirements, ask and we’ll tell you what’s available now and what’s in progress.
It’s new, and it’s emotional, but it doesn’t have to be strange. EchoVault is about preserving real stories in their own words, not pretending someone is still here. Most families describe it as a comforting, human way to stay connected.
Video is wonderful, but it’s fixed. An Echo lets you keep asking new questions over time and explore different parts of someone’s story, even long after the original sessions are over. Many families use both together.
You stay in control. If you decide EchoVault isn’t right for you, talk to us. We can remove access and explain what we can delete or remove today in clear language.
