Preserve their stories. Understand their perspective. Keep their real voice in the family. Retail Price will be $199 when ready. Kin is a simple storytelling device that helps someone share their memories, experiences, values, and advice in their own voice. Through thoughtful questions and an easy physical interaction, Kin gradually creates a private, organized record of their life for future generations. How Kin Works Kin asks thoughtful questions about childhood, family, relationships, career, beliefs, turning points, lessons, and advice. Its questions adapt over time based on what has already been shared, helping the storyteller explore meaningful memories more deeply. They simply listen to a question, flip the switch, and begin talking. No screens, typing, or complicated technology are required. Kin makes sharing a life story feel naturalnot like completing an interview or learning a new device. More Than a Collection of Recordings Kin transcribes and organizes their stories into a chronological timeline of their life. It connects the people, places, photographs, relationships, milestones, values, and lessons found throughout their recordings. The Kin Life Map shows which parts of their story have been preserved and recommends meaningful areas to explore next. Adaptive Guided Storytelling: Kins questions build on what the storyteller has already shared, allowing conversations to become more personal and meaningful over time. Chronological Life Timeline: Stories are organized around the events, relationships, places, and experiences that shaped their life. Kin Life Map: Families can see which chapters and themes have been well preserved and which areas could still be explored. Photo-Triggered Storytelling: Family photographs, letters, and keepsakes can inspire new questions and preserve the memories behind them. Perspective Grounded in Their Real Words Kin uses AI to help family members understand what the storyteller believed, valued, and may have advisedbased on the stories they intentionally shared. AI reflections can point back to the original recordings that support them. When the archive does not contain enough information, Kin is clear about what it does not know. Kin does not try to recreate someone perfectly. It preserves their real voice and stories while helping future generations better understand their perspective. Stay Connected Today.
