Built in Philadelphia. Proven with real elders.

They just talk to Recall Aid.

Sample screen: the AI friend. A blue orb listens as they speak.

It becomes a book.

Every story kept in a book built from their own words.

"Show me my book."Swipe or tap to turn her pages.

How does it work?

All they ever do is talk. They ask by voice for what they want, and it turns into a story filled with their memories.

Sample screen: during the voice call, they ask for a photo and the app shows an archival photo with a clear disclosure that it is not their family photo.

"Show me a kitchen from the fifties, like Mama used to have."Archival photos are labeled, never passed off as theirs.

Sample screen: during the voice call, they ask for a story and it opens with its illustration.

"Open the story about Sunday dinners."

Sample screen: during the voice call, they ask for a song and it starts playing.

"Play Lean on Me."Their music, on request.

Sample screen: during the voice call, they ask to see the timeline and it appears over the conversation.

"Show me my timeline."Their life, laid out by decade.

Companion

You run the rest from Companion. That is where you manage their stories, see the people in them, and hold the link you send. When a story is finished, you are the one who passes it on to your brothers, sisters and the grandchildren.

Older Black Americans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer’s or another dementia (Alzheimer’s Association 2024). The work matters most where memory matters most. Why we built Recall Aid

Loved from the first session

Community leaders tried a first session and told us what came back. None of them are patients.

“I feel a sense of healing. The AI articulated my story so accurately and in such an illuminating way. I want that now.”

How we keep your data safe

You are trusting us with the voice and the memories of someone you love. Here is what that means, in plain words.

  • What we store. Their recordings, the stories made from them, the pictures in their book, and your email and name.
  • What is encrypted. All of it, on the way to us and while it sits on our servers.
  • Who can hear a recording. They can, and you can. You see a story only after they say yes. Nobody else gets in unless you invite them.
  • Which rules apply. Recall Aid is not a healthcare provider, so HIPAA does not cover it. We follow the same kind of safeguards anyway, and we never use their memories to train general AI models.
