Speak one memory. We’ll help you remember the rest.

Recall Aid is a warm voice conversation that helps an older adult bring back their own memories, then keeps them as an illustrated book their family and care team can share.

Your AI Book.

Every memory you bring back becomes a page in your book. Organized by decade, with AI illustrations, your own photos, and the words you used. The result is a memoir your family can read, hear, and keep.

Built from memories one real user brought back through Recall Aid. The name on the cover is changed for privacy. The page shown is “Grandmother’s Kitchen Memories.” Your book grows with every session and downloads as a PDF whenever you want it.

How your AI Book starts.

Choose the path that fits. For yourself: speak one memory and the rest follows. As a gift: you buy it, they get your invitation, and what they bring back becomes the family’s book.

Recall Aid conversation interface as the AI asks a memory question
  1. Tell us one story moment you still carry. A few words is enough. We use it to begin the recall session.
  2. Choose how to answer. Use Live Voice, Tap to Talk, Type, or Write it Down.
  3. Recall Aid uses your exact words to build cues that bring more of it back. The AI asks from your own words, like an old friend helping the rest come back.
  4. An AI Book chapter from your own words, plus an illustration and HD narration. Built only from what you said. No invented details.
  5. Each memory you bring back makes your book easier to build. Return anytime. Your timeline and memoir grow from the words you speak.

Real recall, from real first sessions.

Three community leaders tried a first session and told us what came back. None of them are patients, and none are describing memory loss.

Our story

I built Recall Aid because I have epilepsy. I lose pieces of days and have trouble pulling them back, and I noticed an old friend could say a few words and a whole season would come flooding back. I wanted to know why, and I wanted a way to do it on purpose. Older Black Americans are about twice as likely to face Alzheimer’s or another dementia (Alzheimer’s Association 2024), and the work matters most where memory matters most.

Built for older adults, especially Black families. Designed to work through memory loss.

Recall Aid is a recall tool, not a diagnosis. Anyone can use it. We build to this standard because Black families face the dementia disparity at twice the rate (Alzheimer’s Association 2024), and design that works under memory loss works better for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you join.

How does the gift work?

You pay $99 once, today. We email your recipient the invitation right away, with your personal note. They click the link, make their own account, and start their first memory. Once they say yes to sharing, their stories show up in your own Recall Aid account. Nothing renews on its own.

What’s the difference between a gift and a subscription?

The gift is $99 once for a year, paid by you for someone else, with no auto-renewal. A subscription is for yourself: your first memory is free, then $24 a month, cancel anytime. Same product in both cases.

What happens when the gift year ends?

Your recipient keeps every Memoflection, recording, and photo from the memories they brought back as a downloadable AI Book, a memoir built from their own words. Nothing renews on its own. If you want to give another year, that is one more payment of $99.

Is my data private?

We use trusted service providers to operate Recall Aid under our Privacy Policy. Memories, voice recordings, and personal information are encrypted in transit and at rest. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Can I start it for myself?

Yes. Your first memory is free, no card. After that it is $24 a month with the same guided sessions and the same AI Book, and you can cancel anytime. Choose “Me” when you start, and the book is yours from the first memory.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Recall Aid runs in any web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. You click one link and talk.
