Fireside: Personalized Family Podcasts Startup.

The Idea origin story

Fireside provides a platform for preserving personal stories through video podcasts. We guide users in forming distinct questions for deeper family dialogues, creating memorable conversations like early life experiences, marital wisdom, etc. These dialogues are AI-transcribed and converted into video podcasts, with machine learning suggesting follow-ups. As a tangible memento, we offer QR-coded custom vinyl plaques leading to these recordings, creating long-lasting and easily accessible memory capsules.
