EchoVault turns live conversations into a private family archive. We keep the process calm, clear, and structured so you can focus on the person, not the technology.
Three basic steps: record the story, build the Echo, and give your family a safe place to return to it.
The process is simple on purpose.
Step 1
We guide your loved one through thoughtful prompts about childhood, turning points, values, and the 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 to 90 minute session and add more over a few weeks for deeper projects.
Step 2
We use those conversations to build an Echo that reflects their voice, perspective, and way of explaining things. The result is grounded in their own words, not a generic template.
We usually prepare the first version shortly after the sessions wrap, then refine it with you as needed.
Step 3
Family members can return whenever they want, asking questions, revisiting memories, or exploring new topics in a private family space.
Families often describe it as a grounded way to revisit stories when they want to feel close again.
From consent to access control to deletion, you stay in control. We explain the boundaries in plain language and keep family access intentional.
EchoVault is for families, not ad targeting or engagement games. We treat every recording as part of a private family archive, not as content to be repurposed.
Your recordings are meant for you and the people you invite. We do not want your family's stories showing up in ads, public demos, or places you did not intend. If you want to stop, we will explain clearly what can be deleted, what can be exported, and what has already been shared with your family.
We are designing around standard safeguards including encrypted transport (TLS), encryption at rest, least-privilege access, and clear retention and deletion controls. If you need specifics for your situation, ask us directly and we will tell you what is live today and what is still in progress.
If you have stricter requirements, such as specific retention windows or export formats, ask. We'd rather be precise than vague. Read our Trust & Safety overview.
Most projects involve three roles. You do not need every detail figured out before you start. We'll help you decide who fits 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.
EchoVault is built around consent, privacy, and clear access. Our goal is a private, access-controlled space with standard safeguards as the product matures. If you have specific requirements, ask and we'll tell you what is available now and what is still 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 valuable, but it is fixed. An Echo lets you keep asking new questions over time and explore different parts of someone's story 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.
