Remento at RootsTech 2025: How Remento is Revolutionizing Family Storytelling

Revolutionizing Family Legacies with Remento: A Major Announcement at RootsTech 2025

RootsTech 2025, the world’s premier genealogy and technology conference, was the perfect venue for Remento CEO and co-founder Charlie Greene to introduce Remento’s no-write life story books to a new audience At the RootsTech Innovation and Tech Forum 2025, held on March 7, 2025, Charlie shared a deeply personal journey that inspired the creation of Remento—a first-of-its-kind solution designed to make capturing and preserving family stories effortless.

With a passionate audience of genealogists, family historians, and tech enthusiasts, Charlie’s presentation underscored the profound emotional significance of preserving personal narratives. Remento is not just a tool—it’s a bridge that connects generations by ensuring that their voices and stories remain accessible forever.

The Personal Story That Sparked Remento’s Vision

Charlie’s inspiration for Remento stems from his own family experiences. A few days before his birth, his parents purchased one of the earliest handheld video cameras, capturing nearly 100 hours of footage from his childhood. However, those recordings took on a new level of meaning after his father’s unexpected passing when Charlie was just ten years old. The videos became a cherished way for his family to keep his father’s memory alive—not through milestone events but through the everyday moments that showcased his personality and presence.

In 2017, when his mother was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer, Charlie was faced with another realization—his future children might never get to meet either of their grandparents. While scrolling through years of digital memories, he was stunned to find that he didn’t have a single video of his mother longer than 12 seconds. This stark contrast led him to record an oral history conversation, capturing her voice and stories for future generations. This experience illuminated the need for an intuitive way to preserve and share family narratives, planting the seed for Remento.

Introducing Remento: A Revolutionary Way to Capture Family Stories

Remento transforms storytelling into a seamless, engaging experience. Unlike traditional memoirs, which require extensive writing and organization, Remento makes the process effortless and deeply personal. Here’s how it works:

1. Weekly Storytelling Prompts for Seamless Story Capture

Remento provides weekly storytelling prompts over the course of a year, guiding individuals to share their memories. These prompts are expertly curated and designed to evoke meaningful responses. Some prompts are inspired by personal photographs, helping storytellers recall and share the moments that shaped their lives.

2. No Writing Required—Just Speak and Record

With Remento’s intuitive recording system, storytellers can share their stories using just their voice. No downloads, password, logins, or technical expertise are required—stories can be recorded from any device, making it incredibly easy for anyone to participate.

3. AI-Powered Speech to Story Technology

Remento’s advanced AI-powered Speech to Story technology transcribes recordings and transforms them into beautifully written narratives. The final product reads as though it were crafted by a professional biographer, ensuring that each memory is preserved in an engaging and polished format.

5. A Beautiful Keepsake Book with QR Codes for Playback

After a year of storytelling, all collected stories are compiled into a high-quality, hardcover book, complete with color-printed narratives and photographs. What makes Remento truly unique is its integration of QR codes, which link back to the original voice recordings. This ensures that future generations can not only read the stories but also hear the voices or watch the original recording of their loved ones.

By recording and sharing personal experiences, individuals not only ensure their stories live on but also strengthen their emotional connections with their loved ones in the present.
