VITAE Turns a Parent’s Stories into a Family Book
A Japanese service records conversations with a parent, uses a dedicated AI editor to shape them into a memoir, and delivers a printed hardcover.
Field notes
The workflow is designed around an adult child conducting the conversation rather than a parent learning an app: the phone sits in the middle of the table, and the buyer presses the recording button. The site describes one to five sessions totaling roughly 150 minutes, followed by manuscript review before printing. Its plans include different copy counts, page lengths, and photo limits, while the largest plan adds timeline and family-tree pages.
