- For
- Families preserving Vietnamese-speaking elders’ life stories
- Worth noticing
- The sample conversation is explicitly labeled invented; the page says real clips appear only with the storyteller’s recorded yes.
Field notes
The setup process asks relatives for the elder’s preferred name, language or dialect, and the time of day they feel most at ease. The page says Mai identifies herself as AI and asks permission aloud before recording; it also says elders do not have to handle a form, password or price. The on-page demo lasts 42 seconds, has captions but no audio, and is explicitly presented as invented rather than a real family recording.
