Fireside helps you capture and preserve loved ones' life stories. Record video/audio interviews with AI-guided prompts, access a curated question bank, and create digital and physical keepsakes. Keep memories safe and shareable, forever.

👋 Thanks for hunting us @kevin! I'm Ravi Bhankharia, the creator of Fireside, and I'm excited to share our story with you today. Fireside was born from a powerful mission: preserving the rich, personal stories of our families before they fade away. In an era where digital noise often drowns out intimate narratives, we've created a platform dedicated to capturing, protecting, and sharing the meaningful memories of our parents, grandparents, and loved ones. Fireside isn't just a recording tool—it's a digital sanctuary where family histories can be documented, treasured, and passed down through generations. We've packed the platform with thoughtful features to make storytelling effortless: AI-suggested questions that spark meaningful conversations, a carefully curated question bank to guide your exploration, and the ability to create physical keepsakes with QR codes that unlock digital memories. Our vision is a private, secure social experience that celebrates personal history, free from the overwhelming noise of traditional social media. But this is just the beginning. We're building features like real-time translation to bridge language barriers with relatives, the ability to transform conversation transcripts into beautiful books, and AI-powered video editing that brings your stories to life. 💬 I can't wait to hear your thoughts and answer your questions! Thanks for checking out Fireside ❤️

@kevin @ravi_bhankharia I completely agree with the vision behind Fireside.

This is great! Have you considered optionally integrating socials and gmail to learn about your history automagically?

@rohan_arun1, thank you! And that's a great idea, long-term we foresee a big source of competition from Apple and Google's "Memories" feature as those companies index more and more of your digital life. We definitely see an avenue where we can inspire similar story-telling opportunities from digital footprints outside the interview context. However, after doing 100+ customer interviews, the more pressing problem is tackling those of us who don't have those digital photos or videos or records - the elderly. Fireside makes it easy for that demographic to record conversations and in the future we'll add in features to upload those analog records into a digital scrapbook to keep forever.

All the best for the launch @ravi_bhankharia!

Thanks for the support @parekh_tanmay! Super excited to get this out into the wild.

Wonderful. Promotes family bonding.
