Tezeta helps you sit down with your parent, record their story, and turn those conversations into something your family can keep forever. No apps for them to learn. No robots to talk to. Just you, listening.
Join the WaitlistYou've thought about it. Maybe you've even started a recording on your phone, or told yourself you'd write it all down someday. But life moves fast, and these conversations keep getting pushed to "next time."
The platforms that exist today want your parent to learn an app, talk to an AI, or fill out a questionnaire alone. They turn something deeply personal into a homework assignment — and in doing so, they eliminate the most meaningful part: you, sitting there, asking and listening.
The stories your parents carry — of the places they came from, the lives they built, the choices they made — won't wait forever. And you already know that.
"The most meaningful thing about preserving a parent's story isn't the document at the end — it's the act of sitting together, asking, listening, and being present. That's time you can't get back."
Tezeta doesn't ask your parent to talk to a screen. It equips you to sit down with them, guides the conversation, and handles everything after — transcription, refinement, and design. Your presence is the product.
This isn't a homework assignment for you or your loved one. The intimacy of asking, listening, and being moved by what you hear — that emotional effort is what makes the final result meaningful.
We will never market this as "AI writes your family's story." The technology is plumbing. You tell your family's story. We handle the cleanup, the structure, and the presentation.
No two families are the same, and no two keepsakes should be either. The themes, depth, and meaning of your conversations shape a final product that is yours alone — visually and narratively.
Have a conversation with your parent or loved one — in person or over the phone, in one session or across many. Record it on your smartphone. We provide a conversation guide drawn from the methods of Studs Terkel, Terry Gross, and narrative psychology research to help you ask the questions that unlock real stories.
Upload your recordings, along with any photos, scanned letters, documents, or writings. Add context if you'd like — names, dates, places that can help us understand the full picture. Multiple file types, all at once.
Your recordings are transcribed, cleaned, organized, and given thematic structure. The result is a faithful, publication-ready narrative — your family's story in their own words, with nothing invented and nothing lost. This artifact is your foundational source of truth. You can download it, share it, and keep it forever.
The artifact becomes a bespoke, beautifully designed website — a living keepsake that weaves your family's words, photos, and history into something you can share with everyone who matters. Each site is unique, shaped by the themes and meaning of the stories themselves.
Seven hours of conversation. Seventy years of memory. One website that holds it all — from 1930s Ethiopia to present-day America.
"Everyone has a story. The question is whether anyone sits down to ask for it before it's gone."
