Guaranteed to teach you things you never knew.
Discover how Kaylee M. used Remento to capture her grandfather’s voice, wisdom, and legacy with ease—creating a treasured family memory book for generations to come.
Kaylee shares the heartwarming story of gifting Remento to her grandfather, Marty K., whom she lovingly calls Poppy — a father figure who helped raise and support her. Together, they're effortlessly capturing and preserving his legacy with Remento.
For Kaylee M., the idea of capturing her grandfather’s stories wasn’t just sentimental—it was essential.
Raised by her grandparents, Kaylee describes her grandfather, whom she lovingly calls “Poppy,” as a central figure in her life. He’s been more than just a grandparent—he’s been her rock, her guide, and, in many ways, a father to her. As she now raises a child of her own, Kaylee felt an urgent desire to preserve the man who shaped her so profoundly.
“Poppy has supported me every step of the way,” she said. “He sees me for who I am. And now that I have a son, I want him to know the kind of person that Poppy is.”
Like many people searching for a heartfelt gift for a parent or grandparent, Kaylee wanted something lasting. What she found in Remento was more than just a memory book. It was a bridge between generations.
Kaylee’s search for the right gift wasn’t just about finding something thoughtful—it was about preserving her grandfather’s spirit. And she knew a photo album or a handwritten letter wouldn’t be enough. What she wanted was something comprehensive, personal, and lasting.
“We want to have something comprehensive,” Kaylee explained. “And Remento allows us to do that.”
If you’re wondering how Remento works, from the first question to the final book, it’s all beautifully outlined in our How It Works guide. The process is designed to make storytelling simple and approachable, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy.
Remento offered Kaylee exactly what she was hoping for—a way to capture Poppy’s life story in his own voice, with his unique phrasing, memories, and reflections preserved just as he shared them.
One of the most compelling features of Remento is its smart, intuitive AI editing tools. Rather than forcing stories into a single style or voice, Remento gives families options—ranging from lightly cleaned-up transcripts to more polished, book-ready text.
For Kaylee, keeping Poppy’s voice intact was a top priority.
“I love the different AI options—the three different choices,” she said. “But I kept it on the one that keeps his original wording as much as possible.”
That choice meant Poppy’s stories remained true to his voice—his way of speaking, his expressions, his tone. For families who value authenticity and want to preserve more than just facts, this makes preserving stories more personal and impactful.

From intuitive prompts to effortless photo uploads, Remento guides users through the storytelling process in a way that’s natural and encouraging. Kaylee was able to support her grandfather throughout the journey, so it became a shared experience—something they worked on together.
“I really enjoy it,” she said. “It’s been such a simple process, but also really meaningful.”
What began as a storytelling tool became something far deeper for Kaylee and her grandfather—a way to reflect their values, especially their shared faith.
“Honestly, we’re just bringing glory to God at the end of it,” Kaylee said. “By showing the best of Poppy and our lives. And I’m really glad for that.”
For Poppy, it was also a chance to leave more than a will or a few photo albums behind. Remento became a sacred space for capturing what truly mattered.
“This is something that’s much, much more dear to the heart,” he said.
