Adam’s Story: Preserving His Parents’ Memories with Remento

When Adam watched Charlie pitch Remento on Shark Tank, he immediately recognized the solution he'd been searching for. With aging parents whose stories deserved preservation, he needed something that would feel effortless for them while creating something meaningful for generations to come. Today, Adam's parents regularly record their memories on Remento, and each notification of a new story brings the entire family closer to the voices and experiences they treasure most.

How Remento Preserves Memories Through Voice and Video

Adam purchased Remento the same day he watched the Shark Tank episode, instantly recognizing it as the perfect solution for his parents.

Each week, his parents receive thoughtful prompts through email or text message. They can respond by video or audio recording, using any device with internet, such as a phone or computer. There are no passwords to remember and no typing required. They simply record.

These recordings become the foundation of a beautiful hardcover book that preserves not only their stories but also their voices and presence.

“As soon as I saw Charlie on Shark Tank talking about Remento, I purchased it that day. I was like, this is what I need for my parents.”

For Adam’s parents, who are not comfortable with technology but love sharing memories out loud, Remento’s no-writing-required format removed every barrier.

The Power of Remento Story Prompts in Preserving Family History

Remento’s carefully designed prompts encourage recollection, bringing forth storyteller memories that families might otherwise never hear. For Adam, this means finally having permanent records of his family’s history. Pivotal life experiences of his parents, once only mentioned in passing, are now preserved in story and sound.

“We’re at the age that our parents are of an older generation, and those stories I may have heard in passing are now things I have a record of thanks to Remento.”

Adam sends three kinds of prompts: prompts he created, selections from Remento’s question bank, and prompts personalized based on the details he added when setting up his parents’ accounts. These prompts guide his parents to recall memories rooted in everyday moments such as childhood games, the smell of home cooking, early career struggles, and lasting friendships. Each recollection carries nostalgia and emotional resonance.

Research shows that nostalgia does more than help us remember. It supports well-being, strengthens identity, and deepens our sense of connection. When Adam’s parents respond to prompts in their own voices, they revive core memories that lift their mood, reinforce bonds with family, and affirm a sense of purpose.

Families who combine prompts from all three sources preserve richer and more vivid recollections for generations. These stories do more than entertain. They ground, connect, and bring the past meaningfully into the present.

Preserve Family Stories to Create a Living Legacy

What amazes Adam most is how Remento preserves not just the words but the presence of his parents for future generations through their recorded answers to the prompts. Real-time notifications keep the whole family connected to this ongoing legacy project.

“I just got a notification that my father shared a new story on Remento. It popped up on my screen, and I know my brother and the rest of our family got the same email. This is also what happens after my mother records. We all get to watch or listen to their stories after they record them. It’s amazing.”

These moments remind Adam that his parents’ history is being documented as it unfolds. What makes it even more meaningful is the effortless way Remento’s Speech to Story technology automatically transcribes their recordings. His parents never have to write a single word after they submit their recording.

For Adam, this is more than memory-keeping. It is a living legacy for himself, his brother, and the younger children in their family. In time, these recordings will become a hardcover book with written stories alongside QR codes that link back to the original story recordings.

Why Adam Recommends Remento for Families with Aging Parents

Having experienced Remento’s impact firsthand, Adam encourages other families to begin their own memory preservation journey. He knows that many families face the same challenge of wanting to capture stories before it is too late.

“I have so many friends whose parents are all around the same age. Creating something like a Remento book with them is really unique, so I’m trying to spread the gospel as much as possible.”

Adam also recognizes that preserving family stories should feel effortless, not overwhelming. That is why Remento works so well for families with aging parents. Scientists note that recalling and sharing memories has measurable benefits. It strengthens identity, reduces feelings of isolation, and improves overall well-being. For Adam, that means his parents are not only leaving a legacy for future generations but also experiencing the immediate joy and connection that comes from reflecting on their lives.

This combination of long-term preservation and present-day benefit is one of the reasons so many families choose Remento to capture their parents' most precious memories. With over half-a-million stories recorded, Remento continues to bring families closer together through the joy of storytelling.
