Life Story
Record life stories before they're forgotten
Most family stories are never recorded because nobody knows what to ask. autopodi asks the questions and follows up on the details that make a story come alive.
Start a life storyThe problem
Sitting down with a parent and a list of questions feels formal, and the best stories come from follow-ups you don't think of in the moment.
How autopodi helps
Choose Life Story, and let the person speaking talk about a period of their life. autopodi asks gentle, specific questions — names, places, what it smelled like, what happened next — and respects anything they'd rather not discuss.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone else speak while I hold the phone?
Yes, as long as the person speaking is 18 or over and happy to be recorded.
Is my conversation public?
No. Everything you record is private to your account. Nothing is ever published automatically — you choose what to edit, export and share, and autopodi only features your clips in its marketing if you opt in, and you can delete a recording, a transcript or a whole conversation at any time.
