Overview

What it is

Publishing family history shouldn't take years. Sanota lets you publish stories one by one as they are ready, connecting loved ones today instead of just preserving the past. A conversational AI uncovers meaningful details and crafts each story in a tone most suitable for you. Co-create memories from multiple perspectives. Record in your browser or via a standard phone call so no smart devices are needed. The result? Stories, beautifully crafted.

Intent

I need it when

Turn personal experiences into inspiring stories to share publicly or with a wider audience

Sanota helps users structure and refine their spoken stories into polished narratives ready for blogs, social media, or publication. The app provides curated question sets for retirement reflections, career journeys, and life transitions, enabling non-writers to produce shareable, moving content.

Create a meaningful, tangible keepsake gift for loved ones

Sanota gift cards allow recipients to record their own stories over 12 months, with the option to print collected memories as a hardcover book. This provides a personalized, heirloom-quality gift that captures voice and presence in physical form.

Create shared travel journals and collaborative memory collections with friends or family

Sanota allows multiple people to record their perspectives on the same event via shared links, then combines these voices into a single cohesive story. Users can dictate separately or together, making it ideal for trips, celebrations, and group milestones without requiring everyone to write.

Capture personal autobiography and life stories without the burden of writing

Sanota converts spoken memories into readable text at the user's own pace, piece by piece. Users speak naturally while the AI refines their words into coherent narratives in multiple styles (documentary, memoir, analytical, etc.), eliminating writer's block and making autobiography accessible.

Preserve family memories and genealogy before they are lost to time

Sanota enables users to record grandparents' and relatives' stories through guided conversation, transforming speech into beautifully written narratives. The app asks follow-up questions to deepen recall, then delivers polished text and optional hardcover books—creating lasting family archives across generations.
