You grew up
in the same house.
But do you remember the same way?

Prompting the Past helps families explore, compare, and preserve their unique memories — revealing the stories you never knew about each other.

How the Family Reveal Works

Three simple steps. A lifetime of stories.

  1. 1. Invite Your Family

    Create a private project and invite family members. Each person completes their own interview — independently.

  2. 2. Explore Your Memories

    Our AI asks thoughtful, personalized questions that adapt to how each person remembers.

  3. 3. Discover Your Family Story

    We bring your memories together — revealing shared experiences, different perspectives, and surprising connections.

“We thought we knew our family story. Then we heard each other’s.”

Exit and Save

Let’s start with the house where you spent most of your childhood.

Before we talk about your parents, walk me through the front door. What do you remember first?

I remember the smell of coffee and the sound of the screen door. The kitchen was always bright, and there was usually music playing on the stereo.

Tell me more about the music.

What kind of music did your mom like? Do you remember a specific song that takes you back to that time?
