The process
How Memrease works
From the first story you share to the thousandth morning prompt — here's what happens, and why.
Step one — Your family shares memories
Curators — the family members who look after the account — upload memories about the recipient. A memory can be a written story, a photo with a caption, a voice note, or a video. It can be a childhood anecdote, a description of a place she loved, a funny story from a family holiday, or a note about someone she misses.
You don't need to write brilliantly. You just need to remember something true. The interview feature helps if you're not sure where to start — it asks you questions and you talk. Memrease does the rest.
Step two — The AI pipeline reads and extracts
Each memory is processed by an AI pipeline that extracts conversation threads — the specific moments, details, and questions that will make for a rich morning prompt. It also scores the depth and emotional richness of each thread, and builds a map of the people, places, and eras in Grandma's life.
This is all invisible to the recipient. She never sees algorithms or scores. She sees a photo and a question about something she actually knows.
Step three — Her morning
Each morning, the recipient opens her personalised link on any device — a tablet, a phone, a shared screen. She enters her PIN and arrives at her morning prompt: a photo from the library and an opening question about a memory from her own life.
What follows is a gentle, AI-guided conversation. She can answer in as much or as little detail as she likes. The conversation follows her lead — prompting gently, never pushing. Most sessions last five to twenty minutes.
She doesn't need to know what AI is. She doesn't need to log in. She just needs to tap a screen.
Step four — Her library grows
Every memory your family adds deepens the library. The more threads available, the more varied and rich her mornings become. Curators can see which memories have sparked the longest conversations, which topics she returns to, and when she's been having her mornings.
Over time, the library becomes something permanent — a record of her story, told by the people who know it best.
Care home and shared device support
Memrease is built to work on shared tablets in care settings. Multiple residents can use the same device — each with their own PIN-protected access. When a resident moves into a care home, their library and conversation history moves with them seamlessly.
