Kindred Tales turns a parent's or grandparent's life stories into a hardcover memoir. It is bought as a gift, usually by an adult child or grandchild. For a year, the storyteller gets a weekly prompt. They can reply to the email, write online, speak and have it transcribed, or upload old recordings. The AI Edition adds Ali, an AI biographer who talks with them and asks thoughtful follow-up questions. Photos sit beside the stories they belong to, and the finished book is printed in full color on matte hardcover. Kindred Tales also makes Celebration Books, where family and friends each add a story about one person, for weddings, memorials, retirements and milestone birthdays. Nick and Rebecca founded the company in 2022 to record their own family's stories. It is family-owned and has no outside investors.
