Tell me, Grandma

Grandma or Grandpa records or writes down a few memories from their childhood, and we turn them into a calm bedtime story for the grandchildren. Private, just for your family.

A few small things are enough: the first snow in the yard, a goat that kept running away, the walk to school over a little footbridge. From these we write the kind of story you know from Sovalu: a calm plot with nothing scary, a gentle lesson that comes from the story itself, and a quiet wind-down with slow breathing at the end.

How it works

  1. Memories. A grandparent records a few childhood memories on their phone or writes them down. If they would rather not write, a grandchild can ask our prepared questions and write down or record the answers for them.
  2. The story. We turn the memories into a bedtime story. AI suggests an outline; a person rewrites and checks it. You read and approve the text before we narrate it.
  3. Listening. The story is read by the Sovalu narrator (an AI voice), or by a clone of Grandma’s or Grandpa’s own voice if they would like that (see our principles below). Only you and your family receive it.

Five questions to get started

Questions for Grandma or Grandpa. A grandchild is welcome to ask them.

  1. What was the house or flat you lived in as a child like? Which corner did you love most?
  2. What were evenings like at home before bedtime?
  3. Which animal from your childhood do you remember most fondly?
  4. What did you and your friends play outside when it snowed?
  5. What could make you happiest as a child?

There is no need to answer everything. For a bedtime story we choose cheerful, calm memories and leave sad or difficult moments aside.

Privacy and consent

  • Just for your family. We deliver the story only to the family who ordered it. We will never publish it, not even as a sample, without the explicit consent of both the grandparent and the person who ordered it.
  • A grandparent’s voice only with their consent. We only create a voice clone if Grandma or Grandpa records a sample themselves and explicitly agrees. Otherwise the Sovalu narrator reads the story.
  • We never clone the voices of people who have died. Not from family videos, voice messages or old recordings, and not even at the request of their relatives.
  • We never hide the AI. Each recording starts with a sentence saying the voice was created by artificial intelligence. We never pass off an AI voice as a live reading.
  • We protect your memories. First names or nicknames are enough. We use the memories and recordings only for this story and delete them after delivery (the exact period will be set before launch). For young listeners we only use a voice tool whose terms allow it.
