The journey, step by step

Here is exactly how we take a simple conversation and transform it into a professional storybook, detailed below.

01

Share a memory

A family member shares a memory

A family member begins by sharing a memory through a gentle, guided conversation. An AI interviewer asks thoughtful follow-up questions and listens along the way — helping memories surface naturally, without pressure or preparation.

There's no app to download and nothing to set up. Just a simple link that opens a calm, respectful experience designed to feel human and unrushed.

02

We shape the story

We turn it into a narrative

After the conversation, konteen gently shapes the shared memories into a warm, age-appropriate story. The focus is on meaning — the moments, emotions, and lessons that make the memory worth passing down.

Rather than producing a raw transcript, the story is carefully written to flow naturally, while staying true to the original experience.

03

Choose a style

Choose an illustration style

Families choose an illustration style that feels right for their story. Each book is illustrated consistently from beginning to end, creating a cohesive, storybook-like experience designed especially for children.

A small set of illustration styles is available — from gentle and hand-drawn to more playful — each chosen to match the story's tone and carried consistently from beginning to end.

04

Receive a storybook

Your child receives a story

The final result is a beautifully illustrated digital storybook, written for children and easy to revisit over time. It's designed to be read together — at bedtime, during visits, or whenever families want to reconnect with the stories that matter most.

Over time, these stories become part of a family's shared history — something children grow up with, not just read once.

I remember the very first time I saw snow. I was five, on Maple Street.

What did you see? The lights, the sounds — anything that stayed with you.

The streetlamp glowed yellow, and the flakes drifted slow.

The First Snow on Maple Street1

Margaret was just five years old when she stood on Maple Street and watched her very first snow.

The streetlamp glowed warm and yellow. The flakes drifted slow and quiet, like tiny feathers in the air. Margaret reached out a mittened hand and watched a single flake land on her glove — perfect, lacy, and gone in a heartbeat.

“Look,” her mother whispered. “Everything is changing.”
