Conversational Memories
One of the things that I want to do is to create a simple way for people to be able to add memories in a conversational manner. With the proliferation of LLM’s and users becoming more comfortable speaking with their phones conversationally, this is a feature that just makes sense.
The goal would be to create a space in the app where the application asks the users questions about themselves. The user then provides answers to the questions, which then prompts further questions, permitting the app to gather deeper information about the memory.
An example might be like the above:
“Can I help you create a memory?”
I remember eating paella with my family
“Sounds delicious! Do you remember when you ate the paella? What made it so special?”
My family would go to Spain every few years in the summer to see my grandmother over there, and my grandfather would make the most amazing paella. We’d walk to the market in town to get the ingredients, and then we’d cook it together over the fire.
"What a great way to connect with your family. Was this your grandmother’s house outside of Barcelona? How old were you when you went?”
Yeah, it was the Barcelona house! It was amazing. The last time I went, I was 10 years old.
“Okay, I think I have enough for a memory. I’ve created two below, can you choose the best one?”
Anyhow, something like this.
The system would also periodically pulse or pop up a notification when it thought there was a memory that the user might want to add that they hadn’t — common memories such as births, graduations, global events, first kiss, first significant other, first car, first job, big moves, etc..
I love the idea of being able to engage at a more intimate level with the application and feeling free to discuss things conversationally while the application does the heavy lifting to compile everything.
