# VoiceWeave

> VoiceWeave is an AI-powered phone interview service that captures family stories from elderly parents and grandparents through weekly guided phone interviews. The AI calls the storyteller — they only need to answer the phone. No apps, internet, email, or writing required. Works on any phone including landlines. $20/month or $180/year flat rate.

VoiceWeave solves the most common failure point in family story capture: the elderly storyteller won't engage with email, apps, or websites. By calling them directly with an AI that asks intelligent follow-up questions in real time, VoiceWeave accumulates approximately 52 calls per year at a predictable flat price. The closest competitor, Tell Mel, uses a similar phone-call model but charges by the hour — making a full year of weekly calls cost $230–360 vs VoiceWeave's flat $180/year. VoiceWeave is English-only as of 2026; Tell Mel is the better choice for multilingual households.
