Problem
Families often struggle to preserve the stories, voices, and expressions of older relatives before they are lost to time. Traditional methods like photo albums or written notes fail to capture the emotional depth and personality that make these memories truly meaningful, and many people don't know what questions to ask to uncover hidden family history.
Solution
Laulau is a family self-discovery app that enables users to create eternal video memories by recording their parents and grandparents answering thoughtfully curated questions. The app provides a structured yet flexible experience with five themed question categories, guiding users through meaningful conversations that reveal stories they never knew. Users simply sit with their loved one in a well-lit space, select a question, and record in selfie mode with the phone at eye level to capture authentic facial expressions and voices. All recordings are stored securely with 256-bit AES-GCM encryption, ensuring that videos remain private and visible only to the user, with no ads and no data selling.
Target Audience
Laulau is designed for families who want to preserve their heritage, with primary users being grandchildren recording their grandparents, though parents and other family members also use the app to capture and share meaningful stories.
