The three-generation gap framing is spot on — grandparents have the stories, grandchildren want them, but the format never existed to bridge that naturally. Turning voice recordings into both a memoir chapter and an illustrated bedtime storybook from the same session is a beautiful two-output approach. How does the AI handle stories told in multiple languages or with cultural context that might not translate directly?

Hey everyone, I'm Mawuli, the creator of Tellus.
My dad is 73. He's lived an extraordinary life. Born in Ghana, fluent in Russian, witnessed Princess Diana en route to the royal wedding, built a bank from scratch. He always wanted a memoir. But he's not keen to type, so it never happened.
So I built the first version of Tellus for him. He talks, and it writes.
I now know so much more about my own father than I ever did. And most of the anxiety I had around losing him someday is gone, because I have his voice and his stories with me forever.
Then his grandkids, my nieces, wanted in. So we built a way to turn his memories into illustrated children's storybooks. Now they get to know their granddad at bedtime.
That's the three-generation problem. Grandparents have extraordinary stories. Grandchildren would love them. But the adult in the middle can't make the connection happen. There's no format for it. Journals stay blank. Recorders feel like interviews. Video is intimidating. So the stories quietly disappear.
Tellus fixes that. Each voice recording becomes a polished memoir chapter and an illustrated kids' storybook. One for their legacy, one for bedtime.
It's free to try. I'd love your feedback: what works, what's missing, what would make you actually use this every week.
This one means a lot to me.

This is exactly the startup idea i would love to build few years back.. but no problem, I will recommend this product to someone in kids group. (lol I'm your secret target audience group anyways at 29 :P)

Tellus is truly deep. Rare to see technology capture such a human experience, I have been using it for quite a while and super excited about sharing it with more people!

This is such a refreshingly human use of AI! I’ve watched Mawuli pour his heart into this project and I can’t wait to onboard my grandma and start collecting her stories.
