Storied, a Provo-based family history and digital storytelling platform, has acquired artificial intelligence company Memory Lane, an advanced memory capture technology company based in New York City.
“What an exciting way to celebrate the two-year anniversary of Storied.com’s launch. This acquisition amplifies our commitment towards enhancing personal storytelling experiences through AI technology,” said Kendall Hulet, CEO of Storied. “Memory Lane’s innovative solutions will allow us to not only improve Storied’s capabilities but also significantly improve how users interact with their cherished memories and build their family trees. We are excited to advance family history and storytelling by using AI technology to make it easier and more affordable to use.”
“The family history hobby can be really expensive,” Hulet added, “but we feel strongly that everyone has stories to share that their kids and grandkids will treasure for generations to come. That is why we have bolstered our free offering, invested heavily in an ever-growing content collection, and committed to affordable pricing enabling everyone to participate in family history and the joy of connection.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Storied continue the work we started here at Memory Lane,” said Memory Lane founder Ben Cook. “Once we met with Storied, we knew we’d found a team that gets the vision of how AI can help people capture their stories for future generations and will build on the foundation we started here at Memory Lane. We are excited to see them use what we’ve built to take our vision into the future.”
Storied uses a unique platform for preserving and sharing personal stories and connecting with their past through historical records, newspapers, and traditional family history services.
