Memories fade, and with them, the essence of who we are. Most people struggle to document their lives meaningfully, leading to a silent erosion of stories, insights, and emotions. Pastival uses generative AI to transform voice, text, photos, and video into a coherent, searchable, and insightful timeline - offering personal reflection, emotional connection, and smart memory management.
