Italian-American families pass identity through Sunday dinners, sayings, recipes, and stories of the village. When nonna passes, the recipes survive — but the stories often don't. Heirloom captures these stories with the AI interviewer asking in English (Italian native support coming Q4 2026) and preserves original Italian or dialect audio. Family Council captures the whole tribe: nonna, nonno, mamma, papà, zii e zie.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Heirloom support Italian dialects (Sicilian, Neapolitan, etc.)?
Standard Italian native support arrives Q4 2026. Dialect audio is preserved in original form even before native dialect transcription ships.
My nonna is 92 and doesn't use technology. How does this work?
We call her at scheduled times. She talks. We transcribe. Family Council surfaces synthesized answers for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to ask.
Can I record her recipe stories specifically?
Absolutely. Tag specific Council questions with categories — 'recipes', 'wedding', 'village', etc. Future generations can filter by category.
What if she passes before we finish?
Whatever's recorded becomes the Council. Even 5-10 hours of conversation creates a meaningful AI Council, and everything recorded is preserved and exportable.
