Voice-first · Private by default
Not every moment is made for an audience. The real ones are for you and the people who lived them with you.
Embi is a voice-first app for the Moments that shape your life. Capture what happened, in your own words.

U.S. Surgeon General, 2023
The night you cried and didn't tell anyone why.
The morning everything finally clicked for you.
The conversation that changed how you see yourself.
The quiet moment you knew you loved someone.
Thousands of photos, and not one of them holds what you felt, what you said, or why it mattered. Those moments are your story. Embi is where they come to life.
How it works
Choose a photo, tap the Ember orb and speak. Keep your real voice, right as it happened.
Up to sixty seconds, in your own words.
Every Moment comes back with its own insight: the feeling underneath, the people and themes in it, why it mattered. Together they become a living collection of your life, in your voice.
Powered by AI. Grounded in you.
Keep it yours, or share it with a Circle of the people who were part of it. Everyone can add their point of view, in their own voice.
Private by default. Yours always.
Pattern insight · Embi Premium
The second you finish speaking, Embi reflects back what it heard, tied to that exact Moment. Nothing gets lost in a scroll: the photo, your voice and what it meant stay together, for good.
Your insights are never shared. Those are for you.
Your Ember
Every Moment shapes your Ember, a living record of your life, built while you're living it. Watch its tones, themes and patterns take shape over time.
Every feeling has a color
Your legacy is forming
A mature ember
Ask it about your journey, or share it with the people who were part of it, so they can ask it too.
Tap a stage to see what your Ember is doing.
Your legacy
A photo is a frame. A Moment is the whole story, and it keeps growing long after you've spoken it.
A photo and your voice, right as it happened.
An insight tied to that Moment: what you felt, and why it mattered.
Moment by Moment, the tones, themes and patterns of your life take shape.
A living collection in your own voice. Ask it about your journey, or share it with the people who were part of it, so they can ask it too.
Years from now, the people you love won't just see the photo. They'll hear you tell it.
It's a place to give life to your Moments.

Your Circle
Keep yours private, or invite someone who was there to add theirs, in their own voice. Neither replaces the other.
With Embi Premium, up to
10
people in a Circle. Everyone shares. Everyone adds their voice.
Keep a Circle for each part of your life, and choose exactly which Moments each one sees.
Your insights are only for you
Private insights are never shared, not even with your Circle.
Every Moment starts private
Nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.
You own your content
Your voice, your photos, your insights and the responses you create.
Change your mind anytime
Make a shared Moment private again. Circle replies are hidden, never deleted.
Your history stays yours
New Circle members don't see past Moments unless you turn it on.
The founders
Built from lived experience. Driven by purpose.
Tap a photo to hear our story, in our own voices.
Founder & CEO
A son, a brother and a father of three. A career in business banking at Bank of America, Capital One and JPMorgan Chase taught him that the strongest relationships are built over time. When his mother beat stage four cancer, he realized photos alone couldn't hold what those moments meant. Embi is how he makes sure they never have to.
Co-founder & CTO
A father of five, and that's exactly why Embi is built the way it is. Twenty-plus years leading enterprise technology at Accenture, EY, KPMG, and NTT Data taught him how to build systems that last. Raising five kids taught him what a system like this is actually for: making sure his own voice outlives him.
Coming soon · Embi Legacy Orb

Hey Embi, what's for dinner?
You really enjoyed the pizza you had with Mom last week. Want me to find local restaurants, or pull up some recipes?
Phase 1 · Now
Capture Moments, build your Circle, and see the patterns in how you feel and grow.
Phase 2 · Coming soon
Your Moments, out loud. Your story, in your living room — or theirs.
Phase 3 · The vision
Your grandchildren asking what you were really like — and hearing your actual voice answer.
