When ChatGPT took off in early 2024, I jumped in right away. Around the same time, my family was going through big changes. My husband was preparing for work in yet another new country, my kids were getting ready to move schools, and I found myself using AI tools for all kinds of things, from helping build our first app to putting together our website. It was exciting, and AI was clearly making me more productive.
But there was also a moment when my kids told me I was spending too much time behind my laptop. And honestly, they were right.
The more I used AI, the more I realized that the most valuable parts of life don't happen inside a screen. They happen in conversations with teammates over coffee, during long work discussions, on car rides with my sons, or in those random moments you remember later while traveling.
That's when the idea behind Memoket really hit me. I didn't want AI to pull us further away from real life, I wanted to build something that fits naturally into it. Something that helps us stay present while still capturing the ideas, conversations, and moments that matter.
If AI is going to be part of our future, I'd much rather have it join real life than pull us away from it. And if Memoket means I spend less time typing things back into my laptop, I'm pretty sure my sons will be happy about that too.
