Ajo Stories · early access
Three steps. No homework.
The people who remember the most are often the least likely to fill in a form. So we built Ajo around conversation instead.
- 01
Elders just talk
Record a conversation on your phone, or upload one you already have. No forms, no typing.
- 02
Ajo writes it up
Every voice is transcribed and labeled by speaker, then shaped into a story you can read and keep.
- 03
The tree fills itself
Names, places and dates mentioned in the story are suggested for your family tree. You approve each one.
Phone calls and WhatsApp interviews are coming next.
Join the early list for Ajo Stories. You'll be first to try guided interviews, and we'll tell you the price before anything is charged.
Family tree · free
A tree that finds people for you.
Start with yourself and the names you know. Every story you record suggests new relatives, places and dates. Invite cousins to add their branch. Bring your existing tree in, or take it anywhere, with GEDCOM.

Why we built Ajo
Ọmọlúwàbí: good character, passed down.
In Yoruba tradition, a person of good character carries the lessons of those before them. Ajo exists so those lessons are not lost between generations.
