Summary

Qeepsake` is a digital journaling platform built on Twilio's `Copilot` technology, allowing parents to log precious memories via SMS-based journaling. The service was founded by Jeff and Stephanie McNeil, who are proud parents of 5 young children, as a more convenient alternative to traditional physical journals or scrapbooks. Qeepsake provides a consistent phone number for users to interact with, avoiding the problem of constantly changing contact information, and offers prompts to inspire journal entries, such as asking parents to describe their child's personality in two words. The platform has scaled from serving 3,000 users on one phone number to a more scalable solution that is carrier-friendly, allowing it to accommodate its growing user base. Qeepsake aims to improve its ability to prompt parents with questions to inspire journal entries, providing a digital space for parents to record and cherish precious memories of their children.
