We are a generation who loves photos. Let’s not have any illusion about that. The most important part of photos is to keep the stories and memories alive when looking back at them. With the advent of smartphones – it’s easier to spam take loads of photos. However, in most of those instances you get more clutters than memories. Besides, if a photo is taken on a friend’s phone – it’ll only be by chance that you might get the photos. Otherwise, it’s probably lost.
Storyo is an app that tries to fix that. Using artificial intelligence, the photo app allows friends to chip in and collaborate “Instant Lifestories”, automatically creating stories from the user’s camera roll and other data in a few quick taps. Drawing additional elements from social media, weather, and people, the app automatically curates photos into short narratives that bring detail, context and flow.
One highlighting feature of Storyo 2.0 is Group Video Memories – where Storyo is able to pull and gather everyone’s photos from a specific timeframe to create shared group video memories. You can edit, share, and enjoy your story from every perspective, drawn from the memories of everyone who are part of making those moments.
Using a patent-pending proprietary algorithm and artificial intelligence, Storyo automatically curates and creates complete cinematic lifestories in 15, 30, or 60 second clips. Choose a period in your camera roll, and Storyo’s advanced algorithm creates chapters using the best photos. Then Storyo automatically gathers information from Facebook, weather, time and location to weave a unique, detailed video tapestry. With access to a curated collection of over 100,000 high quality professional videos from Shutterstock, you can add some flair to your stories.
Storyo can also be set to auto-curate a collection of stories from your timeline. Every time you open the app, you’ll be greeted by suggested video lifestories based on the photos in your camera roll.
“Storyo is unlike any other photo app on the market due to its rich storytelling but ease of use,” said Filipe Vasconcellos, CEO of Storyo. “Storyo 2.0 takes the puzzle pieces that make up our lives–random selfies or a series of photos–and organizes them with context to create rich lifestories that other apps simply can’t convey. Now, creating lifestories can be done with friends as they all pitch in together.”
The latest release, Storyo 2.0, is available in the iTunes store for download.
