Artifact

Artifact is a consumer service that captures and preserves family stories through professional, guided interviews. The company conducts remote 30-minute interviews with a family member and edits each one into a studio-quality ~20-minute audio episode, hosted on a private webpage where relatives can add photos and share the recording. Episodes are priced per interview, positioning the product as a way to record a loved one's life story and memories. Backed by GV (Google Ventures) in the consumer sector. As of 2026 the company announced it is winding down: new Artifacts are no longer sold, and previously purchased interviews may be scheduled through October 31. The service exposes no public developer API, SDKs, or documentation surface.

Artifact is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Family Stories, Audio, and Storytelling.

Artifact’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 4 more developer resources.
