Heritage Tales
They hear where they come from
Short audio stories about your family’s history, food and traditions. Bedtime becomes a window onto the people who came before them.
What RootED is
AI-powered storytelling to preserve heritage values
RootED helps your child hear, learn and love your family’s language, through audio stories and playful word lessons. No screen needed.
What you get
Three things inside RootED
Every family gets the same three: stories about where they come from, words for the people they love, and a library that grows with other families like yours.
02
Learning Adventure
Words for the people they love
Sprout and Wiggles introduce new words in your heritage language, with context clues and spaced repetition, so the next call with grandparents has more than hello.
03
Community Library
A culture that grows with every family
Families who share your culture add their own stories, so no one carries it alone. Created by parents, checked by a native speaker.
Your voice, your story
Sometimes the best storyteller is someone your child already loves
Create your own stories and have them read aloud in your voice or a grandparent’s, even when you’re miles apart.
Voice
Your voice, every night
Record a few minutes once, and RootED can read stories to your child in your voice. Traveling for work, or grandparents across the world? Your child still falls asleep to a familiar voice.
Story creator
Build your own tale
Pick the characters, place, mood and length, and RootED creates a story just for your child. Put Nani in it, set it in the city where you grew up, and every story stays short, playful and in your heritage language.
Your voice belongs to you. Recordings are used only to create your family’s stories, are never shared, and can be deleted anytime.
Plant it anywhere
Fit it into the moments you already have
Busy parents want the same thing: more of their language in the day, without one more thing to manage. Here is where RootED fits.

“My mom lights up on every video call, and my daughter answers her in English. They adore each other, but the conversation is over in two minutes.”
Second-generation Indian father
What RootED does: Heritage Tales give your child the words, names and family stories to say more than hello.
“By bedtime I have nothing left. I can’t run a lesson. I just want him to fall asleep hearing our language.”
First-generation Iranian mother
What RootED does: Press play on a short Heritage Tale. There is no lesson to run and nothing to prepare.
“We’re in the car an hour a day, and every minute of it is in English.”
Second-generation Telugu mother
What RootED does: Turn drive time into story time. It is audio, so eyes stay on the road and hands stay free.
“I don’t want to hand her another screen just so she can learn our language.”
First-generation Iranian father
What RootED does: RootED is audio-first. Stories play in the background while she builds, draws or plays.
When apps fall off the to-do list
“We’ve tried apps. They were great for a week, then life got busy.”
