INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
French startup Zyl has released a major update of its mobile app for iOS and Android
The app is all about finding long-forgotten memories of important life events in your photo library.Zyl scans your photo library and
magically finds photos that matter
It instantly brings you back to that special day with an automatically generated story
friends and family members who were part of this past event
They can contribute and add their own photos from their photo library.Sure, each user could have created their own version of this story
But collaborative stories lead to something more powerful
Years after celebrating something, Zyl brings you closer to your friends right now.Behind the scene, the company has been working on machine
learning-powered algorithms to understand the emotions behind your photo
The company has a privacy-focused approach
You have to wait 24 hours to unlock a new Storyl
That slow-paced approach sets it apart from Instagram, where you have to frenetically tap on the screen to gobble as much content as
possible.Just like with your memories, you have to make room for new memories and cherish the most important ones
In the future, Zyl could remove some of your old Storyls to let you focus on the ones that matter most
a way to add some meaningful content on top of your photos
Again, Zyl is focused on emotions and generating a good vibe
For me, it has been a great way to forget about the news cycle for a few minutes.
