Hey PH community!
As a parent of a 2-year old, I get how hard it is to keep a child engaged and nurture good habits in them.
While exploring Generative AI, I thought why not create a storybook for my child that features her? I was super-impressed with the result. And more importantly, my daughter loved the storybook version of herself!
So I decided to build a service that lets everyone do this.
With StoryGenius, you can:
๐ถ Put your child as central character in the storybook
โ๏ธ Use your own story idea, to teach your child specific values. Using situations and setting that is familiar to them.
๐ค Edit any aspect of the storybook using the advanced editor.
Other goodies:
๐จ๏ธ If your are concerned about screen time: Print storybook at home or order a professional print through us
๐ฃ๏ธ Support for 10 major languages
๐ Share storybook to friends and family easily using a link
Regarding pricing: APIs for SOTA image generation are quite expensive. So, we can only offer you to preview the cover page with your kid for free. If you like the cover page, you can go ahead and buy the whole book, which we generate exclusively for you. For PH community, we are offering a 20% discount using discount code: PH20OFF
You get 30 credits with each purchase, so you have full control on how you want the book to look.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Open to all feedback.
Happy storytelling!
PS: 3 shoutouts are too less, lol! Another shoutout to Dub.co@steventey for enabling this listing with their short links!
@steventey@pulkit_agrawal_pictogen I love the story behind StoryGenius, and do we have co-creating feature since kids often like to create something together? ๐Congrats! We're launching "Cascad3 - A decentralized inspiration-driven publishing platform" on Product Hunt soon. Let's collaborate! I would appreciate your support and feedback by clicking the "Notify Me" button to stay tuned and be the first to know when Cascad3 debuts on the stage.๐

Thank you!
Best regards,

@yamisun We'd definitely love to offer options where kids can contribute to the book creation!
Would love to colalborate! And Cascad3 looks great, look forward to the launch!
this is very unique creative idea ๐ก. My only suggestion and wish we can add more characters in one story like childโs friends group or two sisters or sister & brother in one story. Hope it will add in future! bravo ๐๐ฝ to your hardwork!
This is an interesting and beautiful idea! I wish you good luck with your project and I am sure that you will find your audience! but I think you should change a few elements in the design: the text padding is too small, also I feel some people will want to change the placement of the text content.
Well-executed product and launch Pulkit!
Even more impressive that you're working on it all by yourself.
Looking forward to seeing the future of StoryGenius ๐
Do you plan to offer a white label option? I would love to be able to offer this through our site (via an API) with our logo and the orders are passed to you as if we manually ordered them.
@hobbes_is_real Hi Dennis! Yes we definitely do plan to offer white-labelling and API support. Please do reach out to me on pulkit@pictogen.com. We can take this forward!
Fantastic idea and this will be a great way to get kids into a story even more. There's definitely nights when they just don't care at all ๐ So this will be a great way to boost the appeal. Thank you!
Hi, congratulations with your launch . I did the same for my 2years and by myself.
Recommendation
1. Difficulty to read text in the picture
2. More dialogues
3. Pictures have different style design, children may not understand why he or she as a character changes clothes so often or has different hairstyles. Children may be lost.
4. Make guide for parents with the aim of the story (fall asleep, fear overcome, be brave, be thankful)
StoryGenius sounds awesome! As a parent, I'm always looking for fun ways to engage my child. I love that I can make personalized storybooks featuring my kid as the main character. It's definitely worth trying out. Can't wait to create some special stories for my little one!
The project is interesting. I congratulate you.
I've just tested it and it looks promising. However, it would be interesting to be able to display a preview of the book created (a lot of information is given up front and I felt frustrated at the end having to pay directly without being able to have a visual preview of the content).
@afovet Thanks Aurelien! Noted your feedback, the issue is the cost of generating the book is very high using our current API provider. So, we generate the complete content exclusively for you after the payment.
