Hey PH fam, Super excited to bring Kidgeni to the wider tech & startup community. As a dad with a 2 yr old, I resonate with Matt's mission of unleashing untapped creativity within our next generation of creators and artists. Noticing the recent pace of innovation, you could say that AI is the future metaphorically. And kids are quite literally our future. Kidgeni lives at the intersection and that's super cool! It's been such a joy watching Matt validate the idea for Kidgeni in public, take in feedback and inputs from Twitter and BIPF community, iterate relentlessly, and turn this great idea into an even greater product today. I played with the tool several times over the last few weeks and always left feeling like "woah, this is fun". I became a paid member recently too. I'm looking forward to so many sessions with the product with my son. You can let your kid draw, write stories and turn their art into tangible merch too (tshirts, hoodies etc.). My favorite new usecase is the "bedtime stories". That's where I first learned about Gary, the dog magician. That bedtime story was fun to read but didn't help with putting my son to bed .. on time. 🤣 Anyway, check out Kidgeni and feel free to share your reflections, ideas, suggestions and questions 💡🔥 Thanks again!

@aaron_kazah Hey Aaron, I imagine more kids will use kidgeni. As the community grows, I imagine we build out more community features where kids can read and view each others stories, art and more. I would also like to get us into text to video... The possibilities are endless!
Nevena Sofranic
It seems so fun & the story feature sounds amazing! What does “never ending stories” actually mean?
Matthew Lock
@nevena_sofranic Thanks for the support, Nevena! Never ending stories is a feature that gives kids the capabilities to expand on stories that they love... Where they can keep adding to it infinitely.

Congratulations Matt! My fellow nights and weekends s4 builder. Been following your journey building kidgeni. The site looks amazing and the story feature is 🔥 My kids love it. They are making their own bedtime story and I just have to read it to them. Love the art generator too! The quality is incredible

Jesse Link
I watch my nephews gravitate toward 'shiny screens' everyday. Simple combination of reality of the way they will live with the opportunity to not just tap into but to exponentionally expand their creativity makes me love this idea and this product. The next Walt Disney is somewhere ready to build their first stories on Kidgeni! Congrats @matthew_lock on so much success so far and way more to come!
Matthew Lock
@jesse_link Yes! Hopefully your nephews will get inspired and create stories and art with Kidgeni. Would love to see what crazy creative stuff they come up with. I'm so excited for the future generation!

Congrats on launch! I just tried to use this for my kids but I was faced with an error: Temporary error connecting to Stable - text to image (raw message: {"id":"eeac59d61a509c1eda09d65dae60fadc","message":"Exception iterating responses: 'Model `ViT-L-14--openai` not available, required for guidance preset `GUIDANCE_PRESET_FAST_BLUE`'","name":"server_error"} )
Matthew Lock
@phillip_p hmm Thanks for taking it for a spin. It might have been an issue with the prompt. Did you try it again? I can also look into to see if I uncover anything.
Matthew Lock
@phillip_p Glad it worked
Benjamin Mateev
Oh, this looks awesome, will definitely try it out with my niece next time I see her and I hope we can come up with some fun ideas together!
Matthew Lock
@benjaminmateev Yeah, please do. Would love to get her feedback. Kidgeni also works in German :D
Evan Herchek
This is such an interesting take on generative AI. I love that it's not just another online tool and can be used to create an actual product.
Matthew Lock
@evanwherchek Yeah, we've heard from a lot of parents + kids that they love seeing what they've created. It makes it feel more "real"
Billy Pham
This project is really unique and innovative, and I think it has the potential to make a big impact on the world. I'm especially excited about the way it empowers kids to use AI.
Matthew Lock
@b_pham That is the hope. By getting more kids a base line understanding of Ai, I believe they'll have a leg up on the future once they understand it's capabilities.
Anushka Varshney
This is so cool, I am gonna show this to my small nephew, he loves drawing and art, I am surer he is going to love this.
Matthew Lock
@anushka_varshney Sweet! I can't wait. He'll love our Paintgeni feature, which can take his drawings and flip them with Ai!
Dipika Gohil
For kids, Kidgeni can be a great way to engage in exciting and enriching activities rather than watching videos on phones. I loved the CTA, abracadabra! Congratulations on the launch.
Matthew Lock
@dipika_gohil Thank you! I agree, it's really cool to see kids iterate through prompting.
