Would love to see character consistency across pages, like being able to lock in a character's look once and have it stay consistent through every illustration. Right now generating a full book sounds magical but if the protagonist changes outfits or faces between pages it would break the story.
@ethem_topr36430 that’s exactly what we have solved for! Our characters are consistent along with scene and style. Sometimes AI does hallucinate , but you can regenerate the image and it fixes the issue. Give it a try! Thanks
@ethem_topr36430 our stories should definitely have character and image consistency. Please feel free to upload an image and I can help you with anything you might be seeing!

How much control do you actually have over the illustrations after generation, like can I edit specific parts of an image or just regenerate the whole thing if a detail is off?
@sleymantalnkyt once a book is generated, we allow for 10 image re-generations which can cover broad changes or minute details to really make the story yours!
@sleymantalnkyt you can regenerate the entire image or have a character change expression etc. our customers love the ability to edit and get it just right!
curious about the discovery side more than the generation side - once anyone can spin up a book with AlsonAI and list it, what keeps the marketplace from filling up with low-effort books that just happen to match a lot of chat keywords? does the chat ranking weight anything like completion rate or reviews, or is it mostly semantic match on the description right now
@galdayan great question. Alson Shop is only for books created using AlsonAI , which doesn’t let for low effort books to come through; user has to pay $24.99 to get a book completely generated and published, and that if not the pride of one’s name attached to work acts as a barrier.
the chat-based discovery angle is a nice fit for books specifically, feels closer to asking a bookseller for a recommendation than filtering by genre tags. curious about the catalog side though - at launch is it mostly seeded by early creators publishing through AlsonAI, or did you pre-populate it yourselves so it doesn't feel empty on day one? and do authors get the same royalty split here as on the core AlsonAI product, or is the marketplace listing a separate cut
@omri_ben_shoham1 it’s all populated with books created using AlsonAI. The marketplace is only for books created on AlsonAI. It’s meant to help our authors’ work be discoverable outside of Amazon and Lulu
would love a "character consistency" option so the same character looks the same across every page, right now mine keeps shifting outfits and faces between illustrations and it breaks the flow of the story
@yldz1742642 we have character consistency and outfit changes happen mostly if the story requires. I looked through the backend and don’t see a story where each image is different outfit but feel free to share specifics that I can look into! Thanks
Generated a short storybook for my niece in about ten minutes and the art styles actually look distinct from each other, not just slight filter tweaks.
@mcahit321044 can you share the title? I don’t see in the backend something matching your description so want to double check. Thanks
