Based on your title and short description we will generate a unique children's story. You can personalize the characters in the book and it will contain matching illustrations. You can read the book or play it like an audiobook.
Hello PH, I am one of the makers of childbook.ai. We have built the initial MVP for a hackathon and since we actually liked the idea and received positive feedback we decided to polish it up and make it into a fully-fledged product.
The product uses quite a few paid APIs, which is why we have had to limit free books, but you can always review the existing library of books to see what you can expect.
Feel free to write to us if you encounter any issues or have any doubts or ideas about the app.
Our plans for the future (which one first will depend on your feedback):
- Making a video publishable to youtube for each book - this way you could stream directly to TV on any device
- Change the current preset of 8 pages per book to be customizable
- Better consistency for characters in illustrations
- Lector picker for the text to speech - so that children can choose their favourite voice
- Some rating so that you can publish your book and if others enjoy it you can gain some free generations.
- Language picker for multilanguage support (you can actually write the title and description in a non-English language and it will 90% of the time work, but it requires some polishing)
Something we are giving thought, but not actually pursuing right now, but maybe we should?
- Personalised images based on the photos of your child (think Lensa/AvatarAI)
- Printing physical books

@wojciech_jaszczak Congrats. Very refreshing to see a Childbook on PH with an AI spin. :)
Congrats on the launch, Klaudia and the whole Childbook AI team! This looks great for anyone to get up and running with Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing service! I can already imagine some real-life inspired children's books out there, best of luck to you all!
@arturork we plan to add integration with print on demand so that users could order their printed copy directly through our app with selection of layouts already prepared for you. And hopefully at some point, a marketplace to publish the books. But until then if someone wants to use our app to create a book for Amazon Direct Publishing that would be great to see.

@wojciech_jaszczak sounds like a great plan! I used Canva and tried KDP once, but creating the layout was a bit cumbersome. A click to print button that creates the KDP necessary layout
and front/back cover layout could be a great feature.
Congrats on the launch! As for other features, I think printing physical books should come more once you can get more than 8 pages. I think this would also be a great tool not only for parents, but also for authors writing children's books
Considering you're using multiple paid APIs, I'd recommend checking out evoke-app.com
We're getting other stable diffusion models soon that should make generating other art-styles easier for you. In addition, we're a good amount cheaper than other providers.
@richard_gao2 Hey thanks! We were thinking of making the books like a set of stories - so even if the story has 8 pages book itself could be longer. It's quite easy for us to make the stories 10-12 pages long, but after that the AI would need a lot of guidance and we are working through possible ways to avoid that hard limit. In the meantime, the 8 pages seemed like a middle point between the quality of the story and its length.
As for the paid APIs for stable diffusion, we have actually quite a cost-effective self-run solution, we would consider evoke-app if it offered models for dall-e-mega and/or Karlo, which are also open source models, but quite a bit bigger than typical SD model, so it's harder to find affordable API solution for those.
