Genesis

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm thrilled to share Genesis with you all today! As a storyteller and educator, I was frustrated watching talented creators struggle with expensive design tools and generic AI outputs. I saw parents wanting to create personalized bedtime stories, teachers needing culturally relevant educational content, and indie authors dreaming of illustrated books, all held back by technical barriers and costs. I knew there had to be a better way. Creating professional illustrated books required juggling multiple tools: writers for text, designers for visuals, psychologists for character development, and layout software for formatting. Each step meant hiring specialists or learning complex software. The result? Most ideas never left the drawing board. I wanted to democratize book creation entirely. We built Genesis around three core principles: Psychology-first characters - Real people are complex, so we integrated the OCEAN personality model. Your characters aren't just "the hero" they have fears, flaws, attachment styles, and behavioral patterns that inform every scene. Visual storytelling innovation - Our Story Map lets you see your entire narrative journey at a glance. No more lost plot threads or pacing issues. Plus, our style alchemy system lets you blend art styles (70% watercolor + 30% manga) Accessibility without compromise - Professional features shouldn't require a PhD. We made advanced tools intuitive while keeping enterprise-grade export options, real-time collaboration, and adaptive learning content. Building this taught me that the best AI tools don't replace creativity, they amplify it. Every feature went through real user testing with authors, teachers, and brand managers. Their feedback shaped everything from our emerald-and-slate color palette (no overwhelming purple!) to keyboard shortcuts in Story Map. We're incredibly proud of where Genesis is today, but this is just the beginning. We're exploring voice narration, community template sharing, and even AR book experiences. I'd love to hear your thoughts! What would you create with Genesis? If there's features you'd love to see let's chat in the comments!
