Products that do what Custom illustrated kids' book, generated and printed (StoryStarling) does
Hi HN, I built StoryStarling. You describe a story idea and it generates a complete illustrated children's book, then prints and ships it. Every story, character, and illustration is generated from scratch, not a template with a name swapped in. Most books are about a new character your child can identify with: a raccoon starting kindergarten, a knight rescuing the Internet Connection, a superhero with an insulin pump. You can upload a photo and the system will convert your child into the chosen illustration style as a character, but more often it's the story itself that makes it personal. A…

Two of my friends recently welcomed their first child and I "wrote" a kid's book for them using ChatGPT for the story and Midjourney for illustrations. The plot was sourced from a group of friends.

Hey HN, I want to share a personal project: I made a tiny pen-plotted book for my wife. I did everything myself—drawings (with some help from Midjourney), plotting, cutting, and binding. I even used a 3D printer to make a helper tool. It's absolutely over-engineered, but I enjoyed it a lot. Multi-disciplinary projects, especially those with a physical output, are a lot of fun for me. The post covers the process in detail, but if you're interested in anything specific, let me know. Cheers!

Hey together with wife we took part in AssemblyAI hackathon and although we didn't win we felt good enough about our inital MVP that we took it a bit further. You can describe your characters and give a title and however long/detailed description you want, the gpt-3 will generate a children's story from it, dall-e will generate images. Images are postprocessed with stable-diffusion custom model (for stylisation) and that's the final result. It's still early as it was done in about 2 weeks, but I count on your feedback. I am software engineer and did basically all of the engineering work…
