Products that do what My friend's son thought he was Peter Pan, so I built him an app does
My buddy's kid, Francisco, is obsessed with Peter Pan. It's adorable, but it got me thinking... what if Francisco could actually see himself in Neverland? This gave me the idea to build an app that could take any child's photo and drop them right into their favorite storybook. After a year and the magic of Stable Diffusion (thanks, ComfyUI!), MyStorybook was born. Here's how it works: 1. Choose a story: We have a library of engaging children's stories, including classics like Peter Pan. 2. Upload a photo: I uploaded a photo of Francisco, and our AI seamlessly integrated him into the story's…

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 used to spend hours drawing all kind of things as a kid. Sadly though, those drawings are long gone. Inspired by this, I created DoodleDreams. A webapp that brings drawings to life using AI and stores them as memories. You can always look back at the drawings, see who made them, and even know the age they were drawn at. I thought it was a fun way to preserve those memories. What do you think? Viktor

Hi! I have a 3-yo child that loves bedtime stories and I built an app for him that has evolved a lot during the last 5 months. The main features are: - Personalised stories with your own character names, topics (emojis) and moral - Interactive mode, which is like the "Choose your own adventure" books I used to read in the 80s - Image generation (DALL-e 3) - Text-to-speech (Google TTS) - Supports 5 languages: EN, ES, PT, FR, NO I'd love to see some feedback about the app functionality and how to find a suitable business model (that covers API expenses). Thanks in advance!

This was a project I built for my daughter's first birthday present. For context, I'm a surgical resident in the UK by background and am currently taking a year out of training to study a masters in computer science. My daughter just turned one. There are two things she really loves: the first is particular soft toy that she just can't live without, and the other is a good story book. Her grandparents live hours away and I didn't want her to forget what they sound like between visits. I wanted her to hear them whenever she missed them. My parents brought my brother and I up with incredible…

Ever wanted to create your own picture book? Introducing Mr. Seuss! Just input images of your protagonist and a basic storyline and he'll produce a (funny but weird) picture book for you using AI. The linked colab uses GPT-J to generate a story and Dreambooth Stable Diffusion to generate relevant pictures to the story. It's completely free and takes around 30 minutes to run on the free tier of colab. Let me know what you think in the comments! So excited to see what's possible for storytelling using AI.

I built this ReactJS/Ruby on Rails single page web app out of personal need. My son wanted a book like “Curious George” but I didn’t have a good way to find one. The tool allows you to flip through pages of books for online previews.

I wanted to share a few AI related things I've made for my kids (ages 2 and 4). It's mind blowing that the tech didn't exist in a useful state a year ago and now I end up using it almost daily. 1. Story creator app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/custom-ai-stories/id1669159225 - iphone app to create and read stories. This uses the openAI API and Amazon Polly (text to speech). Icon generated by Midjourney. Recently the stories have been taking a bit longer than the estimate to generate, I think due to increased openAI API usage 2. Belle uses the potty book -…

Hello HN, I'm excited to share a project my co-founder and I have been working on - TaleBot. What It Does: TaleBot creates a personalized bedtime story based on parent/caregiver's inputs. You can customize the theme, the challenges (kid-friendly obstacles) the characters face, and even the moral lesson it teaches. Once the story is ready, you'll receive a PDF file, and an AI narrated voiceover of it. Try It Out: We've made it as barrier-free as possible for you to test. Use the promo code HNFREETALE on our story creation form, and you can get a story written for free, no sign-ups…

After reading gwern’s post two days ago about LLM Daydreaming [0], I wanted to just see how it would behave. I grabbed the top vital article titles from wikipedia [1] and made a simple next js app to try the prompt in a loop. It was pretty interesting to see the connections made between concepts. Happy to host this if people find it useful! [0] https://gwern.net/ai-daydreaming [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vital_articles
