Startups can use AI/ML to gain a competitive edge, but this requires a clear understanding of how these technologies align with their business goals.


We stand with a cause :D https://lightrains.com/404


We're excited to announce our new contest where you have the chance to win an Amazon Kindle!


I like the overall structure of the story and the tilt effect on the logo.


Every time I hear “Google pays” it makes me feel good.


Nice :D


I like it. IMO, that would need more screen time which is not something we want. However this could be a great activity for small kids in school.


We have plans to launch this as a free downloadable pdf every week/month and option to purchase a printed version if interested


Thanks for the enthusiasm. With all due respect, this experiment is not to solve the problem of AI in general, I am hoping this would help parents/teachers to spend quality time with children.


Do you observe a gap in children's literature that needs to be filled by synthetically generated stories?

Edit, just realized it is a payed service with "third-party advertisers".

Perfect for unengaged parents.


Here are two issues I have experienced that I feel generated content could help with:

1) My wife and I have different native languages, and we want to teach our children both. A big issue we have is that we can only get books in one of those languages where we live, so whenever we travel to see family we always come back with a suitcase full of books, but we have less books than we would like.

2) My children ask "how does this work" and a book would be a great way to teach them. If it's something I don't know we turn to YouTube, but the quality of that is often lacking and not aimed at children (they are under 5). Example: I was asked why cars get holes when they get old.


Thanks for sharing an angle I didn't consider.

Responsibility of parents aside, I think it boils down to awailability vs. quality.

Two analogies capture this tradeoff

* Junk food to food

* Stable diffusion to art


Can it retain any stories so if the kid wants to hear it again later, that's an option?


Yes. You can create an account and you will get all the stories you generated for you forever.

For now take a look at this one if you will. https://storybee.app/story/the-flowing-blue-river-654f92cb3d...


I am not a lawyer, but I would be careful with saying “you will get… forever” on a public forum as a representative of your company. That doesn’t seem to be what your site terms specify:

What's the Privacy Policy in non-lawyerly terms ;)


We want to make things as simple as possible for our users to understand not googlish or facebookish :D


Do "you" get them forever too? Like do we have a little buddy in you to help us share knowledge and control over such content?


the whole point of children's stories is to give them some kind of moral or lesson. Unless the kid's really young, in which case it's just to teach them the language. What is machine wordmash going to do besides make brainrot worse?


Interesting, something similar to what I have in mind.
