Hello Daniel!

We've been working on a platform/tool for this since September. And it's live in Alpha right now, https://bedtimestory.ai

We are working on a lot of feature requests and improvements at the moment, and distribution. Text, Audio and Video being the primary use-cases.

Making stories 100% editable and upload your own images is also in the works.

We are working on "Magic Images" that will allow you to insert yourself or your kids into the stories as stylised characters in your style of choice https://twitter.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1603536335884750848

We are also working on Magic Talking Cards, Video audio of the story character telling the story from their perspective https://twitter.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1603276364550807552

In our library there are over 10.000 stories https://bedtimestory.ai/library

We are looking for people to keep giving us feedback and help us push the boundaries on whats possible.

Did I miss it somewhere or you don't actually make physical copies for these? I would love that; I know the perfect people to gift that subscription to. Let them generate a few stories and maybe once per month select a book to get printed and delivered. This is a genuinely exciting product.

[linusekenstam]

We are working on print as an option, so you can make a collection and each month you get physical books at your doorstep!

Thank you! follow us on twitter to stay up to date, https://twitter.com/bedtimestoryAI

I would be interested in this too. This would be a really cool gift for my newborn daughter.

Very cool and great start!

I tried it and I wonder how I could generate more images. I made a story and only had one image.

I would also love to print it out as a book (don't see myself reading a book to a kid on a laptop / tablet) and that every page would have an image. Would also be good if I could define which content should be represented as an image.

Keep up the great work!

[linusekenstam]

Hey!

free stories only offers 1 image, and paid accounts you'll get 5 images per story. We are working on full Edit an upload images capabilites. https://twitter.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1617997909508902913

Paid accounts can also re-generate images using their own prompts for images.

So we are working on distribution, printed books, e-books, audio and video. It's all coming in the next few weeks.

Thank you for the kind comment!

This is really awesome. I sent it off to my wife to check out for the little ones. Good luck on this - I think you're going to have a lot of success here. Time to disrupt the publishing industry!

[linusekenstam]

Thank you so much for this.

To be clear, Bedtimestories is just the beginning, its an easy target, and easy to market. Our mission is a lot bigger, we want to become "the narrative company" and are building the tools to make that happen.

Excited, and hope to have you and the wife and kids along for the ride!

This is insane, I'm working on a very similar tool but for a specific language. Congrats on the launch and it looks awesome!

[linusekenstam]

Hey! that cool, actually, Bedtimestory.ai works in ANY language, just write the prompt in the language you want, and the story will get generated in that language, PURE magic.

We have not built out the full search, filter and categories for the library yet, but we have stories in +100 different languages.

Super excited to be sharing more in the next few months.

I assume the image gen works on SD and not midjourney as they don't have an api i believe?

[linusekenstam]

We've built a few adapters and the layer between us and the model(s) makes it easy to swap out or support multiple.

Currently we are running 100% on OpenAI, GPT3 & Dalle2, but we have tried some (unofficial MJ solutions) and our own trained SD models. We are working on a feature we call "magic photos" that essentially allows you to upload a set of images of a human, train your own model, and use that in as many stories as you want, you can then create unlimited variations of that character in different situations.

Here are some early versions of that. My daughter as a scientist, in her sci-fi lab. She is created on SD using around 12 images for training, hosting the model ~5gb directly on S3. Then we just use GPU provider pay-per-use to generate the images based on prompts. https://twitter.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1617675627695583232...

Very nice product, well done. What’s your gtm strategy if I may ask

[linusekenstam]

There is a bit of all, content, publishers and self-served.

We already have +10.000 registered users (most signed up in the past 30 days)

About 20.000 stories are generated and some 50.000 images

We are releasing about 2000 books on Amazon with 10 stories per book, and pay royalties back to the creators of each story.

So there will be a lot of noise, essentially we are taking on the big fish.

pretty cool!
