GoKawiilMeta has quietly released a new iPhone app that uses AI to create personalized children’s stories, complete with illustrations, narration, and original music.
The app is called StoryKit: personalized stories. It’s seemingly an experimental app as it’s currently available through the App Store in Mexico but not the U.S.
The limited availability suggests Meta is testing the concept regionally before deciding whether to launch it more broadly.
StoryKit promises to generate a complete story from three choices.
Users create or photograph a character, choose a setting such as an enchanted forest or distant galaxy, and select a lesson involving values like kindness, courage, or empathy.
Meta says StoryKit can then produce the story in several formats:
Picture Book — swipe through illustrated pages with narration and a musical score
— swipe through illustrated pages with narration and a musical score Audiobook — hands-free, screen-free listening for the car, bath time, or before sleep
— hands-free, screen-free listening for the car, bath time, or before sleep Read aloud — the full text on your phone so you can be the storyteller
— the full text on your phone so you can be the storyteller Printable PDF — a physical keepsake they can scribble on, sleep with, and show their friends
