What are Illustrated Stories?
Illustrated Stories turn book scenes into AI-generated comic-style panels (bandes dessinées). Each panel includes an illustration and the scene text, creating a visual narrative of the book.
How to Create a Story
- Open the AI Chat in the reader.
- Ask the chatbot to illustrate a scene — for example: "Illustrate the scene where the protagonist arrives at the castle."
- The AI generates a comics-style illustration using Google Gemini image generation.
- Multiple scenes can be combined into a full illustrated story.
Storybook Viewer
Illustrated stories have their own viewer with panel-by-panel navigation, TTS narration for each panel, and a cinematic reading experience.
Sharing Stories
Each illustrated story gets a unique shareable link. You can share it with friends — they can view the story even without an account.
Note on Poetry Books
For poetry books, illustrations focus on mood, atmosphere, and symbolism rather than literal scene depictions — similar to how illustrated poetry editions work in traditional publishing.
