About Story Maker
Story Maker appears on its homepage as DreamTales, an AI service for personalized bedtime stories. A parent adds a child's name, age and interests, describes what the child did today and can upload family photos for extra personalization. The AI then writes a story that weaves in those real-life adventures, with warm watercolor-style illustrations for each scene.
Stories are played with soothing voice narration chosen from a set of voices so a child can drift off while listening. Eight story types are offered, from fantasy and adventure to space, nature, friendship and lullabies, plus fairy tales and animal friends, and content is arranged by age group, from toddlers aged 2 to 4 to big kids aged 8 to 10. A story gallery, child profiles for several children, a pricing page and a free start are linked from the site.
