About StoryMine

StoryMine generates watercolor picture books featuring a child as the main character across all pages. Users upload a single photo which is used to create a consistent illustrated character throughout the 12-page story. The tool offers two catalog storyteller voices—Warm or Calm—to read the text aloud. After previewing the first three pages for free, users can purchase the full digital book including the PDF and audio narration for $19. The process takes about five minutes from upload to completion. Photos are deleted after use and never retained or used to train AI models. Each book is manually proofed by humans before delivery. The service focuses on creating keepsake gifts for occasions like birthdays, holidays, or welcoming a new sibling.

Frequently asked questions about StoryMine

Is it really my child on every page?

Yes. StoryMine locks your child's face from a single reference photo so the same character appears consistently across all 12 pages, rather than a different-looking child on each page.

Can I choose how the book is read aloud?

Yes. After unlocking the digital book, you can pick a catalog storyteller voice—either Warm or Calm—from existing narrators. Parent-voice cloning is not available yet.

What happens to my child's photo?

Your uploaded photo is used only to create your book and is deleted after the book is generated. It is never retained or used to train AI models.

What do I get, and how much does it cost?

You can preview the first 3 pages for free. The full digital book, including all 12 pages in PDF format and audio narration, is available for purchase.

How long does it take to create a book?

Most books are ready to preview in about five minutes. You can then download the PDF and generate narration page by page.

What illustration styles are available?

Watercolor is available now. Additional styles, such as 3D cartoon, crayon, Japanese, vintage fairytale, and soft bedtime, are planned for future releases.
