## What is Hikaya?

Every child deserves a story made just for them.

Hikaya is a bedtime story app that uses AI to write, illustrate, and narrate a brand-new story every night — personalized to your child's name, their favorite themes, and the world they love.

HOW IT WORKS

Type a theme — anything from "a kitten lost in an old market" to "a cloud that learns to drift slowly"
Hikaya writes a calm, magical bedtime story in seconds
A beautiful cover illustration is painted in a classic storybook style
A warm AI narrator reads the story aloud, ready for bedtime
MADE FOR BEDTIME

Every story is gentle, safe, and designed to help children wind down. No monsters, no cliffhangers — just warmth, wonder, and a soft ending that carries them to sleep.

PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR CHILD

• Add your child's name — the story opens by speaking to them
• Choose a main character name
• Pick an age range (3–5, 6–8, 9–10) to match the language to their level
• Select a narration style: classic storybook, gentle mystery, rich sensory, or playful

NARRATED IN THEIR LANGUAGE

Stories are written and narrated in English or Arabic — including Egyptian, Lebanese, Gulf, and Fusha dialects. Each one sounds natural, warm, and truly bedtime-ready.

BEAUTIFUL COVER ART

Every story comes with a unique AI-generated illustration in a warm, painterly storybook style — like a frame from a favorite bedtime movie.

STORY INSPIRATIONS

Draw storytelling warmth from worlds your child already loves — Bluey, Studio Ghibli, Disney, Pixar, Arabian Nights, and Peppa Pig.
