Budding turns a spoken or typed idea into an illustrated storybook families can make together. Start with a visual Story Helper, choose an illustration style, and describe what happens one page at a time. Budding keeps the pages together so the finished book can be read, heard, revisited, and shared by choice. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Say or type what happens on each page • Use visual Story Helper prompts when an idea needs a nudge • Choose from 50+ illustration styles • Build a storybook page by page • Read the finished book in a focused page-turning view • Listen to prepared narration • Export or share a storybook from the adult-owned account • Open three included demo books right away MADE FOR FAMILY CREATIVITY • The storyteller makes the characters, choices, surprises, and ending • Books are private by default • There is no advertising or social feed • Email sign-in belongs to the adult account owner • Account data can be exported, and account deletion can be started inside the app AI services help create illustrations, transcribe recordings, offer Story Helper guidance, and prepare narration. Budding requires an internet connection for sign-in and creation features. Generated results can vary, and the adult account owner should review story content before sharing it.
