気になるジャンルと3つの言葉を入れるだけ。あとはAIが、物語を紡ぎます。 「帰り道」「赤い傘」「足音」―― 思いついた3つの言葉を入力して、ボタンをひとつ。 その3語から、二つとない短い物語が生まれます。 どんな言葉を選ぶかはあなた次第。 同じ3語でも、生成するたびに違う物語になります。 ■ 5つのジャンルから選べる ・ホラー … 静かに忍び寄る、怖い話 ・ざまぁ … 理不尽をひっくり返す、痛快な逆転劇 ・異世界 … 剣と魔法、あるいは少し不思議な世界の物語 ・恋愛 … 心が動く、あまい一話 ・悪役令嬢 … 華やかな宮廷と、令嬢たちの物語 ファンタジーのオン/オフで、世界観の切り替えもできます。 ■ お話帳にずっと残る 生まれた物語は「お話帳」に自動で保存。 あとからいつでも読み返せます。 ■ 気に入った一話は、シェアできる 物語を1枚の画像カードにして、SNSなどで友だちと共有。 ■ こんな時間に ・通勤や通学のスキマ時間に ・寝る前のひとときに ・創作のきっかけ探しに ・ちょっとした暇つぶしに さあ、あなたの3つの言葉から、どんな物語が生まれるでしょうか。 ――― ※ 物語はAIが自動生成したフィクションです。実在の人物・団体・出来事とは関係ありません。 ※ アカウント登録は不要です。
