Hey everyone, I’d really appreciate your honest thoughts on this. I’m trying to understand more about how parents and kids connect and how I can improve that experience.
I’m building a storytelling app where bedtime stories are personalised to your child’s name and interests using AI, so they become the main character in every adventure.
The idea is that you can create stories from almost anything your child loves or imagines, like their favourite characters, themes, or even fun mashups like a Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny crossover, or something like “Timmy in a chocolate space adventure”.
You can read the stories yourself as usual, or optionally choose to have them narrated in a voice your child recognises and loves. That could be a grandparent who lives far away, a parent who is travelling or away for work sometimes, or even a fun TV character your child loves!
To enable this, you record your voice once, and the app uses AI voice cloning to narrate future stories in that same voice.
The AI narration is completely optional and isn’t meant to replace real bedtime moments, but to add a bit of extra comfort and familiarity when distance gets in the way.
I’ve also designed it with children’s privacy and safety in mind, with strong protections around how voice recordings and data are handled.
Happy to share more details if anyone’s interested. The app name is WhisperTales and is available on both Android & iOS app stores. I would love your feedback if anyone would want to give this app a try.
