Google's Gemini can now create custom storybooks based on text, photos, or documents. Users can choose characters, settings, and art styles. It generates a 10-page illustrated story, complete with audio narration.
Google: In the ever-evolving world of technology, AI is constantly introducing new innovations. Google has now added a feature to its AI chatbot, Gemini, that elevates children's imagination and love for stories. With this new feature, users can now have Gemini create illustrated storybooks using just a text prompt or a photograph.
What is Gemini's Storybook Feature?
Gemini's storybook feature is a quality-of-life addition designed especially for young children. If you have a child at home who loves listening to stories before bed, this feature can open the door to a magical world for you. Gemini can now create storybooks up to 10 pages long, with an attractive illustration on one page and a part of the story on the other. Most importantly, you can even include art styles, character names, locations, and plot twists in your story.
Story Creation from Text, Photos, and Documents
According to Google, users can provide Gemini not only with text but also with uploaded photos or written story documents. The AI will then transform your story into an engaging storybook with beautiful illustrations.
Audio Narration Also Available
For children who prefer listening to stories rather than reading, this feature offers another convenience – audio narration. Although the narration currently sounds somewhat robotic and lacks human emotion, it is still a useful option.
Custom Characters and Personal Touch
The most unique aspect of the Gemini Storybook feature is that you can upload your photos and see yourself or your children as the main characters in the story. This makes it not only more fun to read for children but also easier to connect with the story.
Support for 45 Languages, Various Art Styles Available
Gemini's feature supports 45 languages. It also offers a choice of different art styles, such as:
- Pixel Art
- Comics
- Claymation
- Crochet
- Coloring Book Style
This means that you can give a new identity to your children's stories by choosing your favorite art style.
Educational Use Also Possible
Google believes that the use of this feature is not limited to entertainment. It can also be used as a teaching tool to explain complex concepts to young children. Teachers can use AI storybooks in their classrooms to teach students in interesting and visual ways.
How to Use It?
The Gemini Storybook feature is available to all users on both web and mobile app platforms. Users can get started by going to the chatbot and using a command like 'Create a Storybook'. Then, simply specify the age group for the story, the desired style, and any specific information related to the characters or plot, if desired.
