The problem it solves

Bringing a child's drawing to life as a real animated story normally means hiring an animator or spending hours learning video software yourself. Most people with a great idea for a kids' story never get past the sketch.

Who it fits

Independent creators, educators, and storytellers making children's content.

How it works

  1. You upload a drawing of a character through a simple form
  2. AI identifies the character and writes a full story around it
  3. Matching scene images are generated to keep the character consistent
  4. AI generates video and narration for each scene
  5. The finished video is assembled and published automatically to YouTube
What you get

Stories your kids see themselves star in

Your child's drawing turns into a narrated animated video and gets published straight to YouTube for them to watch.

What you get

A complete narrated animated video, published automatically to YouTube.

What you need

Accounts with Anthropic, an image generation service, a video generation service, ElevenLabs, and Blotato for publishing.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
