Idea type: Freemium

People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.

Should You Build It?

Build but think about differentiation and monetization.

Your are here

Creating an AI-powered app for generating bedtime stories for kids puts you in a competitive but potentially rewarding space. There are at least 30 similar products on the market, which validates the interest in this area. The engagement around these products is medium, indicating people are curious and actively exploring these solutions. However, because the market is crowded, differentiation is key. As a freemium product, the challenge will be convincing users to pay for premium features in a space where several free options already exist. You'll need to focus on what makes your app uniquely valuable and who exactly will be willing to pay for it. Building the app makes sense, but consider monetization strategies and how to stand out.

Recommendations

  1. Since you are in the Freemium category, focus on identifying which user segments get the most value from the free version of your AI bedtime story app. Are they parents who need a quick story, or educators looking for themed tales? Understanding this will help you tailor premium offerings.
  2. Develop premium features that cater specifically to these high-value users. Consider offering advanced customization options (e.g., specific moral lessons, personalized character appearances, or complex plot lines) as premium features. User feedback from similar products suggests that features like ASMR voice options, background music, and integration with devices like Yoto could be strong differentiators. Address the concerns about character consistency and advanced vocabulary that other similar apps have faced.
  3. Explore the possibility of charging teams, such as preschools or daycare centers, rather than individual users. These institutions could benefit from a library of AI-generated stories and be willing to pay for commercial use licenses and additional features like collaborative story creation.
  4. Offer personalized help or consulting services related to storytelling. This could include workshops for parents on creating engaging stories or custom story creation services for special occasions. This helps in increasing the perceived value of the premium version and drives conversions.
  5. Before a wide launch, test different pricing approaches and feature sets with small groups of users. This allows you to gather valuable feedback and refine your monetization strategy before committing to a particular model. For example, test a subscription versus a pay-per-story model to determine which resonates better with your audience.
  6. Based on criticisms of existing apps, prioritize a user-friendly design, especially for children. Address potential UI issues on mobile devices and ensure site accessibility. Pay attention to image consistency and avoid blurry or 'nightmarish' AI-generated illustrations.
  7. Given the potential privacy concerns around AI-generated content, be transparent about how user data is handled and ensure compliance with child privacy regulations. Address the API key exposure issue that some similar apps have faced to build trust with parents.
  8. Think about additional delivery formats beyond the app itself. Many users have requested book formats for the stories. Consider offering print-on-demand options or partnerships with children's book publishers.

Questions

  1. Given the criticisms of existing apps for using overly complex vocabulary, how will you ensure your app creates stories that are appropriately tailored to different age groups, and can the vocabulary be adjusted based on the target age range?
  2. How will you balance the desire for personalization (character creation, moral lessons) with the risk of generating generic or 'formulaic' stories, as seen in the criticisms of similar apps?
  3. With numerous competitors in the AI bedtime story space, what is your unique selling proposition beyond simply generating stories? How will you build a brand that resonates with parents and stands out from the crowd, especially given that positive buy signals for similar products are rare?

Sleepytales - Have AI read and write personalized bedtime stories

06 Jun 2024 Artificial Intelligence Kids & Parenting Kids

AI app that reads and writes personalized bedtime stories for children and adults. Customize each story with names, favorite characters, and themes. Enjoy lifelike narration by realistic voice actors, making every story a unique and immersive experience.

Sleepytales' Product Hunt launch received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising the personalized bedtime story concept and its potential to excite children about bedtime. Many congratulated the team and expressed excitement to try it, sharing it with friends and family. Users inquired about story length, customization (themes, genres, personalization), language options, and age tailoring. Suggestions included demo videos with better audio, ASMR voice options, background music, and integration with devices like Yoto. Some raised concerns about privacy and API key exposure, alongside requests for book formats and mobile compatibility.

Users criticized the lack of sound in the demo video and suggested a warmer, less upbeat voiceover. Many wanted more product information on the landing page before signup. There were also concerns about the app's usability for children and privacy/security issues related to API key exposure. Some users experienced audio glitches, and others found the story boring. The demand for a mobile app and the option to have stories in book format were also mentioned. Calming background music was suggested to enhance the stories.

dzaitzow

@dwang3142 Love this - how long can can these stories be - is there a character limit? and can they build upon one another? Ie: If i wanted to build to a resolution for a listener (maybe to get to a moral outcome over a few nights sleep) would that be feasible?

namrata_arya

This is so amazing! I'm going to try this out for myself :D Also shared it with a friend who's a parent :) All the best!

priyankamandal

Congratulations on the launch 👏 seems like very helpful. Excited to use this tool.

andrei_costea2

Oh my! Been trying to find good bedtime stories to play while I'm falling asleep (yeah, I do listen to that), but never found something that ticks all the boxes. Now I can create my own with this tool. Thanks! And good luck on your launch 🍀

jennyzhou

Wow, this is a great scenario for AI to serve life. I want to try it and let it tell me a bedtime story.

nicole_ideabuddy

Congratulations on your launch. That's really cool! I can't wait to try it when my little cousins visit. Now I can finally tell them some good stories they haven't heard before! 😃

novie_dizon

Congratulations on your launch! Sleepytales is fantastic! The creative storytelling tools are amazing, and I love being able to personalize stories for both kids and adults – that versatility is brilliant! A mobile app would be incredibly handy, though. It would be a game-changer, making it even easier to create stories on the go, especially for those quick moments of inspiration. Can't wait to see what the future holds for Sleepytales!

yernar_a

that is a good idea :) the voiceover may be a bit warmer in tone - I might actually listen to it intead of doomscrolling before falling asleep :) Keep iterating, you might as well take on Calm in this niche.

reza_madad

It's a brilliant idea! Congrats on your launch. I really like the concept of personalization part of it especially for adults. For someone reasons, the demo didn't play with sound for me. I recommend considering ASMR-like type of the voice if you haven't. As future features in the roadmap, you can address the pain point of stopping the playback when kids/adults are going to deep stage (it needs some sensors though).

aishwarya_singhal

This looks fantastic! I'm definitely going to try it out myself Plus, I've shared it with my team. Wishing you all the best!

deleted-4393385

This will help me put my kids to bed haha

josefbrown

Just started using this for bedtime, and it's been an absolute hit with my kids. The stories are so personalized that my little ones are excited to go to bed each night. Highly recommended for any parent.

walter_musgrave

My kids loved it (5 and 6) - we had a great time brainstorming and generating stories! Amazing job Dennis!

brian_tsao

Congrats on the launch! Excited to use this.

c_fay

I like this space a lot. There's definitely something about sleep videos/audios. I'm a big guided meditation guy, but I'll give this a shot at some point!

sansa_grey

Congratulations on your launch, Sleepytales sounds amazing, I loved it, and I believe my niece will love it too.

dayem_saeed

This honestly looks super cool! I can't wait to give it a shot and play with the customization options. I'll be looking forward to when you guys add memory I can use to build stories on top of!

burakozt

Congrats on the launch! This is really cool. I'm about to become a parent, so I'm definitely going to circle back on this :)

deziraefreeman

This is such a cool product!! I saw in previous comments that you'll adding in genre/theme customization this week! Can't wait for that!

Choose-your-own-adventure bedtime stories by AI

27 Dec 2023 Kids

Hi! I have a 3-yo child that loves bedtime stories and I built an app for him that has evolved a lot during the last 5 months.The main features are: - Personalised stories with your own character names, topics (emojis) and moral - Interactive mode, which is like the "Choose your own adventure" books I used to read in the 80s - Image generation (DALL-e 3) - Text-to-speech (Google TTS) - Supports 5 languages: EN, ES, PT, FR, NOI'd love to see some feedback about the app functionality and how to find a suitable business model (that covers API expenses).Thanks in advance!

A user questions the necessity of GPT-4-turbo and expresses a preference for GPT-3.5-turbo-1106. Other comments are either dead or contain no content.

Users believe that GPT-4-turbo is unnecessary and that GPT-3.5-turbo-1106 is a better option.

Tonight's Bedtime Story – AI generated stories with images and audio

30 Dec 2023 Artificial Intelligence

Hey HN - sharing out my holiday hacking project.Tonight's Bedtime Story uses the OpenAI API to generate a bedtime story based on a prompt (or you can just say "tell me a story"). It also generates an image prompt and uses that to create a cover image with dalle-3 then turns the text of the story into audio for easy playback. It's been interesting to see how well this does (as well as some of its limitations).Heres one of my favorite stories it has generated so far: <https://bedtime-ai.nokk.io/stories/2Zek3PtK4SoQaHO1edZDPuQnh...>The project is built on Nokkio[0], a full-stack React framework, and the code is available on GitHub[1].Hope you like it, suggestions welcome![0] https://www.nokk.io[1] https://github.com/bradleyboy/bedtime-ai

Users appreciate the open-source nature of the project and share similar project links. There is also curiosity about whether children enjoy the stories.

Oscar personal bedtime stories - Personalized AI bedtime story generator for children

09 Apr 2023 iOS Android Parenting

The story app that turns bedtime into a magical experience for children. Your child becomes the star of their own personalized story, where they can choose to be one of many different character types and include loved ones like parents and friends.

The Product Hunt launch of the Oscar app received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Users praised its unique AI-driven personalized bedtime stories, child-friendly design, engaging narratives, and educational value. Many congratulated the team on the launch, highlighting the app's potential for parents and children alike. The app's cute characters, magical experience, and ease of use were frequently mentioned. Some users inquired about language availability and suggested age-based vocabulary adjustments. Several users expressed excitement to try the app with their kids and create unique stories.

Users criticized the product for having too much friction when creating children's stories using ChatGPT. There were concerns about character consistency in the generated images. Additionally, the vocabulary used in the stories was considered too advanced for young children, specifically those aged 4-5.

deleted-4908187

Huge congratulations on your launch! I’ve tried Oscar with my little boys and they LOVED it. Such great stories and amazing characters - it helps that they are super cute.

maxwellcdavis

Looking forward to giving this a go! Congrats on the Launch 🚀

malkielfalcone

Wow, that looks interesting! I will try to use your app tonight to put my son to bed. Good luck with the launch!

arvindh_sundar

I found Matt & Dima while I was lurking on Twitter - and boy! They've made the app I always wanted. I'm a storyteller at heart - I'm the Dungeon Master for my home game for the past 3-4 years and I love telling stories. But, when I had to tell stories to my li'l girl, I was stuck. I did muck about with ChatGPT to make something, but there was too much friction. I bit the bullet and tried out Oscar and within seconds, it gave me a solid story that I could read out to my baby girl. In fact, the story was so good, that my baby girl - who I called 'my little goblin', declared herself to be 'the li'l witch'. Stories are powerful. With Oscar, they are easy too. Good luck Matt & Dima!

synim

Absolutely love the concept and Oscar's stories! Great app; what kids, I'm loving reading the stories myself hahah. Kudos to your work @dima_rubanov , @mnewme and team!

jurgen_polzl

Greatest App for Kids & Fun. We enjoy it every night, as we create our own unique stories!! Love it!

pranay_khariwal

Concept sounds exciting !! Shall give it a try :)

_dgut

Oscar is a well designed story telling app for kids with cute characters as protagonists. My 7y old approves of it.

imi56

@dima_rubanov Nice concept, I would love if this could be made available to multi language.

jvannistelrooy

I use this app and it’s truly wonderful. Great to see it on product hunt!

aghhelmut

I don’t have children yet, but I’ve been using Oscar for a while just for fun and its’s truly an amazing product! 😀🚀

mohammad_elzahaby

That is a really cool product! I have always dreamed of something like that!

guilin_yang

This idea is very good. There is no doubt that children love bedtime stories. Who would refuse a wonderful story in which they are the protagonist?

layla_jacks0n

Your app sounds like a great solution for busy parents who want to make bedtime special for their kids. I love the fact that the stories are personalized and educational. I can't wait to give it a try!

I outsourced my child's bedtime stories to AI (Don't Judge Me)

01 Jul 2024 Parenting Artificial Intelligence Education Kids

Hey folks,I made this app for my child and nephews, they really enjoy it and I thought some of you might find it useful.It started because I was struggling with bedtime stories for my kid. You know how it is, fried brain after 8 hours work, complete lack of imagination, and there I am repeating the same horrible story over and over again.In the app, you specify a few things like your kids age, a plot, characters and a place, if there's a message you would like to convey (sometimes i've no idea how to touch certain topics) and it will generate a story with images and optional narration based on those parameters.I've been dogfooding it for a couple months now, and it's been pretty helpful and engaging. Thought maybe other tired parents out there might want to give it a shot too.It's not perfect, and it's definitely not meant to replace actual parenting. Just a little assist when imagination runs out.If you're curious, feel free to check it out. I'd love your feedback and if you have any thoughts on how to make it better, let me know!Thanks for taking a look!

We value your thoughts and input on our product and idea.

Users express concerns about AI's rapid advancement and its impact on industries, criticize the quality of content on platforms like YouTube Kids, and find the trial process for the product unclear and misleading. There's a desire for more upfront information and concerns about potential issues. Some users appreciate the unique experience of print for children, suggest different monetization strategies, and are interested in AI-generated illustrations. Others share experiences using AI for storytelling and reference the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer as a reality. Quality of human-written children's books and the content's impact on children are also discussed.

Users have expressed concerns about ethical issues and job displacement. Criticisms include the poor quality of children's books, vapid content on YouTube Kids, and a trial that requires payment but is unclear. The product/service is not obvious on mobile and feels misleading, with potential issues not specified. The current monetization strategy is criticized for lacking mass market appeal, and some users find the product/service horrifying.

LittleStory.io - AI bedtime stories: inspire growth, teach values or lessons.

11 Jan 2024 Parenting Artificial Intelligence Kids & Parenting

LittleStory - AI-bedtime stories for kids in 11+ languages, ensuring safe content. Aids in overcoming fears through comforting tales, teaching habits, explaining science, and turning daily events into educational stories. Made with GPT4 ✨

LittleStory.io's Product Hunt launch received positive feedback, with users praising the idea, design, and educational value for kids. Many congratulated the team and expressed excitement to try it out, highlighting its potential for fun and learning. The storybook concept was particularly well-received, with some users suggesting features like voice cloning. A localization issue was noted, where the language changes unexpectedly, affecting elderly users. A suggestion was made to allow audio previews without login.

Users find the product impressive but potentially monotonous. There are concerns about potential AI misuse as the service gains popularity. Users wonder how the product will differentiate itself from competitors. Suggestions include adding voice cloning for enhanced storytelling and addressing the slow language change feature to avoid frustrating non-English speakers. Requiring registration before exploring the audio feature may also deter initial user engagement.

AI for Toddlers

19 May 2023 Artificial Intelligence Kids

I wanted to share a few AI related things I've made for my kids (ages 2 and 4). It's mind blowing that the tech didn't exist in a useful state a year ago and now I end up using it almost daily.1. Story creator app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/custom-ai-stories/id1669159225 - iphone app to create and read stories. This uses the openAI API and Amazon Polly (text to speech). Icon generated by Midjourney. Recently the stories have been taking a bit longer than the estimate to generate, I think due to increased openAI API usage2. Belle uses the potty book - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PBVZeM3PdDYQDF0VJrU-sRn6v43AqSmaqm-w-08Tmyo/edit?usp=sharing - the images were created using Midjourney. Most of the children's books I've made for the kiddos are on random financial topics without a main character so it was fun to try Midjourney for this one.3. Children's book recommender - https://www.yes.ai/bookrec/?library=paloalto - GPT powered book recommendations with a link to get it from the local library.4. AI robot - https://photos.app.goo.gl/3RnYVF1qCsbq3PbR6 - A raspberry pi powered voice interface for chatGPT. You push the button to ask it a question, it sends to openAI and then reads outloud the response. Speech to text isn't great on toddler voices so this hasn't been used as much as I had hoped.5. textGPT - https://www.twilio.com/blog/text-ai-assistant-gpt-3-aws-lambda-twilio - I set up a phone number so I could text GPT as needed instead of using the web UI, I've used it for random things like suggesting nearby u-pick strawberry farms and answering questions about dinosaurs.I'd love to hear what AI related things you guys are building.

The app is praised for answering toddler's questions in a fun way. Users also appreciate the AI-illustrated Tarot book created using Midjourney, and the use of GIMP and Publisher for achieving perfect margins. The story and theme setting are considered brilliant, with users loving the icon and requesting prompts.

The Amazon Kindle creation tool received strong criticism for being the worst.
