Google has introduced a new tool in the Gemini chatbot that allows the creation of illustrated stories based on a simple description. The feature is called “Storybook” and generates ten-page stories, each containing a short paragraph of text and an illustration. Users can ask Gemini to read the text aloud and choose the artistic style of the illustrations, such as clay animation, anime, or comics.
Google allows users to upload their own photos or drawings for Gemini to use as a basis for creating a story. For example, a child’s drawing can be uploaded, and a fairy tale can be created based on it. Sometimes the illustrations may contain minor inaccuracies, such as fish with human hands or unusual placement of objects in the picture, but overall, the created stories match the style of children’s books.
The “Storybook” feature works on both computers and mobile devices. It is available in all languages supported by Gemini. This expands the possibilities of using AI for families, teachers, and anyone looking for an easy way to create a unique illustrated story.
