Frequently asked questions

Are these stories really for adults?
Yes - adult themes, adult pacing: love, nostalgia, mystery, life milestones. No children's morals attached.
What occasions fit an adult personalized story?
Anniversaries, proposals, weddings, retirements, farewells and birthdays - any moment where you want to say something a greeting card cannot.
How does personalization work for adults?
Same magic, grown-up execution: from a couple of photos and your story details, the AI writes and illustrates a book where the real people are the characters.
