Storytreasure

Project Overview

Story Treasure is an AI-powered platform for creating illustrated children’s books, specifically developed by a Portuguese father living in Germany who faced challenges finding Portuguese children’s books for his bilingual daughters. The web application enables users to generate multilingual children’s stories with AI-generated illustrations.

Technical Implementation

A key technical challenge discussed was maintaining character consistency across AI-generated images. The creator appears to have developed a solution that produces relatively stable character representations. The platform operates on a credit-based model, where the creator purchases model credits and resells them at a margin to generate revenue.

Community Insights

Community members showed particular interest in two aspects:

• Technical performance, especially character generation consistency
• Business model and monetization strategy

The platform seems to solve a niche multilingual children’s book creation problem, with early user engagement from diverse linguistic backgrounds (e.g., Portuguese, German speakers).

Business Model

The project uses a credit-based monetization approach, where users purchase credits for story and illustration generation. The creator buys model credits at a lower cost and sells them at a higher price, creating a sustainable revenue stream.

Notable Technical Challenges

The discussion highlighted ongoing improvements, particularly around language-specific issues like German title generation on book covers, indicating an iterative development approach focused on user experience.
