Tell Me a Story
Personalized bedtime stories powered by AI, bounded by parental guardrails.
Overview
An iOS app that generates unique, calm, educational bedtime stories for children ages 3-8. Parents set safe parameters, and the app creates endless variety within those boundaries—solving the "freestyle AI" trust problem that keeps parents away from generative tools for kids.
The Problem
Bedtime is stressful; parents run out of story ideas. Kids want fresh, personalized content. Parents don't trust unfiltered AI with their children. Existing solutions are either static libraries or unpredictable generators.
The Solution
- Templated Creativity — Not ChatGPT freestyle, parents configure safe parameters
- Child's name, age, interests, approved themes and topics
- Story length and complexity controls
- Voice preferences (Siri free tier, premium voices for subscribers)
- Every story is calm, age-appropriate, and designed to help children relax
Market Opportunity
20M+ households with children 3-8 in the US
Bedtime routine products are a $500M+ category
AI-native children's content is nascent with few trusted players
Traction
- Two development phases complete (MVP + monetization)
- Subscription system with free/premium tiers implemented
- GDPR and COPPA compliance built-in from day one
- Cost-optimized at ~$0.001/story using efficient AI models
Business Model
€6.99/month premium subscription for unlimited stories, multiple children, premium voices, and advanced customization.
