Meta is testing a new app called StoryKit that uses artificial intelligence to create and tell personalized stories for children. The app is currently being tested in several countries, and the company is evaluating how much interest it can generate among parents.
With StoryKit, parents can create unique stories without writing any text themselves. First, you need to choose the main character - it can be a child, a family member or even his favorite toy. The user then defines the world of the story, such as an enchanted forest, outer space, or the deep sea, and also chooses the value they want to convey to the child: kindness, courage, compassion, etc.
According to Meta, StoryKit is designed so that educational ideas are naturally incorporated into a story without turning it into a lecture. The app can also use music and various creative elements to make the stories more interesting.
The company notes that StoryKit has no social features, includes artificial intelligence-based security filters, and is only intended for users over 18 years of age.
Meta believes that such a tool can help parents, especially in situations where the child wants to hear a new and unique story with the participation of his favorite toys or characters, and the parent does not have the time or ideas to invent it.
