Google has announced a new capability in the Gemini app that allows users to generate personalized illustrated storybooks featuring read-aloud narration.
Personalized Illustrated Storybooks in Gemini
Users provide a story description, and Gemini produces a unique 10-page book with custom illustrations and audio narration. The app can incorporate users’ own photos and files to enhance personalization, as stated by Joël Yawili, Product Manager for Gemini.
The feature supports diverse visual styles, such as pixel art, comics, claymation, crochet, and coloring books, and works in over 45 languages.
Use Case Examples
- Explaining complex subjects to children, e.g., “Create a story explaining the solar system to a 5-year-old.”
- Teaching values through stories, e.g., “Teach a 7-year-old boy about kindness to his younger brother, with an elephant as the main character.”
- Turning children’s drawings into storybooks by uploading artwork for inspiration.
- Creating personalized adventure stories from family photos.
Availability
This functionality is available globally on desktop and mobile devices through the Gemini app, covering all languages supported by Gemini.
