Many years ago (nearly 10!), when I was in the thick of making up bedtime stories every night, I wished aloud for an app that would help do the following:
- Record you telling your kids bedtime stories (maybe after prompting you just before bedtime)
- Transcribe the text
- Organize the sound & text files (into a book, journal, and/or timeline layout)
- Add photos, illustrations, and links.
- Share from the journal to a blog, Tumblr, etc.
I was never in a position to build it, but seeing this fusion of kid art + AI makes me hope again:
With #stablediffusion img2img, I can help bring my 4yr old’s sketches to life.

So here’s my tweet-length PRD:
- Record parents’/kids’ voices.
- Transcribe as a journal.
- Enable scribbling.
- Synthesize images on demand.
On behalf of parents & caregivers everywhere, come on, world—LFG! 😛
