Meta is testing an AI bedtime story app for people with no imagination
Meta confirmed it is piloting StoryKit, an AI app that generates personalized children’s storybooks for parents.
The app lets adults create stories by choosing custom characters, settings, lessons, and music. Its App Store description says parents can bring a toy or person into the story from a photo, then steer the moral toward values like kindness or courage. Meta told TechCrunch the pilot is running in select countries, is limited to users over 18, has no social features, and uses AI safety filters. TechCrunch’s piece frames the app less as a convenience than as another attempt to automate a private human ritual. TechCrunch AI's note
