Questions parents ask
The short answers. The full set lives on the FAQ page.
What is StoryTelly?
StoryTelly turns a short prompt into a fully illustrated storybook your child becomes the hero of. Each story is generated end to end — narrative, illustrations, and gentle pacing tuned for reading aloud at bedtime.
How are illustrations created?
We use leading AI image models (OpenAI, Stability, Replicate, Google, fal.ai) and pick the one that best fits the art style you choose. Every prompt is screened against OpenAI's moderation API before any image is generated — fail-closed when the service is unreachable.
How is my child kept safe?
Child names are tokenized on your device before any prompt leaves — the server never sees your child's real name. Every illustration prompt is moderated before generation. A configurable parent lock (PIN, pattern, or BIP39 recovery code) gates destructive actions like story deletion, account deletion, and sign-out. We follow COPPA, GDPR, and CCPA. See /privacy-rights for the full data-rights walkthrough.
What platforms does it run on?
StoryTelly ships today as a desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux. A web version is in development and will launch alongside paid subscriptions.
What's included in the free tier?
Three illustrated stories per week, every art style except the two premium-only ones, up to three panels per story, PDF and coloring-book PDF export. The free tier is the same on desktop today and the web app when it launches.
