Hey thanks for the feedback! We were thinking about that, but as the generation is quite time consuming we had not started it before payment, will think about making the process better for customer.

At the bottom of landing page there are examples: https://www.childbook.ai/book/clbxjxxjp0000mq08xtavb4b9

If you still have the link, I've moved forward the book for you

Hah, thanks! The finished output was rather enjoyable (if a bit silly throughout, as a children's book ought to be!), with a happy ending too.

Some more feedback:

1) I don't know if this is possible, but can you ask the upstream generators to try to maintain a consistent image style between pages? The different look and feel page to page can be a little jarring

2) Similarly, I don't suppose there's a way to keep the look of each character consistent through the story? It's not always clear who's who, from page to page. The examples have a single character, and it's able to maintain the same hair and clothing style, but with multiple characters it's hard to keep track of who's who.

3) An on-page "regenerate image" (perhaps with an additional prompt?) might be helpful to further fix up some of the trippier images

4) Can the payment model accommodate longer stories? Like if I wanted to pay more for a 50-page book with more details and dialogue, etc.?

Overall though, this is a great synthesis of upstream AI producers and I'm excited to see how it develops! A book like this might make a fun gift for some of the kids in my life... thanks for the demo :)

1) The style consistency is the easiest to achieve and we are much better at looking back 2 weeks ago on our MVP https://devpost.com/software/children-s-book-illustrator?ref...

2) Character consistency is a much harder topic but we have couple of ideas, either dreambooth for each combination of hair/age/color etc. and or layering and rendering one character at a time then layering them over an image should give much more stable characters.

3) Regenerate - we were thinkin on a button for the whole book, so that you can regenerate it if it's not to your liking up to N times. With illustrations we were thinking to first add 3-4 versions of your illustrations that you can review and set which is best and as a next step regeneration.

4) Current payment model was just a test if anyone would be willing to pay for the book. We were thinking subscription and N chapters per tier, so that you can generate like a 100 chapters a week. And how you want to spend it it's your choice.

I work full-time so this is side-project done in two weeks, it's far from what it could be but I am still happy that I've got something working and at least someone finds enjoyable.

What I'd like is to just have a service where I can self-publish books, that can be bought. Ideally I could just upload images from stable diffusion, and text blurbs per image from chatGPT.

I wrote a really good, eh.. I was given a good story from ai that would be a great children's book but I couldn't find any decent ways to self-publish.

So like a market place for self publishing? Like an Etsy but for AI generated "stuff".
