Gemini’s Storybook Tool: Here’s What It Offers
Google’s Gemini now includes a creative “Storybook” tool that transforms user ideas into personalized, ten-page illustrated books complete with voice narration. All it takes is a brief description — Gemini takes care of writing the story, generating custom artwork, and adding audio narration.
To make each story more personal, users can also upload their own images or documents as creative input. From pixel art and comic strips to claymation, crochet, and coloring book styles, the tool supports a wide variety of artistic formats and functions in more than 45 languages. It’s now accessible worldwide on both desktop and mobile platforms.
