Story Generation Tips

How do interests shape my child's stories?

Profile interests drive the plot. Specific themes like "building robots" beat broad ones like "science." Mix two to four interests for coherent adventures, and update them under Children → Edit Profile whenever tastes change — the next story picks up the new list.

How do genre, mood, and chapter controls work?

Before Generate Story, optionally set Genre, Mood (bedtime, energetic, educational, funny, calming), and Chapters (2–8). Leave them on Auto if you prefer — the system picks from age and interests. Mood changes tone and pacing, not safety rules.

How many stories can we generate per day?

Paid plans include three new stories per day per child, resetting at midnight UTC. Free includes three stories total. If you see a daily-limit message, today's allowance is used — buy a pack under Settings for more the same day. The cap supports a short daily habit instead of unlimited binge reading.

What if generation takes too long or fails?

Normal generation is about 20–40 seconds including safety, art, and narration. If the spinner runs past three minutes, refresh the library and retry — a timeout does not spend the daily limit. On failure: check the network, retry, try Auto genre/mood, or email [email protected] after three failures in a row.

What if the story quality feels wrong?

Narrow interests if the plot feels off-topic. Adjust Lexile under Children → Edit Profile if difficulty is off. Check the profile spelling if the hero's name is wrong. All stories stay in Dashboard → Stories for re-reading or PDF print.
