AI-Powered Personalized Storybook Creator (like Storytimes.ai)

A service that generates custom picture books using AI. Users upload photos of an individual (e.g., a child), the AI trains on their likeness to create a character, generates a unique story, and then inserts the AI-generated character into various scenes (e.g., riding dinosaurs).
