B2CBetaFamily stories, beautifully preserved.
Turn cherished family memories into personalized, AI-illustrated children's books your kids will treasure forever.
The Problem
Family stories get lost when grandparents pass away. Precious memories stored in photos and scattered conversations aren't passed down in engaging ways. Creating personalized, high-quality illustrated books is expensive and inaccessible.
The Approach
A guided, AI-powered workflow transforms family memories into professional-quality illustrated storybooks. Families submit photos and stories through a simple portal, AI generates watercolor-style illustrations featuring their actual family members, and the result is a printed heirloom book.
