The Workshop

Your Studio for the People You Love

This is the full bench. Build a cast you can reuse, watch a book come together page by page, and then open every page up and make it yours, the words and the art, until it reads exactly the way you hear it in your head. Here’s everything the studio gives you.

The Part We Love Most

Share a Character With the People Who Love Them Too

When you build a character, a grandmother, a new baby, the family dog, that character is yours. You can reuse them in as many books as you like. And you can share them.

Share a grandmother with your sister, and she can place that same grandmother into a book for her own children. Cousins’ books can hold the very same beloved person. A character can belong to a whole family, not just one book.

Sharing stays gentle. The person you share with sees the character’s name and that it came from you. Your private notes stay yours. And if they’d rather not keep it, they can quietly set it aside.

On the Workbench

Everything the Studio Gives You

01

You Build the Characters

Describe the people and pets you love. We generate each character’s art, and you approve it before a single story is written.

02

A Library That Remembers

Every character you create is saved. Reuse them across as many books as you like, with no need to start from scratch.

03

The Same Face on Every Page

Once a character is approved, that same recognizable face appears on every page. And before you see any page, it’s quietly checked for the things that break a book: a slipped face, a stranger, an extra finger, stray text. Anything off is redrawn and rechecked until it’s right.

04

One Story, or a Collection

Make a single illustrated story, or a collection of five starring one cast of characters. You pick the shape.

05

As Involved as You Like

Give a single sentence, or shape every setting, scene, and detail yourself. The book bends to how much you want to steer.

06

Ink Listens When You Want a Page Different

Tell Ink, the tool we built for revisions, what to change. It studies the page, holds the rest of the painting steady, and redraws just that one.

07

Watch Quill Paint, Page by Page

Quill, the tool that writes and illustrates each page, builds the book on screen, page by page. You can watch every page appear as it’s made, with the finished book usually ready in under an hour.

08

The Book Is Yours

The moment it’s finished, the file is yours to keep, print-ready. A hardcover book is coming, and it’ll never be required.

Every book begins with a theme or a blank page. Browse the gift themes or see how it works.

The Editor

A Finished Book Is Where the Real Work Begins

The editor is the hands-on heart of the studio. Once your book is made, you can open any page and change it, the words and the art, until every spread reads the way you meant it to.

Edit the Words and the Art

Open any page and rewrite the line, or change what’s in the picture. Both sit right there, ready to be reworked, on every page.

Redraw by Typing What You Want

Don’t like a page? Say what to change in plain words, a different pose, a missing detail, more light, and the page is painted again.

Version History You Can Undo

Every take on a character’s art is kept. Browse back through earlier versions and bring one back with a single tap.

A Redraw That Keeps the World

When you redraw a page, its setting holds. The room, the time of day, the mood all stay put, so only what you asked for moves.

And every book can be made in English or Spanish, the same cast and the same art, just told in another tongue.
