Dear Parents and Educators,
- To endless possibilities: This is just one way of utilizing the storybook feature, put on your 'Creative Hat' and explore different ways to use it! We would enjoy watching your ideas in action too.
- Figure out a way to involve your student in the process of creating the story book (it could be in the form of creating the artwork or character for the story, deciding the theme or moral for the story, or style of art for the story book).
- Don't expect your student to fall in line after 1 or 2 renditions of the personalized social story generated by you. Bringing about behavioral change is a slow and intuitive process. Be patient with your student or kid. Top it up with other activities. Model the desired behavior regularly too.
- Try not to share your or your kid's or student's real photos and personal details with AI powered tools.
- Please overlook my screen recorders struggle to capture my screen without flickering!
Dear #google, I have the following suggestions for #gemini #storybook feature (since it is in its experimental stage!):
1. Wouldn't it be better if the attribution under the title of the storybook says, "Created by ABC using Gemini Storybook"?
2. Please figure out a way to credit or acknowledge and quote sources used by the AI model to generate the story book (similar to the manner in which your AI powered search engine, now, links or quotes sources).
3. Provide us with an option to download the digital version of the story book as a .mp4 file.
4. When we save the file as a PDF instead of printing it, ensure the illustrations corresponding to the write-ups (lines from the story) are on the same page (as it appears in the digital/online version of the storybook).

Please Note (as of 05.09.2025):
- Gemini's Storybook Feature, which is in its experimental stage, attributes the prompt writer as the author of the story book generated by it. As someone, who believes in the power of words, our heart goes out to original creators, writers and illustrators on whose ideas, style and artwork the generated output is based upon (which would have been a part of the data set used train the AI model). We are hopeful, as we move forward in time, Google will figure out a way to credit or acknowledge and quote sources used by the AI model to generate the story book. So that we can use this cool feature in a transparent and credible manner.
- The length of the illustrated storybook created by Gemini is 10 pages.
With Hope.
