Bedtime questions, answered

Plain, honest answers to the questions parents ask before trying a personalised or AI bedtime story — about quality, your own voice, and keeping it safe.

When you're away

How can you read your kids a bedtime story when you're away?

Record your voice once, and a new story is narrated in your voice every night — for travelling, working, and deployed parents. Screen-free, across any time zone.

Voice

Can AI read a bedtime story in your own voice?

Yes — record about a minute once, and new stories can be narrated in a voice that sounds like yours, so your child hears you even when you can't be there.

Safety

Are AI bedtime stories safe for kids?

They can be — with guardrails: a fixed, reviewed story world, content-safety checks, age-tuning, minimal data, and a parental-consent (COPPA) flow. Here's what to look for.
