3. Description of Services

Storique is an advanced multimodal software platform designed to create highly personalized storybooks. Our technology allows users to define characters—whether real or imaginary—and embed them into unique, AI-generated stories with custom illustrations.

Account Creation & Character Definition

To access Storique, users enter their email address on storique.ai and receive a secure login link via email, directing them to their account on app.storique.ai. Within the platform, users can define characters in two ways:

  • Imaginary Characters: Users provide a name and description.
  • Real Individuals: Users upload eight high-quality photos of the person they wish to model. It is essential that each photo features only the intended person to ensure accurate AI training.

Up to three characters can be included in a single book.

Story Creation & AI Assistance

Once characters are defined, users can begin crafting a story. An AI assistant guides them through selecting key elements, including:

  • Storyline development (with AI-generated assistance)
  • Character roles within the story
  • Book language, title, and summary

After finalizing these details, users proceed to place an order with payment.

AI-Generated Content & Editing

In the background, our AI agents:

  1. Train a personalized AI model based on the uploaded images.
  2. Write and illustrate the entire book, ensuring the story aligns with the user's preferences.
  3. Deliver an initial fully illustrated version of the book within 24 hours. Users receive an email notification when their book is ready.

Users can edit both text and illustrations before finalizing:

  • Text Editing: The AI assistant can regenerate text based on user input.
  • Illustration Editing: Users describe desired illustrations in natural language. For example:*"@Max as a diver floating in the ocean, with colorful corals and a shipwreck behind him."*The AI will generate images incorporating the user's custom-trained characters.

Printing & Delivery

Once satisfied with the book, users can finalize their order. The book is then sent to our contracted print partners, who produce a unique hardcover edition and ship it to the provided address.

  • Shipping Time: Orders are delivered within 6 business days.
  • Notifications: Users receive email updates at each stage of the process.

4. User Obligations and Responsibilities

To ensure optimal performance and quality of the Services, users must:

  1. Provide High-Quality Images for AI Training
    • When defining a character based on a real individual, users must upload eight high-resolution photos where only the corresponding person is visible.
    • Failure to provide clear, high-quality images may result in suboptimal outcomes, for which we cannot guarantee the desired quality of the generated content or the optimal functioning of the software.
  2. Review and Finalize the Story Before Printing
    • Users are responsible for reviewing the initial draft of their storybook, including both text and illustrations.
    • The platform allows users to edit and refine the content until they are fully satisfied.
    • Once the user finalizes the book, no further changes can be made, and the book will be sent to our contracted print partners for production.
  3. Responsibility for Content
    • The user is considered the author of the book and is solely responsible for the content within it.
    • We do not modify, proofread, or censor the book's content before printing.
    • Users must ensure that all content they upload or generate:
      • Does not infringe on any third-party rights (such as copyrights, trademarks, or privacy rights).

9. Non-Deterministic Nature of AI Outputs

Storique leverages a complex pipeline of state-of-the-art AI models to generate text and illustrations, including custom-trained models for personalized books. Due to the inherent non-deterministic nature of these underlying algorithms, outputs may vary slightly with each generation. This means that:

  • The same prompt produces different results upon regeneration.
  • Generated content may not always align perfectly with user expectations or initial instructions.
  • Each AI-generated output will be unique, with variations in composition, details, and wording upon regeneration.

All images are generated in the signature "Storique" style. Users cannot modify the art style by specifying aesthetic preferences such as "Lego," "anime," or other artistic influences. Attempting to do so in prompts may lead to unexpected or distorted results.

To ensure the final book meets user expectations, our platform allows for unlimited text regeneration and up to 500 image generations per book. Users are encouraged to review and refine their content before finalizing their order. Once the book is finalized, no further modifications can be made.

Content Format Disclaimer

Storique is optimized for generating prose-based storybooks. While users may experiment with alternative formats such as poetry, we cannot guarantee the quality, coherence, or consistency of the results in such cases. By submitting prompts intended to produce poetic or verse-style texts, you acknowledge that the output may vary and that Storique assumes no responsibility for the outcome.

Misuse and Content Policy

Storique is designed to help users create personalized, family-friendly storybooks using AI technology. By using our platform, you agree to use the software as intended. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the service without notice if we determine that a user is:

  • Intentionally providing misleading or confusing prompts to interfere with the functionality of the AI,
  • Attempting to produce or promote harassing, offensive, or inappropriate content,
  • Creating content that is discriminatory, harmful, scandalous, or otherwise violates our content guidelines or community standards.

Storique actively restricts the creation of content that is not safe for children. If we detect that a user is attempting to generate inappropriate, explicit, or otherwise unsuitable content, we reserve the right to immediately block access to the platform and withhold any associated services.

Additionally, we reserve the right to withhold the production and delivery of any printed books that are found to contain such prohibited content. Storique maintains sole discretion in making these determinations.
