Thanks again for the feedback - since your message I added a clear message first book for free and first you need to login with verified email to progress. Hope that makes it more user friendly :)
Thanks,there is already couple of similar products so a lot will depend on the proper priorities and speed of iterations.
I've just pushed a change where inputs are consistent - it was light vs dark scheme thing as I use light scheme.
Also I have added small info paragraph before title and description so it's more clear what it does.
I've just added a first book for free on validating email. Hope that will help :) Thanks for all the feedback so far.
So like a market place for self publishing? Like an Etsy but for AI generated "stuff".
1) The style consistency is the easiest to achieve and we are much better at looking back 2 weeks ago on our MVP
https://devpost.com/software/children-s-book-illustrator?ref...2) Character consistency is a much harder topic but we have couple of ideas, either dreambooth for each combination of hair/age/color etc. and or layering and rendering one character at a time then layering them over an image should give much more stable characters.
3) Regenerate - we were thinkin on a button for the whole book, so that you can regenerate it if it's not to your liking up to N times. With illustrations we were thinking to first add 3-4 versions of your illustrations that you can review and set which is best and as a next step regeneration.
4) Current payment model was just a test if anyone would be willing to pay for the book. We were thinking subscription and N chapters per tier, so that you can generate like a 100 chapters a week. And how you want to spend it it's your choice.

I work full-time so this is side-project done in two weeks, it's far from what it could be but I am still happy that I've got something working and at least someone finds enjoyable.
Do you think that paywalling, after seeing cover and first page would be more honest/acceptable? Or maybe we should give some free generations after email confirmation. It certainly something we will be thinking through as we don't want anyone to feel we are being dishonest.
I am sorry you feel this way, I added pay what you want messagesin every button to make it clear, but ill try to rethink if I can do it in a better way. Its kind of hard to know if someone would be willing to pay for the generated books. We didn't had any other ideas how to test that out.
Hey thanks for the feedback! We were thinking about that, but as the generation is quite time consuming we had not started it before payment, will think about making the process better for customer.

If you still have the link, I've moved forward the book for you

Hey together with wife we took part in AssemblyAI hackathon and although we didn't win we felt good enough about our inital MVP that we took it a bit further.You can describe your characters and give a title and however long/detailed description you want, the gpt-3 will generate a children's story from it, dall-e will generate images. Images are postprocessed with stable-diffusion custom model...
We are now starting to look for some local tailors to try if we can source it locally. But Vietnam and Thailand if we were to scale seem like a good idea, as there are many high quality tailors there and to I have heard people recommending many of them for tailor made clothes.
I've built this app in about 3 weeks while working full-time.
It's based on stable-diffusion and some fine-tuned models. It's written in React, TailwindCSS using Prisma, tRPC, Next.js
I host on Vercel and Railway.app (db)
Feel free to ask technical questions, as well as the roadmap.
The idea here is to take someone idea of a fashion design and enhance it with AI driven visualisations.
The next steps that we would like to check is how feasible it would be for the visualisations be actually orderable from a tailor.
