Google's Gemini AI now includes a new creative feature called the Storybook tool.The tool allows users to transform simple ideas into a 10-page visual narrative with voice narration. All you have to do is describe what you want, and Gemini AI will generate the text, graphics, and audio.

Google feels this functionality is especially useful for parents, teachers, and storytellers who want to create interesting stories quickly. The Storybook tool is compatible with both the desktop and mobile versions of the Gemini apps and is available worldwide. You only need a Google account to use it. It also supports over 45 languages and is compatible with both text prompts and uploaded content such as pictures or drawings.
 
To create a storybook, start the Gemini app or visit "gemini.google.com" . Select Storybook from the "Gems" section. Then, write your idea, and Gemini will create a completely illustrated 10-page story.

The story is presented in a two-column format, one side displays the storybook, while the other side is a chat window for providing feedback. You cannot directly alter the text, but you can request that Gemini make modifications. Gemini will then build a new version with the required photos. 

Users can also submit personal information, such as vacation images or children's drawings, and Gemini will create a story around it. You can choose from a variety of art forms, including pixel art, comic strips, claymation, crochet, and coloring books. The application also provides audio narration with varying voice tones to accommodate different age groups. Once your story is complete, you can publish it online, download it for printing, or simply listen to it with narration. According to Google, this capability can be used to entertain, educate, or creatively explain real-life events to children.
