For parents
Effective September 12, 2026. This describes how Story Creator works. It is not a substitute for a lawyer's advice.
Story Creator is built so a grown-up holds the keys. You sign in with Google. You add a child by name. You can issue a family code and PIN so they can write on a phone without a Google account.
What kids can do
- Write and save stories under their profile.
- Ask the AI for ideas or the next paragraph (daily cap).
- Open stories you have unlocked, including pictures and PDFs.
Kids cannot pay. Unlock buttons tell them to ask a parent.
What you should do
- Use your own Google account, not your child’s.
- Give the family code only to your kid and your household.
- Glance at the Dashboard if a story is flagged. Approve sharing only if you mean it (there is no public gallery yet).
- Ask kids not to write real addresses, classmates’ full names, or school details. That text is sent to an AI to continue the story or draw a picture.
Money
Stories are free. A text PDF is $2.99. An illustrated book is $6.99 (defaults; Stripe charges the listed price). Pictures generate after you unlock, not before.
If something goes wrong
If you paid and the story did not unlock, write to [email protected] and include the story title and about when you paid.
