Google Gemini can now create AI-generated bedtime storybooks with custom art and audio

Google has introduced a new and innovative feature in its Gemini app. Users of the Gemini app can now create personalized, illustrated storybooks with complete read-aloud narration for bedtime stories. Known as 'Storybook,' this feature aims to revolutionize family reading time with unique narratives. "Today we're announcing a new way to bring your ideas to life in the Gemini app: personalized, illustrated storybooks complete with read-aloud narration," said Google. "Simply describe any story you can imagine, and Gemini generates a unique 10-page book with custom art and audio. For a truly personal touch, you can ask Gemini to draw inspiration from your own photos and files. Bring your vision to life in any style imaginable: from pixel art and comics to claymation, crochet, and even coloring books, in more than 45 languages," added the company.

Gemini app's Storybook feature

The Storybook feature, available for all Gemini users globally, allows them to simply describe any story they can imagine, and Gemini will generate a unique 10-page digital book. Users can choose from a wide range of artistic styles, including pixel art, comics, claymation, crochet, and even coloring book formats, available in over 45 languages.

Tailored for kids

Parents can use Gemini to: * Explain complex topics in kid-friendly language * Teach life lessons through storytelling * Turn children's drawings into full-fledged narratives * Create adventures based on family photos and memories For example, uploading a child's drawing and prompting Gemini with "Write a story that brings this to life" results in a fully illustrated tale inspired by the artwork. "Simply describe any story you can imagine, and Gemini generates a unique 10-page book with custom art and audio," said Joël Yawili, Product Manager for the Gemini app. While the feature is primarily designed for children's entertainment and education, early users have noted its appeal for all ages. The ability to customize characters, settings, and even moral lessons within the stories offers a new level of creative interaction.

よかれと思ってやっているのに逆効果!? 愛車の寿命を縮めるNGカーケア5選
愛車を大切に扱っているつもりが、実は知らず知らずのうちに車の寿命を縮めてしまっていることがあります。日常的に何気なく行っているケアでも、間違った方法はトラブルの元に。今回は、意外と多い「やりがちなNG行動」を5つピックアップし、その理由と正しい対処法を詳しく解説します。NG行為1:下り坂でNレンジに入れて燃費を節約しようとする下り坂でAT車のシフトをNレンジにするのは、一見燃費が良くなりそうですが、実は逆効果。現代のAT車はDレンジのままアクセルを戻せば、エンジンが燃料噴射を抑えて効率的に走行してくれます。Nレンジにするとエンジンからの駆動力が断たれ、AT内部の潤滑オイルを送るポンプが停止し、内部の損傷リスクが高まるため非常に危険です。たとえ誤操作しても安全機能で保護されていますが、基本的には絶対に避けましょう。NG行為2:タイヤの空気圧を必要以上に高く設定する空気圧は車ごとに適正値が決まっており、燃費や走行性能を保つためにも守るべきポイントです。高めに設定すれば燃費がよくなると思われがちですが、過剰に高くするとタイヤの衝撃吸収力が低下し、足回りの部品にダメージを与えたり、偏摩耗や雨天
