Who’s behind the books
BooklyBot turns a photo and a few choices into a real storybook starring the actual small person you know. We are, essentially, a book factory run by one human and one very well-read robot who owns far too many crayons.
How this started
Once upon a time
Every child is already the hero of something — the bike ride, the lost tooth, the dragon under the bed. The trouble is that store-bought books are always about some other kid. So our founder — one parent with a laptop — set out to fix the name on the cover.
And then
We handed one very patient robot a library, a box of crayons and one rule: put the child at the centre and never, ever be boring. Show it a photo and it dreams the child into an illustrated hero — always a drawing, never a copy. And the photo itself is never stored: the robot looks once, draws, and forgets.
Happily ever after
A few minutes later, a real illustrated storybook exists that didn’t exist before — an original tale of 24+ pages starring your little legend. Read it instantly as a digital edition, or have it printed and delivered to your door in a few days.
How a book gets made
Upload a photo and make a few choices: six art styles, six story tones, more than 50 languages, a reading age — plus any themes, friends and family you’d like woven in.
It transforms your child into a beautifully illustrated character, writes an original story of 24+ pages, and illustrates every single page around your hero.
You see the whole book before anything is printed — and you can edit any text, any illustration, even the cover, until it’s exactly right.
Download the digital edition instantly, and/or have your book professionally printed, bound and delivered worldwide in around 3–5 days — delivery included.
No two books come out the same. That’s kind of the point.
What we believe
Not a sidekick, not a stock illustration. The story bends around your child, start to finish.
Screens are fine. But a book you can hold, dog-ear and read at bedtime is a different kind of keepsake.
Your photo is never stored — it’s used once to draw the character, then gone. First names only, never a photo-real likeness, and your child’s details are never sold or shared.
Tell the robot who the hero is. It’ll take it from there — you’ll see the whole book, and can edit anything, before it’s printed.
