# Meta is testing an AI bedtime story app for people with no imagination

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Meta is piloting an AI-powered children's storytelling app called StoryKit, available in select countries. The app lets parents generate personalized bedtime stories with custom characters, settings, lessons, and music — no writing required. The author takes a critical stance, arguing that outsourcing storytelling to AI undermines human creativity and parent-child connection, and that parents can simply choose not to use it.
