Questions

Is the photo kept?

No. We use the photo once to draw them as a storybook character. We don't store it, and it's never used to train AI, by us or by our platform.

Is it made with AI?

Yes. The pictures are painted with AI image tools from the photo you choose, and each one is checked automatically before it's used. The seven stories were written and edited with AI to read well aloud; your grandchild's name goes in spelled as you typed it, and the things they love are the ones you pick. The words are typeset like any printed book, never drawn by the image AI, so every word is spelled right.

When will it arrive?

Printing usually takes 2 to 5 business days, then usually 3 to 5 days in the mail. For Christmas, order by December 7.
