AI-Powered Storytelling Coach for Kids (with Auto-Generated Comics)

Hi HN - My name is Lalit. I'm a father of 2.

I started building this because my kids were constantly telling me stories, and I realized—they get almost no real feedback on how they're telling them. Storytelling is one of the most important developmental skills, but there's no practical tool that lets kids see their own progress.

The platform analyzes stories using research-backed metrics (narrative structure, vocabulary richness, emotional range, creativity) and generates a comic so kids want to keep telling more. The visualization is the engagement hook; the metrics are the actual value.

It's been live with real users. Early feedback: parents find the metrics reliable, but like most skill development, seeing real progress takes time—weeks/months of storytelling, not days.

I'd love HN's thoughts on whether this framework actually captures what matters in children's storytelling development. Website has a full example you can explore.
