Common questions

What happens to my child's drawing?

Your child's drawing is processed only for the immediate purpose of generating their storybook and game. Drawings are not shared, sold, or used for any other purpose. See our full privacy policy →

Is it used to train AI?

No. No child drawings or story outputs are ever used to train AI models. Your child's work remains entirely theirs.

Can I delete everything?

Yes. Contact us at any time to request deletion of all stored data. We will remove all associated content within 30 days.

What age range is this for?

StoryForge AI is designed for children ages 5–10. The interface is simple enough for young children with adult supervision, and the stories are written at a reading level appropriate for that age group.

Is the game safe?

No ads. No external links. No in-app purchases. No chat or social features. The game runs in a sandboxed browser canvas — there's literally nothing to click except the game itself. Safe by design.

What does it cost?

StoryForge AI is free to use right now. A premium plan is launching soon with expanded features. We'll communicate pricing before any changes to the free tier.

Most kids' apps just let them consume. StoryForge AI lets them create something they can actually share — something they made. That's a different kind of pride.

The insight behind StoryForge AI: children who create and share develop creative confidence that passive consumption simply cannot build.
