The claim

Sell personalised AI storybooks starring the customer's child.

Google and Meta launched personalised storybook features in 2025 and 2026, and academic concerns were published in May 2026.

How we checked

This is an evidence check, not a hands-on test. We reviewed platform rules and policies, published earnings data, regulator warnings and reporting: 3 sources, listed below.

Costs

Start-up cost: Varies
Effort: medium

What the evidence shows

Big tech is building this product into its own apps: Google's Gemini Storybook, launched worldwide in August 2025, makes 10-page illustrated, narrated books from a description or uploaded photos, and Meta began piloting a similar app, StoryKit, in July 2026. A Macquarie University researcher found AI children's books commonly contain spelling mistakes, incoherent plots and mismatched illustrations, and raised privacy concerns about children's data. Sellers would be competing with features built into major AI apps while handling photos of children.

Realistic earnings: The sources do not give earnings for sellers. They show the basic product is now a built-in feature of major AI apps, so any paid offer would need clear added value, such as quality editing or printing.

Limitations

Earnings ranges are typical outcomes for a beginner, drawn from the sources; some people do far better or worse. Platform rules change often, so check the latest policy before you start.
