Storybooks

Generate a sequence of consistent illustrations for a story. Pages chain together so outfit, lighting, and visual register carry across, then optionally export to PDF.

What you get

  • One scene per page, all featuring the same locked character (or a multi-character cast).
  • Optional cross-page chaining via previous_image_id — page N anchors on page N-1, drastically cutting outfit / lighting drift across the book.
  • Optional consistency check + retry per page. Slower but higher quality.
  • Optional PDF export — assembled, paginated, downloadable.

From the UI

  • Open the /library or use the standalone storybook example app at examples/storybook-demo-app.
  • Pick a character, type N page prompts (one per line), choose options, generate.

Multi-character storybooks

Pass character_ids (array of 2-4) instead of character_id for stories with multiple recurring characters. Costs 2 credits per page (vs 1 for single-character).

From Claude Desktop (MCP)

text
"Generate a 5-page storybook of Luna meeting Milo at the seaside,
art style: watercolor. Export to PDF when done."

Claude calls generate_storybook with the right params. See MCP integration.

For best cross-page coherence keep art_style constant across the book and enable chaining. Storybook endpoint chains by default; the per-page /api/generate path needs previous_image_id threaded manually.
