Build a bedtime-story shelf because the AI chats kept losing my daughter's favorites
A father of a 5-year-old used AI to generate a fresh bedtime story every night, sometimes with audio mode reading aloud - until his daughter started asking for 'that story we listened to before' and the favorites were buried across scattered chat threads. He built a small website, FifiStory, as a persistent shelf: the stories live in one collection that can be read or listened to, and he keeps adding to it as they use it. He made it free and public, no account or paywall.
How it works
- Generate nightly stories with AI, sometimes read aloud in audio mode
- Hit the retrieval problem when his daughter requests an old favorite
- Build a small website as a permanent story collection with read and listen options
- Keep adding stories as they use it
- Open it free to other parents
Why it’s worth knowing
The product exists because of a five-year-old's memory: she remembered the stories better than the chat list did, so the stories needed a shelf, not a thread.
