Letting kids create unique stories by dropping emojis into a magical pot with Storypot


One Thursday evening at bedtime, my 5-year-old pointed at a ceramic frog-shaped container and said, "Papa, can you tell me a story about that?" Five days later, I had a prototype.

Storypot lets kids drop emojis into a magical pot to create unique stories tailored to their age and interests. Parents can weave in themes like kindness, big feelings, or trying again—helping kids explore emotions through stories they're excited to hear.

Since launching, over 1,000 stories have been created, it's been featured in Lenny's Newsletter, has its own podcast (also using LLMs with ElevenLabs to generate audio from text), and has received love from parents and kids across the world. I'm now working with a small team on an iOS app and evolving the product based on what we've learned.
