FAQs
What is SmartDreams?
SmartDreams is a first-of-its-kind intelligent storytelling platform that leverages powerful generative AI to unlock the endless wonder of a child’s imagination at bedtime. The free-to-use app securely develops captivating narratives and custom-made illustrations in a matter of seconds that allow children to curate and find their own creative voice and witness their ideas spring to life instantaneously.
How does the app work? What elements of the experience are children able to customize?
SmartDreams is an app that can be downloaded for free via the Apple App Store. Once downloaded, parents can securely create a master account and customize individual profiles for each of their kids to play within. From there, the app works as a “choose your own adventure” storytelling platform, where children can choose which narrative elements to generate a story around, including: heroes, sidekicks, animals, foods, locations, and more.
How did you come up with the idea behind SmartDreams? (in first person)
The idea for SmartDreams was born out of those precious moments with our children before bedtime. One night, our daughter asked me (Nick Desai) to tell her a story about a bear, a forest, and a pizza. I remember struggling to bring those elements to life in a story that could both entertain and include her in the process. But in the midst of that struggle, inspiration struck.
Does SmartDreams allow you to save stories?
Absolutely! Children/parents are given the option to save, store, and continually revisit their favorite SmartDreams creations to keep the magic of their stories alive.
Is SmartDreams safe for kids to use?
Yes. As parents of three children ourselves, we were diligent about designing an app that we would feel 100% confident letting our own children use. We stand behind a promise to parents that we will never sell or store any part of their child’s data and want them to rest assured that all of their family’s unique creations are kept private and secure within our interface.
Will SmartDreams repeat stories if the same selections are made?
No, every single story that is generated on SmartDreams will be different from the last. That is part of the magic of the platform, made possible by the endless generative capacity of AI.
What can be expected from SmartDreams in the near future?
Some key features that will be added to the platform in the near future include: Culturally-educational themes; Voiceover; Storybooks
What reading level does SmartDreams’ stories generate?
The content that SmartDreams generates can be understood by readers as young as 3 years old but also resonates with older kids as they continue to develop their reading skills and activate their imagination in a fun and stimulating way.
What themes are incorporated into the stories?
SmartDreams incorporates the general values and core principles that many parents and guardians are already teaching children from an early age, including messaging around: an emphasis on being kind, trying your best, showing empathy, inclusivity, ongoing learning, anti-bullying, and other universal themes that are seamlessly weaved into each unique narrative without detracting from the excitement and adventure of a user-generated storytime.
Why should parents reach for a mobile device with SmartDreams at bedtime over the multitude of children’s books that are already out there?
1. We believe that it’s important to familiarize children with the changing landscape of technology and get them excited about the power/magic of STEM fields as early in life as possible. 2. While we love reading classic children’s stories to our kids, they often grow tired of hearing the same tales over and over. This platform was born out of our lived experience — when our own child asked us to tell her a new story with specific narrative elements right there on the spot.
Please describe Generative AI for the entrepreneurs and parents of our audience, in your own words.
Generative AI basically enables software and machines to do what has been the exclusive domains of humans to this point. Which is two things. First, to learn - to read and self-expand knowledge and content. The second - as the name suggests - is to GENERATE new things.
Why are apps using this technology becoming such a trend?
Because the possibilities are endless. SmartDreams is a great example of that. We took something creative young kids ask parents everyday and put generative AI to work to create personal, unique bedtime stories based on your child’s own imagination.
Do you see any dangerous implications with the path ahead when it comes to powerful technologies like ChatGPT or Generative AI?
All technologies - really all human progress - can have dangerous implications. We have already seen how social media platforms like Twitter can both be a force for such good - immediately spreading information about natural disasters and available help, and such bad - amplifying the voices of the hate-filled fringe amongst us.
Why have you moved from Healthcare to children’s/lifestyle application development?
We haven’t moved, we’ve expanded. The very nature of being an entrepreneur is to be creative and think of new ideas.
Share a little bit about your professional background and why parents should look into SmartDreams for their children?
Renee is a medical doctor, Nick is an engineer and serial entrepreneur. We are first generation immigrants (from India) and education and family are extremely important to us for our three kids - as I am sure is true for most parents. SmartDreams is first and foremost a way to make the bedtime story ritual that much more creative, fun and interactive.
