BackstoryAI helps you create characters. Using cutting-edge generative AI technology, BackstoryAI generates engaging biographies and stories for your characters.

Hey folks! While I had some time off between jobs, I wanted to explore AI a bit, so I built BackstoryAI – a website that lets you create characters and stories about them using generative AI. It's free to try – here's how to get started: 1️⃣ Go to the website and click Login on the top right. You can login with your Google or Facebook account, or you can just register an account with your email address. 2️⃣ Create a persona. You can either have it surprise you with a random character or you can give it some input like your character's name, occupation, or personality traits. Then, BackstoryAI will generate a biography and photo of your character. 3️⃣ Add a story about your new character. There's a big Create Story button right under your character's biography. If you're not sure what to make a story about, you can use the 🔀 shuffle button to get some fun AI-generated ideas. 4️⃣ Share your favorite stories in the thread here. There's a Share button under each story, so you can get a link and share it here and with your friends too.

Congrats on your launch! Very neat product and innovative use cases. In terms of feedback, I'd love to be able to click on the use cases on the bottom and see those specific personas. (Just a hyperlink to each) Best of luck with this! Looking forward to seeing how people use it.

@esus very interesting idea, congratulations on the launch!

Good job Congratulations keep it up

Helping users create characters & stories using AI sounds really interesting. All the best!! P.S. Almost every highest-upvoted product on ProductHunt has a video along with the screenshot slides. I sincerely advise you to create a simple Animated Explainer video by yourself if you have the time and expertise or outsource it to a professional. An intriguing video can do wonders to your promotions, it's been proven again and again.

BackstoryAI is a nice tool for writers. It generates compelling character backgrounds and stories, making character development a breeze.

Congrats on the launch! A useful tool for getting inspiration by writing. Everything works great by trying, except sometimes the images may not be relevant to the persona. I got a butterfly for a girl character xD
