Welcome to Lulawe. In a few minutes you'll have a personalized story that puts your child in the spotlight, alongside characters and settings they love. Here's how to get there.
Step 1: Create a Story Profile
A profile stores the details that make each story feel personal. You'll set this up once, and Lulawe uses it automatically for every story you generate.
Open the app and tap New Profile. You'll be asked for:
- Character name — the name used for the main character (any name or nickname works)
- Age group — pick a rough range (e.g. 2–4, 5–7, 8–10) so stories are tuned to the right vocabulary and complexity
- Favourite things — animals, colours, hobbies, foods. The more detail you add, the richer the stories
You can create multiple profiles. Siblings each get their own, and you can generate stories featuring two children together.
Step 2: Choose a Story Style
Lulawe offers several narrative styles:
| Style | Best for | Tone |
|---|---|---|
| Adventure | Ages 4–8 | Exciting, upbeat |
| Cosy | Ages 2–6 | Gentle, warm |
| Funny | Ages 5–10 | Silly, playful |
| Brave | Ages 3–7 | Reassuring, empowering |
The Cosy style is designed for gentle, warm stories with soft stakes and a reassuring ending.
Step 3: Generate Your Story
Tap Create Story and select your child's profile. Lulawe generates a unique story in about 10 seconds.
Each story is different. If you generate the same settings twice, you'll get two distinct narratives — same characters, different adventure.
Tips for Better Stories
- Add seasonal context in the profile notes ("it's winter, hot chocolate is a favourite right now")
- Mention current interests — if they're obsessed with dinosaurs this month, add it. Lulawe will weave it in
- Use the regenerate button freely — if the first story isn't quite right, one tap generates a fresh version
Step 4: Read or Listen
Stories can be read on-screen or listened to with our narrated audio mode. Audio mode uses a warm, natural voice that makes each story feel easy to enjoy together.
You can also save stories to your library and read them again on nights when you need a familiar favourite.
What's Next
Once you've got your first story, try creating a second version with a different character, setting, or theme. Small changes can turn the same memory into a brand-new adventure.
Happy storytelling.
