Story

Story.com is an AI-powered creative platform for turning text ideas, prompts and scripts into video and book-format stories. The platform is organized around four products: Instamovies, an AI shorts generator that produces a complete short video with visuals, voiceover and music from a text prompt in roughly 60 seconds; Storybook Publisher, which writes, illustrates and lays out storybooks with consistent characters and print-ready output supporting Amazon KDP publishing workflows; an AI Video Editor, a timeline-based editor for projects of unlimited length with AI assistance for pacing, cuts, transitions, voiceovers and subtitles; and Storyboarding, which converts scripts or scene descriptions into storyboard frames for pre-production visualization.

The company frames its offering as two modes in one workflow — fast generation from a prompt or script, and controlled timeline-based editing — positioning itself between one-click generators and professional editing suites. Its latest product, AI Studio, is a timeline-based editor with an agentic "AI Movie Agent," built-in narration, dialogue and voice generation, integrations of third-party generative models such as Veo 3 and Kling, and support for feature-length projects rather than only short clips. Instamovies outputs are targeted at social distribution, with 15–90 second lengths and vertical (9:16) and horizontal (16:9) formats aimed at TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels. A separate AI story generator surface lets users create interactive stories across more than 20 genres, with branching choices and consistent characters, and convert any story into a narrated video.

Story.com also supports multi-language AI voiceover and text generation, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, and grants users full commercial rights to generated content, subject to terms prohibiting content that infringes copyright, trademark or platform policies.

Founding story

Story.com was founded in 2024 by tech entrepreneur Steven Ebin, starting from the observation that AI systems could generate individual images and clips but could not produce a coherent story. The team says it had previously started one of the largest storytelling podcasts and built a storytelling product before setting out to make prompt-to-story creation simple.

Business model

Consumer/creator self-serve software delivered through the web. Users create accounts and consume platform credits for generative operations, while planning and drafting stages are offered at no cost as an entry point.

Pay-per-use credits rather than subscriptions. Published credit packs are $10 for 1,000 credits, $20 for 2,000 credits and $50 for 5,000 credits, and credits are stated not to expire. Scripts, planning, storyboard outlines and initial storybook creation are free, while video and image generation, regenerations, exports, voiceovers and AI scenes consume credits. Earlier Product Hunt materials referenced a free Starter Plan and watermarked video output for unpaid accounts.

Traction

The company reports more than 1 million users of Story.com across stories, storybooks, videos and visual plans. Its Product Hunt profile shows 302 followers, a 3.0 average rating from one review, and 175 upvote points on a launch listing.

Latest developments

The most recent product release is AI Studio, a timeline-based AI video editor with an integrated agentic AI movie agent, built-in narration, dialogue and voice generation, integrations of newly released models such as Veo 3 and Kling, and support for long-form, feature-length projects.
