A new app called Slumber Stories uses artificial intelligence to help parents write bedtime stories for their kids, TechCrunch reports.
The app tells stories based on a child's interests, "complete with moral lessons woven into captivating narratives," according to a press release.
"By automating the storytelling process, Slumber Stories alleviates the pressure on parents to constantly come up with new and imaginative stories, allowing them to unwind and connect with their children in a meaningful way," the press release states.
According to TechCrunch, the app is currently only available in the US, but it's expected to be released in other countries soon.
