AI Platform
Storaiverse — AI Book Creation & Publishing Platform
A full-stack AI book creation and print-on-demand SaaS for a US creative-tech startup — users author books through voice or text interviews, generate AI illustrations and character art, review a rendered manuscript, and complete purchase, all the way to physical hardcover delivery via the Lulu Print API.

The Challenge
The problem we set out to solve.
Aspiring authors faced a fragmented, high-friction journey — writing tools, cover design, formatting and print fulfilment all lived in disconnected products. There was no single platform that could take a raw creative idea from first word to physical book without requiring design or publishing expertise.
Our Approach
How we approached it.
We scoped a five-frame experience that hid the complexity of generative AI behind a single linear journey: interview, generate, review, pay, fulfil. Each frame had to deliver a complete artefact the author could approve before the next began.
What We Built
The features that made it work.
The platform pairs an OpenAI Whisper + GPT-4 interview engine — building a locked BookSpec JSON from voice or text — with a real-time manuscript and artifact generator producing character sketches and environment art via DALL-E. A DocRaptor-powered renderer generates 2-page spread previews; Stripe handles billing and subscriptions; and a live 4-stage fulfilment tracker is driven by Lulu Print API webhooks. Everything sits on a Python / PostgreSQL API with AWS S3 media storage.
