Google has launched a new feature within its Gemini app called Storybook, aimed at providing an interactive and creative learning tool for Nigeria’s 39 million children aged six and under. The AI-powered feature transforms simple prompts, personal photos, and children’s drawings into customised, narrated storybooks.
The launch addresses the need for engaging and accessible educational content in a country with a rich storytelling tradition. “It addresses a real need for parents and educators who are looking for fresh ways to captivate the minds of our youngest learners,” said Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, communications & public affairs manager for Google in West Africa.
Storybook provides an interactive digital alternative that’s tailored to each child, offering a new creative outlet for Nigerian families. The tool enables personal expression through storytelling, allowing individuals to craft educational tales about local culture, funny stories for friends, and personalised gifts for loved ones.
The AI-powered feature bridges the gap in early childhood education by empowering anyone to create personalised learning experiences. With its unique blend of technology rooted in storytelling, Storybook is poised to revolutionise the way children learn in Nigeria.
