How it works

How Ink & Brave works

Your child invents the story with you: the world, drawing style, hero and wish. If you like, you add one thing that would help them. A person reads the brief and within 2 working days we send you a free drawing of the hero. If you love it, you pay once — a story for €9.90 (1 story · 16 pages) or a whole adventure for €24.90 (3 stories · 48 pages), as a storybook or a comic. AI writes and draws the story following our rules, a person checks every page, and within 3 working days of payment the story is in your inbox (an adventure then story by story).

Five steps from idea to book

Sample comic drawing featuring a child hero.
First, a drawing. For free.
  1. child with a parent · 5–15 minutes

    Your child invents the story

    With a few taps they pick a world and a drawing style, build their hero and say what they want to happen. You help younger children. If you prefer, we choose the world and style by age.

  2. parent · 3 minutes

    You choose a comic or a storybook

    A storybook (read by a parent, text below the picture) or a comic with speech bubbles, 16 pages per story — one story or a whole adventure of three. If you like, you add one thing that would help your child — such as handling anger or fear.

  3. our team · drawing within 2 working days

    A person reads the brief, the drawing is free

    Before anything is written or drawn. Then we send you a drawing with your child as the hero — free. You pay only if you love it.

  4. after payment · one payment

    You pay once, AI writes and draws the book

    Only after you pay. Following our rules for the age and in the style your child chose. A surname, school or address never goes to the AI.

  5. within 3 working days of payment

    A person checks every page

    Story, pictures, text and bubbles. Then we send you a reading link and a PDF.

Aids included

Pick glasses, hearing aids, ear defenders, an arm sensor, an eye patch or a wheelchair (for now the wheelchair only in some drawing styles) from the pictures in the character builder — we don’t need a diagnosis. The world adapts the aid (waterproof hearing aids under the sea, glasses with a strap in the Ninja Dojo) but never removes it. The story isn’t about the aid: it’s about the adventure your child invents. AI does the drawing and a person checks every page — including whether the aid is right and stays the same from start to finish.

From stories to everyday life

One complete story in one book

Each story is complete, with a beginning and an end — nothing to top up. An adventure is three such stories with the same hero. First of all a gripping plot; if you added one thing that would help your child, it is tucked inside: the hero meets it, tries it and uses it on their own at the end. That’s why not everything works out for them straight away. Another story with the same hero — only when you want it.

  1. Meets it

    The hero sets off on the adventure their own way. Something goes wrong — and on the way they discover what helps.

  2. Tries it

    In a harder moment they try again — with the words your child came up with.

  3. Uses it

    At the end the hero manages on their own and helps another character too. The last page shows the same step at home or at school.

Frequently asked questions

How long until I get the book?

We send the free drawing of the hero within 2 working days of your brief. After payment a story arrives within 3 working days; for an adventure, the next stories follow one by one, each at most 3 working days after the previous. It isn’t instant because a person reads every brief first, then AI writes and draws the story, and a person checks every page.

What’s the difference between the comic and the storybook?

A story as a storybook has 16 pages: on each a big picture with a few sentences below, read by a parent — best for ages 4–5 and bedtime. The comic also has 16 pages, with panels and speech bubbles the child reads — from age 6. You choose; both are a complete story with a cover and cost the same.

What format is the book in?

A digital book: you get an email with a link to read it on a phone, tablet or computer, and a PDF to download and print at home. A story arrives whole, an adventure story by story. We don’t sell printed books yet.

What does my child choose, and what do I choose?

Your child invents the story: the world, drawing style, hero and wish. You choose a comic or a storybook, one story or a whole adventure, pay and, if you like, add one thing for them to practise gently in the story. You don’t overrule your child’s choices — if needed, you adjust them together.

Is it drawn by artificial intelligence?

Yes, AI creates the text and images following our rules, and a person checks every page. Every book is labelled “made with the help of AI, checked by a person”.

Can we order another story with the same hero?

Yes. Another story is a new complete tale — only when you want it; three stories at once make an adventure. You order it in your family account; we don’t redraw the hero.

Do I need a password?

You don’t have to. Your family account is created by itself when you pay for the book — you sign in with a link we email to your order email. The first time, you set a parent PIN. You can set a password later in the account if you like.

How does my child get to their comics?

Once signed in, your child sees only their comics, their hero and games — no prices, payments or email. Payments, orders and settings sit in the For parents area behind a parent PIN; it locks itself after 15 minutes. Your child has no email or password of their own.

See the hero on the drawing before you pay.

Send a brief — we draw your child as the hero for free. Then a story for €9.90 (1 story · 16 pages) or a whole adventure for €24.90 (3 stories · 48 pages), as a storybook or a comic, paid once. Until you open the book, you can cancel it and we refund the full amount.
