When we first launched Alson.AI, we thought most people would want to publish on Amazon. And many do. But then… we started getting these beautiful messages. Not asking about royalties. Not asking about marketing. Just:

And along with it, we opened the Alson Library, a digital global library inspired by the many Free Little Libraries we see tucked into neighborhoods around Seattle and beyond.

A space for the stories we almost didn’t tell. Take one. Cheer one on. And when you’re ready, share your own. Because stories grow best when we share them.

Stories have always been how we tell the truth, the deepest kind. They shape memory. Spark movements. Build legacy. Platforms like TED, Instagram, TikTok, and even LinkedIn have all become stages for storytelling.

But before we watched others tell stories on stages, we told them ourselves. As siblings making up bedtime tales. As friends on playgrounds. As roommates retelling a night out like it was mythic lore. We didn’t tell stories to impress. We told them to connect. To laugh. To feel seen. Somewhere along the way, we forgot we still could.

Now it is. With Alson.AI — a generative AI platform that helps anyone turn ideas, or that dusty manuscript, into illustrated books and animated videos in minutes. No design background. No publishing knowledge. No “perfect” story required. Just your voice, typed out in words.

Since soft launch, we’ve seen hundreds of stories come to life. We’ve shared a few of our favorites on our homepage.

The next great story isn’t out there. It’s probably already inside you. So go ahead. Tell it. We’ll take care of the rest.
