What started as a mission to democratize storytelling is no longer just about access. It is a revolution to set stories free.

When we first launched Alson.AI, we assumed most of the magic would end with publishing. A story finished. A book on Kindle. And many do love that, as we do too. But soon, we realized something else was happening: people were not just creating to publish, they were lingering to read. We received messages like:

The truth is, our community is not only made up of creators. They are readers too, hungry for inspiration, comfort, and surprise. And for too long, their experience of reading on Alson.AI looked like what it was: a bare PDF, optimized for Kindle to do the reading magic later. But not anymore.

We have redesigned our reading experience on desktop and mobile to feel immersive. A place where you do not just skim a page. You can linger, wander, and get lost. Because when creators also become readers, they become better storytellers. And when readers feel at home, stories can travel even further. It is a small change. But one that makes a world of difference.

So if you have ever opened a book not to study it, but to fall into it. We built this for you.

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.
