What is Black Horse?
In short: Black Horse is an app and website that uses AI to write personalised stories for children aged 2–10. A parent picks the child's name, age, gender, favourite topics, story type and length (3, 5 or 10 minutes), and within seconds Black Horse writes an age-appropriate, illustrated story starring that child, which can also be narrated aloud. There is also a growing story library rated by other families.
Who writes the stories?
The stories are told by the app's storyteller, Black Horse: a small, friendly black foal with a golden star on its forehead and a purple mane. Behind it is an AI language model, while Black Horse's rules work like a children's book editor: short sentences, words that fit the child's age, a problem that is never scary, and a calm, warm ending.
Who is it for?
Parents and grandparents looking for a new bedtime story every night, and anyone who loves reading together with a child. Stories are written in English, German and Turkish, so bilingual families can use the same account in different languages.
How is it different from other story apps?
- Not random text: every story follows rules for age, length and story type.
- Your child's name isn't just in the title — your child is the hero of the whole story.
- Names are handled correctly in every language, including Turkish suffixes and the German genitive.
- Library stories rise to the top through other families' ratings.
- No ads, no chat, no contact between users.
