# Storybench Storybench is a web tool for independent creators to make illustrated BOOKS where YOU write every word and the AI only illustrates, and only your characters, who stay consistent on every page. Creators build a cast and world once; every page inherits them automatically, so the same character looks like herself from page one to the end. The creator authors the text and directs the look. AI is the tool, not the author: it never writes your story, only draws it. No auto-written plots, no slop. ## Who it's for Independent book creators with no illustration background: parents, teachers, writers, and picture-book and comic makers. Children's picture books are the leading use case. ## How it's different - Author-owned and anti-slop: you write every word and direct the look; the AI never writes your story, it only illustrates it. - A persistent cast that stays consistent across every page of a book (the hardest problem in AI illustration), and only your characters appear. - Build the world once, reuse it across every book; the second book is faster than the first. ## What you can publish - A print-ready PDF for KDP and print-on-demand - An EPUB ebook - Image files of every page, to share anywhere ## Key pages - / - /how-it-works - /for-creators - /features ## Contact https://storybench.app
