How to Generate Interactive AI Stories with Pictures and Audio Narration on Glimora
Creating AI-generated stories used to require technical knowledge and multiple tools. Now, with Glimora, it's as simple as choosing a genre or writing a prompt. In under a minute, you'll have an interactive story with custom images, audio narration, and choices that shape your narrative.
Behind the scenes, Glimora uses Google Gemini for text generation, AI image generation for illustrations, and text-to-speech for narration. Here's how to create your first story.
Step 1: Sign up and get free credits
Visit glimora.ai, click Account, then Register. Enter your email and password.
You get 2 free credits automatically - no credit card required.
What are credits? Each story step costs 1 credit. With 2 credits, you can start a story and make your first choice or try out 2 different genres.
Step 2: Choose your story type
After logging in, you'll see the story creation page. You have two options:
Option A: Write a custom prompt
- Example: "A detective investigating a mysterious disappearance in a small town"
- Be specific about setting and character
- Keep it to 1-2 sentences
Option B: Select a genre
Choose from Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Horror, or Adventure. The AI creates an appropriate story automatically.
Important: Use either a prompt OR a genre - not both.
Step 3: Upload your photo (optional)
Glimora's unique feature lets you become the main character. Upload a photo and the AI generates you into the story with consistent appearances.
Best practices:
- Clear, front-facing photo
- Good lighting, simple background
- No sunglasses or filters
- JPEG, PNG, or WebP (max 10MB)
This step is completely optional.
Step 4: Generate your story
Click the purple arrow button (→). You'll see a progress bar.
Wait 20-45 seconds while Glimora:
- Generates story text with Google Gemini
- Creates a custom illustration
- Produces audio narration
- Saves everything to cloud storage
If generation fails, your credit is automatically refunded.
Step 5: Read and experience your story
Your story includes:
- Custom AI illustration - Unique image for the scene
- Story text - Engaging narrative
- Audio player - Natural voice narration
- Interactive choices - Two options (or write your own) to continue
Click play to hear the narration. Scroll down to see the choice buttons.
Step 6: Make choices to continue
At the bottom, you'll see two pre-written choices or a text box to write your own continuation.
Click a choice → Wait 20-45 seconds → 1 credit deducted → Next scene appears.
Every choice matters. The AI remembers everything and adapts the story based on your decisions.
