Brainfusion makes children’s books from difficult, fact-based source material — true stories, told for young readers, made entirely on our own hardware with local AI and a human editor. Below you will find both the Dutch and the English editions.
🇳🇱 Nederlandse boeken
Acht kinderboeken in het Nederlands, voor drie leeftijdsgroepen (3–5, 6–10 en 11–17), gemaakt uit Engelse bron met een vertaalpijplijn.
🇬🇧 English books
Three children’s books in English, for ages 6–10 and 11–17, written natively in English from an English source — no translation step.
How we make these books
These books are a work in progress. We make them with local AI on our own hardware — which is expensive (a high-end MacBook Pro M5 Max, FLUX.1-dev image generation, several large language models running at once). The process is one of trial and error: we correct the models, we correct the scripts, and we experiment with whether to give the AI strict instructions or let it find its own way. The results vary a lot depending on those choices — a strict creative brief gives a tighter story; a loose brief gives more freedom but less consistency. We are still learning what works best.
Every book is checked by automated self-checks (required facts, timing, repetition, image consistency) and then edited by hand. The AI is a tool; the human has the final word. Read more about the pipeline and the checks on our AI and Translation page.
Work with us
We are happy to work with others. If you have difficult content — a text, a PDF, or a video — that contains facts, sources and grown-up issues, and you want it turned into a children’s book that explains the core more clearly and gently, we would like to help. Think of the approach Connor Boyack took with The Tuttle Twins: taking complex ideas and making them accessible for young readers. Get in touch if you have a source you would like us to work with.
We need your help
Making these books takes serious hardware. A single illustrated book can take hours of GPU time, and we want to make more books, for more age groups, in more languages. You can help:
Every donation goes toward better hardware so we can make more books, faster, and keep everything open and local.
