KOBI Introduces "StoryShaker," an AI-Powered Tool That Lets Students Create High-Quality Educational Stories in Three Simple Steps

Vrtojba, 5. 5. 2025 - KOBI, the reading platform that guides children from early decoding to confident, fluent comprehension, today unveiled StoryShaker, a new feature that transforms every learner into an author in three engaging steps. Students pick different topics, choose their age and preferred length, and an age‐appropriate story appears instantly inside the KOBI Reader. Because StoryShaker is built directly into the platform, children can immediately decode new words with KOBI's phonics scaffolds and then discuss their freshly minted tale through ThinkTalk, KOBI's conversational comprehension coach.

StoryShaker - and the entire KOBI platform - aligns with federal guidance calling for foundational AI literacy and critical‐thinking skills in every elementary school classroom. By giving students hands‐on experience shaping AI output, showing exactly how prompts influence the final text, and providing educator oversight, StoryShaker advances that vision while modeling responsible, inquiry‐driven use of generative AI to expand imagination and gain new knowledge.

"StoryShaker lets kids create the stories they want to read while learning to guide AI thoughtfully and safely," said Ursula Lavrencic, CEO and Co-founder of KOBI. "Paired with ThinkTalk, it delivers a full cycle: create, decode, and discuss - empowering critical thinking at every step."

KOBI also leverages state‐of‐the‐art image‐generation models to tailor illustration styles to each child's age.

StoryShaker is already available to all KOBI parent accounts, while schools and districts can request a 30‐minute live demo to see StoryShaker - and ThinkTalk - in action.
