Every personalized learning journey on Nookly begins with a character that feels just like your child. Whether you’re creating for a student, your child, or a whole classroom, you have three ways to bring a character to life, and the freedom to choose the one that works best for you!
Once you create a child profile, it’s saved for all future creations. Just click on the profile you’d like to feature whenever you start creating.
✨ Option 1: Enter Child Details
Build your child’s avatar from scratch by entering a few details and customizing their appearance. You can add in their details in the form and also describe them in the chat!
👉 Once you add in all your details, click on "Cast hero."
🎨 Their character will now appear across all visuals you create, and the profile will always be ready to reuse in the future!
📷 Option 2: Upload a Photo
This option lets you upload a real photo of your kiddo, and we’ll turn it into a custom character with our AI magic!
💫 How it works:
1️⃣ Click "Upload a Photo." Your photo stays private and secure—it’s only used to create the character and never shared elsewhere.
Photo tips for the best results:
The child should be facing the camera directly.
Good lighting helps the AI generate better visuals.
Avoid group shots or blurry images.
2️⃣ Add your kiddo’s details (name, gender, ethnicity, and age) in the chat.
👉 Once you add in all your details, click on "Cast hero."
🎨 Our AI will then transforms the photo into a Nookly character! The result is a storybook-style avatar that looks just like your child, and they’ll love seeing themselves in every adventure!
🔒 Privacy Note: Your photo stays private and secure. It is only used for generating the character and is never stored or shared elsewhere.
Once your child’s character is generated, you’ll be able to select the same profile to use across all personalized content!
🌟 Option 3: Let Nookly do it's Magic
Want a quick start? Skip the details and let Nookly generate a character at random.
You’ll still be able to reuse this profile and update it anytime later!
