When you start creating a story on Nookly, you'll be asked to choose how you'd like to collaborate. Your choice will depend on how much you'd like to be involved in shaping the story.

Here's a breakdown of each mode to help you decide.

Best for: Parents and educators who have a clear vision and want the story to feel deeply personal.

This is the most collaborative mode. Nookly will walk you through a series of questions to understand exactly what you're looking for — from the emotional tone and reading style, to who should appear in the story and what your child loves most.

You'll get to choose things like:

The more you share, the more personalized the story. Think of it as co-writing with Nookly — you bring the vision, Nookly brings the magic.

Best for: Those who want some control without going through every detail.

In this mode, you adjust the major settings — like the topic, length, and a few key preferences — and Nookly fills in the rest creatively. It's a great middle ground if you have a general idea of what you want but are happy to let Nookly make some of the creative calls.

You stay in the driver's seat for the big decisions, without needing to think through every detail.

Best for: Anyone who wants a creatie, ready-to-go story with minimal effort.

Nookly will use its own creative vision to craft a story from start to finish. No questions, no decisions, just a story ready for you to review and enjoy.

This mode is perfect when you're short on time or simply want to be surprised by what Nookly creates.
