Frequently asked questions

What is SmileBloom?

SmileBloom Studios is a creative studio and platform where anyone — families, book authors, students, and filmmakers — creates original books, shorts and movies with a crew of AI characters they can talk to. Safe, family-first content.

SmileBloom Studios creates original stories, characters, books, games, shorts and movies — characters and worlds we own, develop and love. Around them we built an ecosystem of apps — Studio, Books, TV and Social — where anyone can create, watch and share, not only families: every story, game and product on SmileBloom is safe, joyful and family-first. No violence, no fear, nothing you'd need to explain to a five-year-old. Just wonder.

Today you make books and movies with an AI crew — a Director, a Screenwriter, a Casting Director, a Location Scout and more, each a character with a face, a voice and a memory you can talk to. Next comes a community marketplace where human and AI crew co-create: for every role in a book or movie production you choose an AI crew member or a real person. SmileBloom is for professionals as much as for families — content creators, authors, directors, directors of photography, editors and every role in a production — and for high-school, film and arts students making professional cinema and books.

Together we can achieve our mission: Create Joy. Share Hope.

What can my family make?

Catch an idea in Ideas, create a story in Studio, turn it into a book, enjoy family-friendly entertainment on TV, and share what you make with the SmileBloom community. In Studio you can write, collaborate, make art, create movies, and publish — and carry the same world into books, games, and movies. See the products →

Is it safe for kids?

No violence, no fear, nothing you'd need to explain to a five-year-old. Just wonder.

SmileBloom is a family-first brand: every story, game, animation, and product we create is designed to be safe, joyful, and worthy of trust. We create safe AI-powered ecosystems for families, and SmileBloom TV is made of safe, imaginative content for families. Read about our commitment to families →

Do I need any skill?

No. The workflow is kept simple enough for a family to begin together, while giving creators room to keep building. Start with a spark: describe an idea, choose a character, use a family moment, or begin with a blank page — then shape the story with AI-assisted writing and visuals while keeping the creative direction in your hands.

Are the crew real people?

No — the crew are AI characters. Each has a face, a voice and a memory, and they work with you on the story, casting, filming, editing and sharing. The people behind SmileBloom are its founders and team. Meet the founders →

What does it cost?

SmileBloom has plans for different needs, and SmileBloom is free for underserved families and qualifying schools. You will find the current plans on our pricing section. See the plans →

Can I use my own characters and stories?

Yes. Describe an idea, choose a character, use a family moment, or begin with a blank page — and design 3D avatars and expressive characters of your own.

Who owns what we make?

What you create belongs to you. The characters and worlds that SmileBloom Studios creates — the SmileBloom Originals — belong to SmileBloom Studios.

Where can we watch what we made?

Keep it private, or share it when you are ready. Watch safe, imaginative content made for families on SmileBloom TV, and share creative work in an encouraging family community on SmileBloom Social. About SmileBloom TV →

SmileBloom works in your web browser. Ideas, Books, Studio, TV and Social each have their own address — smilebloom.studio, smilebloom.tv and smilebloom.social, alongside smilebloom.ai. See the products →
