How to write a bedtime story with AI

Are your children tired of hearing the same bedtime stories over and over again? Did you forget to pack a book to read to them before bed on vacation? Copilot can help you generate entertaining bedtime stories in a pinch or just for fun. Save your favorite stories to read in the future or create a new engaging story each evening. Learn how Copilot can help you write personalized bedtime stories to lull your kids to sleep.

Copilot can help you write just about anything: emails, blog posts, outlines, and, yes, even bedtime stories! Simply prompt Copilot with whatever you need it to write, and it will generate a draft in seconds. You can play with your request to create stories in different styles, tones, languages, and lengths.

Here is where the fun begins! Creating your bedtime story prompt can be as much fun as reading the story itself. The more specifics you add in, the more you can make the story your own. Here are a few ways to design prompts and specific prompts to try when you use Copilot as your AI bedtime story generator:

• By age. Write a bedtime story for a five-year-old.
• Place- and name-specific. Write a bedtime story set in Tallahassee featuring a character named “Bobby.”
• By topic. Write a bedtime story about constellations.
  
• Themed. We love dragons and castles. Write a bedtime story that makes us feel like we are visiting a fantastical kingdom.
  
• With hidden words. Create a bedtime story that includes these five words or phases: triumph, blueberry, circle time, comet, fluff.
  
• By challenge. Write a bedtime story about a little girl standing up to bullies and saving the day.
  
• By date or event. Write a bedtime story that happens on the Fourth of July.
  
• By style. Write a bedtime story in the style of a fairytale that happens in modern times.
  
• All of the above. Write a bedtime story for a five-year-old set in Tallahassee on the topic of constellations and featuring a character named “Bobby.” Make it feel like we are visiting a fantastical kingdom with dragons and castles, and include these five words or phrases: triumph, blueberry, circle time, comet, fluff. Have a little girl stand up to bullies on the Fourth of July and write the story like a fairytale.
  

And this is just the start! What else could you include in your bedtime story prompt? The sky’s the limit.

Try these tips to create and enjoy AI-generated bedtime stories you’ll love:

• Personalize your story. Why not incorporate the family pet in your bedtime story? Tell Copilot specific details about your pet like its name, gender, breed, and appearance, and the AI-powered tool will create an endearing story about your pet.
• Use Copilot for research. If you want to create a unique bedtime story but don’t know where to start, Copilot can help. For example, you can ask Copilot about popular children’s story themes, or examples of popular bedtime stories for inspiration.
  
• Save your stories. You may want to copy and paste your story into Word or OneDrive to revisit the story in the future. Select the rectangular Copy button at the lower-right of the Copilot preview window to quickly copy and paste the story.
  
• Add images for your bedtime story. Try using Copilot to create pictures that will go along with your story. You can add the images to your Word doc or use PowerPoint for an authentic storybook format.
  

With Copilot, you and your family can create exciting bedtime stories and fun memories at the same time. Try Copilot when you want to make an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind bedtime story your family will love.
