Sarid: Arabic Storyteller Using a Fine-Tuned LLM and Text-to-Image Generation

Sarid is an Arabic children’s story generator that combines AI-powered text and image generation. Through the utilization of OpenAl and Midjourney, we created a fine-tuned large language model that generates Arabic stories customized for the user. On the website, the user provides a description and selects the character, age, word count, tone, and theme of their story, which will be sent to the fine-tuned model and text-to-image generator. Sarid aims to fill the gap in Arabic storytelling and provides an interactive and immersive experience for young readers.
