Description
[summary]: K-Classic transforms Korean classical literature into a personalized, immersive fairy tale experience. Users upload their photo, and AI places their face into iconic scenes from works like Guunmong and Simcheongjeon — generating illustrated storybook slides with AI-voiced narration in 4 languages (Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese).
[Problem it solves]: Korean classical literature has a high cultural and linguistic barrier for both Korean youth and global audiences. K-Classic lowers that barrier by making the stories personal, visual, and emotionally engaging — turning passive reading into an interactive AI storytelling experience powered by Gemini's image generation, multimodal analysis, and text-to-speech capabilities.
