Built an AI coloring page tool - curious about your thoughts on AI in kids' creativity

Hey everyone!

I've been working on this AI tool that turns text descriptions into coloring pages, and honestly, I'm still figuring out if I'm solving a real problem or just building something cool that nobody needs 😅

The backstory:

Started this as a weekend project when my niece asked me to draw her a unicorn coloring page and I realized I can't draw to save my life. Thought "what if AI could do this?" and here we are a few months later.

What it does:

• Type something like "cute dragon eating pizza" → get a coloring page

• Upload a photo → converts to line art

• Turn names into fancy bubble letters

• Also has an online coloring tool because why not

My questions for you:

Do your kids actually want personalized coloring pages, or am I overthinking this? I've had some teachers reach out saying they use it for classroom activities, which was unexpected.

Also, as parents - do you think AI-generated creative tools help or hurt kids' imagination? I go back and forth on this.

The reality:

Some days I think this could be useful for busy parents and teachers. Other days I wonder if I'm just contributing to more screen time when kids should be drawing with actual crayons.

If you want to check it out: GenColoring AI (fair warning - the UI is still pretty rough around the edges)

Mainly curious: Have you tried any AI tools with your kids? What worked? What felt weird or forced?

Would love honest feedback - even if it's "this is dumb, kids should just use regular coloring books" 😂
