Janus 1

What it does

Janus is a unique app that turns reading into an interactive adventure where you control the story. At the end of each scene, you're given choices that shape the direction of the tale, making each story truly your own. Customize your experience by naming your character, selecting the genre, language, and length, and adding personal descriptions. The app also features an "Easy Read Stories" mode for improved accessibility, particularly for those with cognitive disabilities.

How We Use Gemini API:
- Story Initialization: Gemini uses your preferences to generate the initial story setup.
- Scene Generation: After the start text is created, Gemini generates the first scene, including the title, description, and two choices.
- Seamless Transition: While you interact with the current scene, Gemini pre-generates the next 2 possible scenes based on your choices, ensuring immediate responses.
- Summary Creation: At the end of your story, Gemini generates a concise, spoiler-free summary using the first two scenes and your choices. We use the summary on our Explore page.
- Story So Far: Gemini compiles all previous scenes into a summary, helping you remember what has happened as you continue the story.

We use the Google Text-To-Speech feature to narrate the stories to make them more engaging and also let the blind people follow along.

Janus, powered by Gemini, offers a unique, customizable, and accessible storytelling experience, making every story you read a personal adventure.
