About CoCoBun

We're building the world where kids create, not just consume.

CoCoBun is an AI storytelling app for children ages 3 and up, made by a small team of parents and technologists in California.

Our mission

Every child's dream, made into their own story world.

Most kids' apps hand children something to watch. We wanted the opposite - a place where the child is the author, the director and the star.

Why we built it

It started with one child who didn't fit the stories.

"Nothing on the market was built for how my son actually thinks."

Our founder's son is on the autism spectrum, with a language delay and ADHD. Story time never worked - everything out there was either too babyish or assumed a neurotypical mind.

So she began hand-building stories for him. CoCoBun is that process, automated - a story shaped by how a child actually thinks, not just how old they are.

What CoCoBun is

A creativity playground, not another story app.
