The Distance That Inspired Connection
Distance doesn't have to mean disconnect.
For Korean families where parents work long hours, grandparents live in different cities, or loved ones are overseas, StoryBridge brings voices home.
Our AI-powered plush companion delivers bedtime stories in the authentic voice of family membersâno screens, just comfort and connection.

Our Story: Holger & Billy

Holger: After my mother passed, I watched my father's stories fade. I wanted to preserve family legacy for future generations.
Billy: My grandson lives in Brazil. I longed to read him bedtime stories, but the screens weren't the answer. We needed something better.
Together, we built StoryBridgeâa bridge between hearts, across any distance. For Korean families balancing work, education, and connection, StoryBridge keeps love close.

Q&A - Support Section
Q: How safe is AI voice cloning for children?
A: Only approved family members can record voices. All voice data is encrypted with bank-level security, GDPR-compliant, and requires parental approval. Voices are never shared publicly or with third parties.
Q: Will my child really learn English from bedtime stories?
A: StoryBridge offers gentle, natural exposureânot intensive drilling. Stories are primarily Korean with English words woven in, allowing gradual vocabulary building during optimal learning time (pre-sleep). This complements formal education without pressure.
Q: Does StoryBridge require internet connection?
A: Core features work offline once stories are downloaded. Voice recording and new story generation require initial internet connection, but playback is offline-ready.
Q: What safety certifications will the bear have?
A: StoryBridge will complete KC (Korea Certification) testing before shipping, ensuring compliance with Korean child safety standards. Premium child-safe materials throughout.
Q: Can multiple family members record their voices?
A: Yes! Parents, grandparents, and approved family members can all record. Children can choose whose voice they want for each story.
Q: What happens to our voice data if we want to stop using StoryBridge?
A: You can delete all data at any time through the app. Once deleted, voice recordings are permanently removed from our serversâno questions asked.
Q: How long do voice recordings need to be for cloning?
A: Approximately 2-5 minutes of clear speech provides excellent results, although 30 minutes of voice recordings gives best results. Our app guides you through the simple recording process.
Q: Is the Beta App available in Korean?
A: Yes! The Beta App supports Korean interface and Korean-English bilingual story generation, specifically designed for Korean families.
Q: What is the Refund Policy for this campaign
A: We follow Wadiz Refund Policy
Q: Is there a Shipping Cost?
A: For the Bear with Speaker in February the shipping cost is free for South Korea, and there's a small fee for other countries (Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore). But, due to Christmas season, the key rings have a small fee for delivery inside South Korea too (please check at the Rewards section).
Thank you very much for your help and support!
Best wishes,
The StoryBridge Team.
