Singapore startup uses AI to turn novels into graphic novels, reaching 60-70% before humans finish
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-14
At the Frankfurt Book Fair, Anumeha Bisaria, cofounder of a Singapore startup, described how her platform turns manuscripts into graphic novels: it reads the manuscript, studies background, protagonist, and emotional beats, and produces a storyboard roughly 60-70% complete, which an editor, author, and illustrator then finish because purely AI output tends to look generic.
- The team refuses requests to imitate existing artists' styles like Peanuts, having its illustrator develop original looks instead
- Bisaria argues panel sequencing, dialogue-image pairing, and narrative structure form the human storytelling layer that can be copyrighted
