How artsytells began

It started with a blank page.

A true story about a kid, a stuck pencil, and the AI her dad happened to own.

My daughter draws on everything. She loves it. But every so often she'd come find me, pencil in hand, stuck — she didn't know what to draw. The blank page had won again.

She knows what her dad does all day. I run momor.ai, and momor.ai has an AI that's good at coming up with ideas. So one afternoon she put it together and pitched me: what if the AI just gave her something to draw? Something silly she'd never think of herself. She'd already named it — artsytells. We checked, and the name was free.

So we built it. artsytells hands you an unlikely idea — a banshee training for a marathon, a raccoon reorganizing its sock drawer — and gets you past the blank page and into the drawing. It's her idea. I just had the AI lying around.

From stuck to sketching

The whole trick, in three steps.

A blank page and a pencil

The blank page

She could draw anything. She just didn't always know what. Every artist knows the feeling — empty page, empty head.

A nudge from momor.ai

One tap, and the momor.ai engine hands over an idea she'd never have thought of. Weird on purpose. The hard part — deciding — is already done.

And she's off

No staring, no stalling. Just a pencil, a ridiculous idea, and the best part of drawing: actually drawing.

The ideas come from momor.ai — the AI orchestration platform behind the company, here doing one small job: making sure no kid has to face a blank page alone. artsytells is the app; momor.ai is the engine underneath.
