When I walked onto the set of Cápák között, the Hungarian version of Shark tank, I wasn’t just there to pitch our startup, Storique. I was there to bring a little magic to the world of business. Instead of just presenting numbers and strategies, I decided to do what I do best—tell a story. And so, I created a children's book featuring the five Sharks as legendary figures in a fairytale adventure. I am hoping to inspire others to use state-of-the-art technology in a creative way.
Turning Shark Tank into a Storybook Adventure
When I walked onto the set of Cápák között, the Hungarian version of Shark tank, I wasn’t just there to pitch our startup, Storique. I was there to bring a little magic to the world of business. Instead of just presenting numbers and strategies, I decided to do what I do best—tell a story. And so, I created a children's book featuring the five Sharks as legendary figures in a fairytale adventure. I am hoping to inspire others to use state-of-the-art technology in a creative way.
From Idea to Illustrated Pages
The idea came naturally: what if I turned my journey to Cápák között into an epic fairytale? I imagined myself as a princess traveling from a small Swiss town to Budapest to seek the wisdom of five powerful rulers. Each of the Sharks — Farbod, Ildikó, Petya, Miklós, and István — would be transformed into shark kings and a shark queen, each with their own unique challenge for me to complete. If I succeeded, I would earn their trust—and their investment.
Bringing the Story to Life with Storique
Creating the book using Storique’s technology was exciting. To ensure that the illustrations truly captured the essence of each Shark, I uploaded eight photos of each of them. This made the AI learn to generate accurate and recognizable illustrations that blended seamlessly with the fairytale aesthetic.
For the storyline, I envisioned myself traveling to meet the famous Sharks in Budapest, where they reside in a massive mansion. Each Shark has their own tower within this grand estate, and I must visit each one, solving their unique challenges to win their support in the future. This structure allowed me to integrate elements of adventure, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship, making the book both engaging and reflective of the real-life experience on the show.
Each illustration had to capture both the fairytale essence and the recognizable personalities of the Sharks. The group AI agents did a great job: the complete story was written and stunningly illustrated in a few hours. Then I could freely edit the text and generate new illustrations to add even more personal touch. I was very excited to give the final book to the Sharks.
The Sharks' Reactions
When I presented the book on the show, I saw genuine surprise and delight on their faces. It was a moment of pure storytelling magic—where business met creativity in the most unexpected way.
This book wasn't just a pitch; it was a demonstration of what Storique can do. It showed that storytelling has the power to engage, inspire, and even secure investment.
The Power of Personalized Storytelling
At Storique, we believe that stories aren’t just for bedtime—they’re for bringing ideas to life, making connections, and the creation process is a great present of quality time. Whether it’s a love story, a childhood adventure, or a pitch for investors, storytelling can transform the way we communicate.
This book was my way of showing the Sharks and the world that personalized storytelling is the future. And so, our adventure continues—where magic and innovation meet.
