How to Use Xiaobu Lab

Help children describe their ideas, then use AI to turn their imagination into artwork.

Xiaobu Lab is an AI creation platform for children's creative exploration. A child can begin with one simple idea, gradually add the subject, style, and setting, and use AI to generate an image. Children can also take part in the daily challenge to practice observation, expression, and combining prompts.

What You Can Do with Xiaobu Lab

AI Image Creation

Children can describe their creative ideas in words. For example:

"A kitten in a spacesuit standing on the Moon and looking at Earth."

The system generates an image from the description. Children can then keep refining the description so the image gets closer to what they imagined.

The creative process focuses on:

Observing what they want to express;
Describing the image in words;
Adding a subject, action, style, and setting;
Comparing the results produced by different descriptions;
Continuing to adjust their wording based on the result.

Daily Challenge

The daily challenge provides a target image and a set of prompt cards.

Children observe the target image, then choose and combine suitable descriptions from the available options. The system evaluates the result across dimensions such as meaning, style, and setting, helping children understand how different prompts affect the final image.

The daily challenge is designed as a short, lightweight prompt exercise. Children do not need to understand complex AI concepts before they begin.

Get Started in Four Steps

Step 1: Enter Xiaobu Lab

Select “Start Creating for Free” to go to the sign-in or free-trial page.

New users can learn about the product and begin with the basic experience. An account may be required to keep saving creations, manage an account, or use some complete features.

Step 2: Describe Your Idea

Enter the image you want to create.

You can begin with a simple description:

"A castle floating above the clouds."

You can also add more detail:

"A white castle floating above the clouds, surrounded by rainbows and flying little whales, in a fairy-tale illustration style."

Your description does not need to be complete on the first try. Express the most important idea first, then refine it step by step after seeing the generated result.

Step 3: Generate and Observe the Result

After you submit the description, the AI generates an image from the prompt.

Look closely at:

Whether the main character is correct;
Whether the action matches your intention;
Whether the scene is complete;
Whether the visual style is suitable;
Which parts of the description appear in the image;
What still needs to be added.

AI-generated results are uncertain. The same description may produce different images, and a result may be inaccurate or not match your expectations.

Step 4: Keep Refining or Save Your Creation

Revise the description based on the generated result, then try again.

For example, the original description might be:

"A fox in a forest."

You could refine it to:

"A little fox wearing a red scarf, sitting and reading in an autumn forest, in a warm children's picture-book style."

When the creation is finished, use the options available on the product page to view, save, or manage it.

How to Take Part in the Daily Challenge

1Observe the target image for the day;
2Read the prompt cards provided by the system;
3Choose descriptions of the subject, style, and setting that relate to the image;
4Adjust the order of the prompts;
5Submit the prompts and generate an image;
6Review the score and feedback;
7Compare your description with the target image.

The value of the daily challenge is not in perfectly copying the target image. It helps children understand how visual information can be turned into language, and how that language influences the result generated by AI.

Who Xiaobu Lab Is For

Children who enjoy drawing and stories;

Children who are learning to express themselves with language;

Parents who accompany their children while using AI;

Teachers who want to understand how children can create with AI.

Xiaobu Lab is not a tool that replaces a child's thinking or creativity. Parents and teachers can best support children by asking questions and guiding them to develop their own expression, rather than writing prompts for them.

Current Capabilities and Limits

AI Results Are Not Always Accurate

AI-generated content is probabilistic. It may not fully match the description, may contain incorrect details, or may not meet expectations.

No Specific Learning Outcome Is Guaranteed

Xiaobu Lab provides tools for creative and expressive practice, but it does not guarantee improvements in creativity, academic performance, or any other educational outcome.

Parent or Guardian Guidance Is Recommended

When children use generative AI, a parent or guardian should provide guidance appropriate to the child's age, level of understanding, and situation.

Do not enter sensitive personal information

Creation prompts should not include a real name, home address, school or class, phone number, identity document, account password, or other unnecessary personal information.

Planned Features Are Not the Same as Released Features

The website should describe only capabilities that are officially available now as current features. Features that are in development, in testing, or controlled by a feature flag must not be promoted as generally available to every user.
