SkyStory AI is an AI-powered web application that transforms real-time astronomical and orbital data into engaging, personalized stories. Instead of presenting complex telemetry and scientific datasets, SkyStory AI makes space exploration accessible through AI-generated narratives, interactive visualizations, and immersive user experiences.

Every day, satellites, observatories, and space agencies generate enormous amounts of valuable data. While scientists can interpret this information, it often remains inaccessible to the general public.
SkyStory AI bridges this gap by converting live space data into engaging stories powered by Generative AI.
Users can explore celestial events happening around them, visualize our solar system in 3D, and experience space through interactive storytelling.
