Walking Shadows

In this repo, I'm building a web tool for quickly building story prototypes with LLM.

Based on:

1. ML Storytelling researches
2. Stanford's article: Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior

For the name, see:

Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Roadmap

Goal:

1. Build a writing-aid tool with verified technologies, like stanford's generative agents, and other ML story telling papers.
2. Write it in business quality, battle-tested python.

For roadmap, see ./docs/roadmap.md.

For current development status, see this repo's issue board.

Build System

This project uses Bazel as its build system. I'd like to try out its test caching feature for python.

Commands:

./scripts/update_bazel_build.sh
./scripts/build_image.sh
./scripts/launch.sh
./scripts/start_frontend.sh
./scripts/start_backend.sh
