I didn't make text-adventures with LLMs. I try to solve them [0]. So, far, none of the 7 tested models were able to win even one of the easiest text adventures. I tried many prompting techniques. But only GPT-4 was able to play through the first half of the game. [0] https://github.com/s-macke/AdventureAI

Fun, I tried to do this back with GPT-3: https://llm.ianbicking.org/interactive-fiction/ But Zork wouldn't be a very accurate measure of skill because GPT definitely knows Zork. Unfortunately the emulator ( https://github.com/DLehenbauer/jszm ) doesn't work with most games newer than Zork. I haven't revisited the code with newer GPT models either.

GPT-3 doesn't even manage the first few steps of the tested text adventure. And GPT-4 is not good at playing these adventures either.

However, my code run a newer version of the Z-machine. So Zork and many other text adventures will work. I have not tried many other games though.

I'm building a spaced-repetition flashcards language learning app, that generates sentences and explanations for a given word. Unfortunately only for German, but I plan on expanding the languages soon. https://vokabeln.io Tech stack: - The app is in Flutter. - Backend I'm nodejs TS. - GPT4 for generation of sentences and explanations - GCP text-to-speech for audio

Nice! I'm building something similar for French

So the AI tries to sell to you, or you try to sell to the AI? This sounds very intriguing but I can tell by your README that you're an engineer and not a sales guy - there are no distinct value propositions. But it sounds damn creative as a project.

The AI answers the call and acts as a potential customer. They take on personas to simulate behaviors like difficult or reluctant customers. You then do your pitch, handle objections, etc. At the end you get a transcript that's 'graded' to show you where you could improve your sales approach. And you're right, I'm not a sales guy. This project is for people like me who want a risk-free place to learn the basics of sa…

I absolutely love this idea.

Most high-level sales people rely on role play partners but that requires a pretty a big commitment. This would make a great product, imo.

Also (tip): Study, memorize and internalize a sales script for your product/service...along with the objection handlers and closing questions. Practice every single day. You'll gain massive confidence because you know exactly what you are going to say, every time.

I am currently building an automatic book generator of Rust source code, in which the LLM will write the description of the code of a whole Rust project. It will be a bot, which will connect to the website, generate descriptions, download them, and create the book. It is very early in the project, 3 days in, but it's going well.

I was tired of the need to scroll through dozens of blogs and RSS feeds to learn about technologies and industry news, so I’ve built a service that helps you learn and stay updated about any topic by sending a single fully personalized weekly email digest, making relevant information come to you, instead of you chasing it (push vs pull):

It’s basically an LLM-based RAG that works over the best blogs and websites covering any topic you provided during onboarding.

A Twitter filter to take back control of your social media feed from recommendation engines. Put in natural language instructions like "Only show tweets about machine learning, artificial intelligence, and large language models. Hide everything else" and it will filter out all the tweets that you tell it to. Runs on a local LLM, because even using GPT3 costs would have added up quickly. Currently requires CUDA and us…

That could actually be a universal ad-whacker for similarily stubborn sites (reddit)
