17. ✍️ AI Story Generator

Overview

An interactive web app that crafts short stories or chapters based on user prompts, with controls for genre, tone, length, and character/plot elements.

Primary Use Cases

• Authors & writers overcoming writer’s block
• Educators generating reading material or writing prompts
• Content creators producing narrative scripts for podcasts or videos

Key Features

• Prompt form: genre, setting, main characters, length
• Iterative editing: users can revise prompts or “continue story”
• Style presets: fairy‐tale, sci‐fi, mystery, romance, etc.
• Downloadable output in Markdown, PDF, or ePub
• Character & plot outline export

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React + TypeScript + Tailwind (prompt builder & editor)
• Backend: FastAPI (Python); optional Go microservice for rate-limiting
• AI Models:
  • Generation: gpt-3.5-turbo (via Hugging Face) or fine-tuned GPT-J
  • Optionally: a small fine-tuned T5 for shorter “flash fiction”

Architecture

1. Prompt Service: receives user inputs → constructs system+user messages.
2. Generation Service: calls HF chat/completion API → returns story text.
