In Progress

I'm in the early stages of developing a desktop app designed to streamline social media content creation through full AI operation. This tool aims to utilise AI 'employees', each assigned a specific role that reflects the diverse skill sets of a human team, thereby automating every facet of content generation: from research and writing to visual design, editing, and social media management.

These digital colleagues work together as a team, creating content based on an initial prompt, and following a schedule much like a traditional business.

How It Works:
• Configure AI Models: Power your agents with AI models, opting for locally hosted models for cost efficiency or cloud-based services for enhanced capabilities.
• Assemble Your AI Team: Design your team of AI agents, each with specific roles, skills, personas, and models. Whether it's two 'employees' or ten, create a diverse team to effectively generate, review and deliver high-quality content.
• Platform Integration: Link up with various social media platforms and mail delivery services for direct content posting.
• Content Creation: Assign topics (prompts) to your team for content generation.
• Scheduling: Implement a weekly schedule to automate content creation and posting, ensuring a steady online presence.

The primary aim of this project is an attempt to force AI to consistently produce high-quality content for real-world use. By segmenting the process across multiple AI instances ('employees'), assigning them specific tasks, and implementing stringent quality assurance reviews by AI 'managers' with final approval from the AI 'big boss', the system focuses on minimising errors and hallucinations.

“Your AI sidekick, anytime, anywhere ~ no internet, no worries mate!”

Imagine a suite of specifically trained AI agents, each designed to enhance the independence and spirit of isolated living in remote regions around the globe.

These agents are capable of delivering critical first-aid instructions, personalised learning modules, in-depth agricultural insights, and intelligent wildlife identification. They can offer language translation, geographical and cultural information, preliminary health diagnostics, home economics advice, and troubleshooting guides for equipment maintenance. How about a unique personal companion AI, offering a friendly voice and interactive presence to those seeking a conversational partner ~ all without the need for an internet connection.

They can help ensure those living, working, and travelling off the grid have access to a wealth of knowledge and support right at their fingertips.

Completely standalone open source AI models integrated directly into mobile app environments. No reliance, API costs, or uncertainty associated with proprietary AI providers. Transparent customised AI tailored to specific use cases.

By harnessing the power of Augmented Reality technologies, I'm creating a Unity solution that transforms your living spaces into dynamic game levels. To create 3D floorplan models of your home, all you need is your mobile phone's camera. With the release of Apple's Vision Pro headset, I'm even more excited about the future of real-world gaming and its potential to take this project to a whole new level.

These 3D models serve as the foundation of your gaming environment, enabling AI navigation, spawn points, zoning, collisions, and occlusion. As you move within your space, the model adjusts accordingly, seamlessly integrating your real-world position into the gaming experience.

Moreover, this is being designed as an accessible tool for fellow game developers. They can leverage this mapping logic to build immersive AR games, ranging from suspense-filled horror adventures to thrilling treasure hunts, all set within the comfort of the player's own home.

Venture into this new frontier of gaming where your home is no longer just a living space, but an exciting, interactive gaming arena.

With iDevGPT, I am venturing into my most ambitious project yet. This unique game studio harmonises the best of artificial intelligence and human creativity with the intent of bringing something new to the mobile gaming industry.

By leveraging OpenAI's GPT-4, my mission is to automate the entire game development process, from concept ideation to prototyping and development, with AI at the helm. This exciting initiative ushers in a new era of AI-engineered mobile games, challenging the traditional structure of game design and development.

Imagine the possibility of playable prototypes being constructed with minimal to no manual input. Picture sowing the seed of a game idea through a simple text description, and then sitting back as iDev transforms it into a fully-fledged game. Consider a situation where you wish to change an aspect of the prototype – all you need to do is supply a modification instruction, and iDev rebuilds an updated iteration. It's a monumental task, but one that I firmly believe is within reach.

"Luminor", the first AI-assisted mobile game by iDev, is concurrently under development as the studio itself. This serves not only as a testament to the potential of AI in creating engaging and innovative gaming experiences, but also as a crucial pilot project for the development of the iDevGPT system.

As iDev builds the game, I'm also refining the design logic of the AI studio, learning, iterating, and improving in real time. Luminor is more than just a game—it's a glimpse into the unfolding future of gaming, and a critical stepping stone on the path to fully AI-engineered games. Stay tuned to see how this exciting journey unfolds.

Let's go!
