The demo mimics the question-and-answer-based flow and simulates an AI companion. + - Find the demo [here](https://story-builder-ai.streamlit.app/) + + ![Chat responses](assets/Images/aman-naik-week3-img1.png) + + ![Framework built using the chat messages](assets/Images/aman-naik-week3-img2.png) + +2. **Presented the Demo to Mentors** + - Shared the working version with my mentors. I received positive feedback and valuable suggestions on what could be improved and how the feature can be enhanced with new ideas. + +--- + +## Challenges & How I Overcame Them + +- **Challenge:** Designing a feedback loop where the AI accumulates all context from the student’s responses + **Solution:** After repeated iterations and research, I realized that assigning a distinct personality to the LLM helps it collect and remember context more naturally. This personality-driven approach ensures a more engaging and coherent interaction throughout the story-building process. + +--- + +## Key Learnings + +**Built and Deployed a Streamlit Demo to Simulate Story Interaction** + - Gained practical experience in using Streamlit to build and deploy web apps that demonstrate AI interaction flow for educational use cases. + +**Learned the Importance of AI Personality in Context Retention** + - Discovered that crafting an AI assistant with a personality improves its ability to retain context and makes the storytelling experience more relatable and fun for children. + +--- + +## Next Week’s Roadmap + +- Begin fine-tuning a language model using AWS +- Build a system where the AI recommends books similar to the student's story at the end of the conversation + +--- + +## Acknowledgments + +Thank you to my mentors, the Sugar Labs community, and fellow contributors for their continuous guidance and valuable feedback! + +---
