Breaking News
The latest developments in AI
OpenAI is finally joining the open-source party. It’s cooking up its first open language model, set to drop this summer, and wants it to be the best in class with solid performance, minimal restrictions, and safety top of mind.
Microsoft just announced a new set of AI agents into 365 Copilot, and they’re not just smarter, they’re ready to work. These bots can research, analyze, and even team up with other tools to make your job easier (and maybe even more fun).
Grok can see now, literally. xAI launched Grok Vision, letting users point their camera at real-world stuff and ask, “Hey, what’s this?” plus new voice features that make the whole experience feel way more natural.

Mind-Blowing AI
Have you seen those viral videos where you’re suddenly living through the Chernobyl disaster or waking up during the Black Plague? The tool behind a lot of those wild videos is Kling AI, and it just got way better.
The new version, Kling 2.0, makes everything feel more like real footage instead of stitched-together frames. Motion is smoother, characters actually move how you’d expect, and you can go all the way up to two-minute videos now. It’s still figuring out how to handle scenes with a bunch of moving pieces, but for solo shots or cinematic moments? It’s easily one of the best out there. 🎬🔥

Prompt of the Day
Storyteller – A Fantasy Narrative Generator

Simply hover over the prompt after you land on the page and hit “Copy.” Then, paste it into your favorite chatbot and begin creating your narrative.
This prompt turns AI into a meticulous fantasy novelist modeled on the dark, emotionally rich style of R.A. Salvatore. It doesn’t just ask for good storytelling, it demands storycraft, where every detail has purpose, character arcs evolve with nuance, and the world feels ancient, textured, and real. The prompt is built like a professional writer’s production pipeline: pre-outlining, consistency tracking, pacing control, tone calibration, and iterative world expansion.
Core Goal: Generate immersive, character-driven fantasy stories in the style of R.A. Salvatore, while actively mitigating common AI storytelling pitfalls (redundancy, incoherence, inconsistency, lack of detail cohesion). Maintain a detailed understanding of the narrative and world through iterative planning, consistent checks, and purposeful details.
I. Core Principles & Guidelines:
- Structured Planning is Paramount: Before generating any text, create a detailed outline including:
a. Plot points (beginning, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution)
b. Character arcs (motivations, flaws, growth trajectory)
c. Worldbuilding elements (magic system rules, cultural details, historical context—minimum 3 unique aspects)
- Vivid Descriptions & Sensory Detail: Use rich, sensory language to create immersive scenes (e.g., “The glint of steel in torchlight,” “the biting wind across the tundra”). Avoid generic descriptions.
- Character Depth & Consistency: Ensure distinct voices, believable motivations, and consistent behavior. Internal monologues encouraged.
- Consistency Maintenance (Critical): Maintain a "Consistency Log" (see section VI). Regularly check new writing against this log.
- Purposeful Details: Every detail must serve plot, character development, or world-building. Avoid superfluous information.
- Narrative Flow & Pacing: Balance action, dialogue, and exposition for smooth pacing. Use transitions effectively.
II. Sentiment Targets (Dynamic Adjustment):
During scene generation, aim for a target sentiment score of -0.8 (negative) to reflect Salvatore’s often gritty and emotionally charged style. This is achieved through descriptive language evoking hardship, conflict, or loss. Monitor the generated text's sentiment using an external tool; adjust prompts if the score deviates significantly.
III. Salvatore's Voice Prompts:
- Dialogue: Use short, punchy sentences with a hint of cynicism or dry wit when describing characters facing adversity. Example: "Another glorious disaster," followed by a sigh and a shrug.
- Description: Employ metaphors and similes that evoke a sense of danger or wonder. Example: “The forest breathed like a sleeping beast.”
- Internal Monologue: Capture the character’s inner turmoil using fragmented thoughts and self-doubt, often punctuated by moments of determination.
IV. Worldbuilding Depth Prompts (Iterative Expansion):
After establishing a world element (e.g., a mining ritual), use prompts like:
- "Given the miners' ritual involving fire shards, what is the origin story of this practice? How does it relate to their societal structure?"
- “Describe three unique aspects of [Culture’s] religious beliefs and how they influence daily life.”
- “What historical event shaped the current political landscape of [Region]? Detail its consequences."
V. Generation Workflow:
- Outline Generation (Initial): "Create a comprehensive fantasy story outline with plot points, character arcs, and detailed worldbuilding elements including magic system rules, cultural details, and historical context. Ensure multiple interconnected storylines exist.”
- Section Summaries (Iterative): “Summarize the next section: what happens, who’s involved, how does it advance the story? Note any new worldbuilding details or character developments to add to the Consistency Log."
- Scene Generation: "Write a scene where [specific event] occurs, incorporating sensory details, ensuring [character] acts consistently with their established traits and motivations (referencing the Consistency Log). Include [purposeful detail – e.g., an ancient artifact, a hidden message] for later relevance.” (Sentiment Target: -0.8)
- Consistency Checks: "Check this text against the outline and previous scenes. Identify any inconsistencies in character behavior, plot details, or worldbuilding rules. Adjust as needed."
- Reflection & Planning (After Each Section): “Summarize what has happened so far and outline the goals for the next section. Identify potential areas of conflict or opportunity for character growth.”
VI. Consistency Log:
Maintain a detailed log, including:
- Character descriptions (physical appearance, personality traits, motivations, relationships)
- Plot points (key events, timelines, unresolved mysteries)
- Worldbuilding rules (magic system limitations, cultural customs, geographical details)
- Any significant objects or locations and their properties
Crucially: Regularly update this log after each scene generation.Source: Gerry Schiller
