A co-creative story generator built with AI, exploring how humans and language models can collaborate creatively.
Plotcraft was built as a two-person group project for the Computational Creativity course at Leiden University, a course focused on understanding how to be creative alongside AI and studying how large language models actually work.
The project put those ideas into practice. Users pick a genre and choose an option, and the system generates a story shaped by both inputs. Therefore the user steers the direction while the AI handles the writing.
Building it meant getting into the mechanics of how LLMs respond to prompting, how much creative control you can hand off versus keep, and what co-creativity actually looks like when it's working well.
