I am currently building a text-based adventure game powered by GPT-4. I’m building it in React & Node. While it’s not yet ready for release, here’s the Development Preview Link. To start, you’ll need to log in with the authorization provider of your choice. (Note I renamed the app from TextRPG)
As a part of a two-day work trial, I built a web app that functions as a cartographer of AI voice agents. Magellan sails the high seas of the phone network to discover and map out unknown call agents. You provide a phone number, and Magellan explores the agent and returns to you a flowchart of phone menu paths.
Note that given the two-day limit, I focused on back-end functionality and then threw up a basic UI that got the job done.

Type in a phone number. Optionally provide a brief description of the business being called (for later organization) and optionally specify a maximum number of calls Magellan should make (to prevent runaway costs if the phone tree is extensive beyond expectation). Press submit. Feel free to repeat the form right away with a different number to parallelize mapping other phone agents.

A sequence of calls in progress will begin to appear, each navigating the phone tree in an incrementally different way. When each call is complete, an audio recording and transcript become available for inspection. After the first few calls, Magellan will run the transcripts through an LLM to generate a flowchart of the known phone tree paths.

The flowchart will update periodically as new calls are completed. The flowchart will display itself as complete once the LLM has deemed that all phone menu paths have been traversed or the optional max number of calls have been reached.

Algorithm
I instruct the Hamming caller through performing Depth-First Search, moving left to right through the branches (using alphabetical order of possible imagined answers to each of the phone agent’s questions). Through this approach, the system caller can move with complete efficiency through the call graph, never repeating. I used an LLM call at periodic intervals (default: every 5 calls) to evaluate the transcripts and distill them into a flowchart. When that interval passes again, the LLM updates the mermaid (flowchart) diagram with the new paths exposed in the latest transcripts. If it deems all paths traversed, the system completes.
I built Hero.Rodeo, a web app that uses OpenAI’s GPT and DALL-E to generates superhero “trading cards” from simple user prompts. It generates amazing heroes from prompt text consisting of animals, fantasy characters, creatures, and objects! Try it Out!
I built it using Python, Flask, TailwindCSS, Amazon S3, and OpenAI’s GPT and DALL-E API. I designed the UX on the fly as I developed. One thing I noticed early on in user testing is how much near-instantaneous joy people got from the app. They provided an animal, eg. “squirrel”, and then seconds later “Master Nutcracker the Squirrel” appeared. When I user-tested in social settings, users would often turn to their friends to show them what they just made. This learning helped me see the value of enabling the heroes that others had created to be shared and discovered by others.
