Storybro

Storybro is a community maintained fork of AI Dungeon 2. AI Dungeon was originally created by Nick Walton.

Visit our Wiki here: Storybro wiki

Read more about AI Dungeon 2 and how it was built here.

This fork aims to provide:

• Improvements the original codebase
• A command-line tool storybro for managing models, stories, etc
• An improved interactive play mode
• A model registry where models can be downloaded
• An http web-service exposing most features
• A Pip installable Python package

Note

Storybro's AI can use your GPU or CPU. A GPU will produce AI responses much faster than a CPU. An nVidia GPU with 12 GB or more of memory, and CUDA installed, is required for GPU play. If you do not have such a GPU, you can play on your CPU. However, each turn can take a couple of minutes or more for the game to compose its response.

Contributing

Contributing to Storybro is easy! Just send us a pull request from your fork. Make sure develop is the destination branch.

Storybro uses a rough approximation of the Git Flow branching model. The develop branch contains the latest contributions, and master is always tagged and points to the latest stable release.

If you're a contributor, make sure you're testing and playing on develop. That's where all the magic is happening (and where we hope bugs stop).
