GhostNote AI - Some Stories Refuse To Disappear

Some stories refuse to disappear.

I built GhostNote AI for Hacktoberfest Week 4 - Ghost in the Machine.

It is a spooky, memory-keeping web experience inspired by Dia de los Muertos.
You leave a thought in the dark, and it comes back as a haunting story that you will never forget.

How it works

  1. You type a memory or thought
  2. You click the ghost
  3. The AI turns it into a beautiful, haunting story

Why I chose Open AI?

I used an open-weight model - DeepSeek - instead of a closed, paid API.

  • It is free to use
  • Your personal memories stay private
  • The model can be swapped anytime
  • Anyone can run it locally

That is the real power of open source AI. You own it.

Tech I used

  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • DeepSeek (open-weight model)

Try it yourself

Made with love for Hacktoberfest 2026.
