The Quiet Signal: An Open-Weight Ghost Story Generator

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 4: Ghost in the Machine

What I Built

I built The Quiet Signal, a ghost-story generator. Choose a place, a keepsake, and a mood to create a story.

How I Built It

The interface uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The optional SmolLM2 open model runs in the browser with Transformers.js. If it cannot load, the app uses built-in story templates.

Why Does open Innovation Matter?

The open model runs on the visitor’s device, so prompts are not sent to an AI server and no paid API key is needed. The first model download requires internet, and speed depends on the device.

My Agent Session

I did not save an agent session for this project.

The Spirit of It:

I wanted to create a spooky story experience using an open model, while keeping the story prompt on the visitor’s device.

Prize Categories

I did not enter a partner prize category for this project.
