Using the J.R.R. Tolkien AI Persona to Write a Book

Overview

In the second part of our guide series, we will demonstrate how to employ the AI persona of J.R.R. Tolkien that we established in the previous guide to write a story.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have followed the first part of this guide series - "Preparing the AI Persona for Writing a Book - Setting up the J.R.R. Tolkien AI Persona" and have a functioning AI persona ready for use.

Guide

Establishing the AI Agent

With our persona and instructions ready, we will create an agent with the GPTModelAdapter model, using the persona we set up. We'll also add a FileWriter as a side effect:

const dir = path.join(process.cwd(), `examples/output/${Date.now()}`);
const fileWriter = createFileWriter(dir);
const tolkienAgent = new Agent(
    new GPTModelAdapter({
        model: "gpt-4",
        historySize: 3,
        systemInstruction: tolkienInstruction,
    }),
    {
        verbosity: 1,
        sideEffects: [fileWriter],
    }
);

Writing the Story

Now that our agent is prepared, we can embark on the writing process. In this example, we will generate a three-chapter book:

const tasks = [
    "Begin the tale in a peaceful shire, introduce our unassuming hero.",
    "Our hero hears an ancient prophecy and sets out on a great journey.",
    "Our hero faces the final challenge, an epic confrontation with an ancient evil.",
];

const fileWriter = createFileWriter();

for (let i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++) {
    await tolkienAgent.assign({ task: tasks[i], wordCount: ">=1000" }).catch(console.error);
}

Summary

By the end of this guide, we have successfully generated a three-chapter story inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's writing style. The story is created with the assistance of our AI agent using the GPT-4 model, exhibiting the powerful capabilities of the Hyv library.
