Gideon Wald's Homepage

Hi, I'm Gideon Wald and this is my personal website. It is still actively under construction as of April 2025. This homepage showcases the projects I've been working on recently as well as some highlights of my past work. You can find more about me and get in touch here.

Projects

Weaver's World

Weaver's World lets you generate magical illustrated stories for children about characters you create.

It includes custom prompts for Claude-as-storyteller and DALL-E-3 as illustrator (this will be greatly improved soon when the API for o-series image gen is released). Stories are private by default but shareable publicly, and can be automatically read aloud if desired.
Defense Nuggets

Defense Nuggets scrapes every district circuit court of appeals website several times each day, then rates every new criminal decision for defense-friendly rulings using a custom Claude-as-rater prompt.

It analyzes any defense-relevant cases in detail and aggregates them for easy review by federal defense attorneys.
Assistant-Enabled (In Progress) Custom command-line AI assistant for software engineering
Dream in a Bottle (In Progress) Story-driven resource management game for iOS
Blog
(In Progress) As of late April 2025, I am in the process of migrating my blog archive here. Expect it by mid-May.
