Gideon Wald's Homepage

Welcome. I am still actively constructing this space, sometimes having too much fun tinkering with process to prioritize outcomes. Below is some of what I'm making right now and highlights of past and present 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 gpt-image-as-illustrator. 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.
Chatrooms
(In Progress) Chatrooms for human and LLM participants to collaborate and debate
Dream in a Bottle (In Progress) Story-driven resource management game for iOS
