The House with a Million Windows (HWAMW) is an LLM-based interactive fiction system that lets users narrate a story and then view it through a series of AI-generated "windows" that reframe the narrative in various literary styles. The system is grounded in the psychological restorying intervention, aiming to deepen users' exploration of meaning in their personal stories. Empirical results indicate that HWAMW enhances users' sense of narrative identity, and expert reviews suggest it achieves this by facilitating restorying rather than simply generating new content.

SlideGen is a collaborative vision‑language multi‑agent framework designed to generate scientific presentation slides from research papers. It assigns specialized agents to outline the presentation structure, align figures and tables with key claims, generate speaker notes, and compose editable PPTX slides using a diverse layout library. The system introduces a geometry‑aware density metric to evaluate visual clutter and demonstrates significant improvements in layout balance, content coverage, and text coherence over existing baselines on a 200‑paper benchmark.

SkillPE is a prompt‑engineering framework that evolves reusable cinematic skills from expert‑authored seeds to improve text‑to‑video generation for non‑experts. It encodes shot logic, composition, lighting, sound design, and other filmmaking cues in a fine‑grained format, and uses movie references classified as resonators, dissonants, and divergents to refine skill application and inspire creative alternatives. Experiments on StoryEval and VBench demonstrate up to 1.40‑point gains over the strongest baseline and 0.51 points over seed skills on a 7‑point four‑dimensional evaluation, while remaining competitive on benchmark‑native metrics.
