Building with the Bard: Remixing Shakespeare - #AIWeekNY
The best way to learn how to build with AI is to build something through, end-to-end in a single session.
This AI Week, Build First brings you Breakfast with the Bard: Remixing Shakespeare. Join us on Friday, May 15th, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a morning of innovative creation.
First, we'll download the complete works of William Shakespeare, then use it as our creative input into Claude Code, and harness the power of AI to transform them into something new and exciting. Think of it as a creative laboratory where classical literature meets state-of-the-art technology.
We'll provide a few starting ideas to spark your imagination, but the possibilities are endless:
Shakespearean Chatbot: Create an AI-powered character chatbot.
Remixed Play: Generate a modern-day interpretation of a classic plot.
AI-Generated Sonnets: Train an AI model to write new sonnets in his iconic style.
Interactive Visualizations: Build interactive visualizations that explore themes and characters.
For inspiration of what to build, see "Punk Shakespeare: here: https://punk-shakespeare.vercel.app/
More ideas will be shared during the workshop, but the real magic will come from your unique vision and creativity. This is a chance to push the boundaries of AI, experiment with data, and discover new ways to interact with classical literature.
Target Audience:
Writers and poets
Developers and data scientists
Artists and designers
Anyone curious about AI and creativity
We will provide breakfast, but bring your curiosity and laptop! Limited spots are available, so register now.
