Hi Lynn, thank you for (once more) a great collection of links and topics. BookWorld sounds intriguing (and like sth that was bound to happen). You say you know a few startups working on the same problem - are you free to tell us (a bit) more? And yes, more Multimodal RAG news would be very welcome! Have a splendid 1st of May
Hi - sorry for such a long delay on this reply. HiddenDoor is the most obvious visible startup doing the book2game thing; but I am out of touch with how they are doing this, given they started long before current methods I would try, for instance. I have seen a few others doing book-character things, you'll hit a ton if you look for "chat with book characters" and NotebookLLM has some demos of doing games from books (I linked to one Steve Johnson posted in X a few months ago). Also, re Multimodal RAG, a whole lot of stuff just this past 2 weeks which in fact I did not include in the issue yesterday, sorry -- feel free to drop me a note if you want any links.
