Welcome back to AI for Everyone. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a real, in-progress project from my AP Literature class. We're moving beyond theoretical discussions and essays to build interactive, conversational AI avatars.

My students are using OpenAI's Custom GPTs to create and interpret the robot characters from Nnedi Okorafor's fantastic novel, The Death of the Author. This isn't just a classroom exercise; it's a dynamic way to analyze literature, and the students will be presenting their finished avatars at the Great World Texts conference in Madison, Wisconsin.
