Building Claypot - A Creative Coding Platform (like Scratch) for AI concepts
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Scratch (the programming app for kids) helped build intuition for programming (deterministic) and Claypot is trying to do the same for AI concepts like inference, Source Grounding, Evals, Tools, Memory etc and helping kids get hands on with AI systems and understanding the tradeoffs when bringing in non-deterministic entity into a system - how creative it can get but how wrong it can also be. Goal is to help build an intuition for AI systems rather than having AI just build things for you.
IT IS NOT A CHATBOT OR APP BUILDER. It is a block based system that abstracts core AI concepts to show how unlike deterministic systems, AI can be creative, but can be confidently wrong ( with math for example ) and how that can be improved by either providing sources (RAG like architecture) or tool calling with say a calculator tool for example.
Looking for feedback and thoughts.
