Story Keeper – AI agents with narrative continuity instead of memory
Hi HN! Creator here. I built Story Keeper to solve a problem I kept hitting with AI agents: they remember everything but lose coherence over long conversations. The Core Idea Instead of storing chat history and retrieving chunks (RAG approach), Story Keeper maintains a living narrative: Characters: Who you are (evolving), who the agent is Arc: Where you started → where you're going Themes: What matters to you Context: The thread connecting everything Think of it as the difference between reading meeting notes vs. being in the relationship. Technical Approach ~200 lines of Python. Three…

In plain words
Story Keeper is an AI agent framework that maintains narrative continuity across long conversations by tracking characters, story arcs, themes, and context rather than storing chat history. Built in Python and compatible with any LLM, it keeps agents coherent by treating conversations as evolving stories instead of disconnected messages. It is for developers building AI agents that need to sustain meaningful context over extended interactions, particularly in applications like coaching or ongoing assistance where relationship continuity matters more than factual recall.

It has been a major challenge for all AI storytellers to create images of a character with consistent face/hair/outfit/body type across different scenes. We took a stab at this problem at Artflow’s and we'd like to show it to you to gather some early feedback. Please note that this is still an early version and we fully admit it's not perfect.

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
