/goals on both codex and claude is insane.

I gave Claude a full end-to-end task of creating a graphic novel. I've been thinking about this idea of leveraging GPT-Image-2 for creating a comic book for a while, but didn't have the time to do it, so I said screw it, let's see if the models can figure it out.

I gave it full autonomy in choosing the story, artwork, and creating the end product. Here is a summary of the steps in its instructions:

1. Research the last 30 years of graphic novels 2. Come up with a story + art style that would resonate based on what worked in the past 3. Write the script 4. Break it up into image prompts for each page 5. Call a Codex subagent to generate the images using GPT-Image-2 (I could have swapped this for an API call, but I got a sub and didn't want to pay any more money than I'm already forking over)

Claude got to work... and a few hours later I got a 25-page PDF of the graphic novel.

I can easily extend this to more customized and longer storylines with specific artwork and maybe even swap out with Codex next time.

I was curious why it picked this particular theme (the setting is in Karachi) and protagonist, and Claude replied (accurately) that because I have a Pakistani name.

I used HyperFrames to create a quick video with some music.
