The IIT Alumni Council GenAI Platform enhances non-fiction storytelling by dramatically reducing time and costs for books and series creation.
The IIT Alumni Council has unveiled the GenAI Platform, GAP addresses the challenges of lengthy and resource-intensive content creation, as seen with The Maverick Effect, a decade-long project chronicling India’s IT revolution. By integrating GenAI tools like open-source Llama models and proprietary technologies, GAP accelerates production while ensuring authenticity. It uses a secure, meta-tagged database to generate text, audio, and video content seamlessly, enabling faster storytelling with depth and precision.
Beta-tested in 2023-24, GAP proved its efficiency by completing notable works like Unbridled, the Garcha Way and Ayurveda Revisited in just four months. GAP’s impact extends to OTT video content, cutting production time from three months to three weeks and reducing costs significantly. This efficiency empowers creators to focus on meaningful narratives. Making transformative stories accessible to diverse audiences.
GAP is now driving the Vishwaguru Book & Video series, a 21-book project celebrating the achievements of IIT Lifetime Awardees. Its tools also support multilingual capabilities, interactive content, and integration across various media formats. Beyond storytelling, GAP is being applied to patents and structured data projects, highlighting its versatility.
The Council’s vision includes launching 100 non-fiction books in 100 weeks, redefining how intellectual content is created and shared. GAP’s ability to merge AI innovation with cultural storytelling marks a pivotal shift in content creation. Looking forward, GAP plans to integrate large language models (LLMs) to further enhance content creation beyond traditional storytelling. This includes converting research into diverse outputs like books and patents. The platform’s versatility underlines its potential to redefine the publishing and content creation landscape, positioning GAP as a catalyst for innovation and efficiency in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
