The Fiction Machine: A Generative AI Framework for Bengali Science Fiction Storytelling and Research Assistance
Abstract
This article presents a novel Generative AI (GenAI) project aimed at preserving and promoting Bengali science fiction literature through automatic story generation and an intelligent research assistant. It addresses the dual goals of (1) generating Bengali science fiction narratives in the style of renowned Bengali authors, and (2) creating a virtual assistant to aid researchers, readers, and writers in exploring Bengali sci-fi literature.

I describe the architecture, methodology, tools, and challenges faced in building this multilingual and culturally aware GenAI system.
