Goal of Time machine app:
it will be are an AI poweredtimeline generation assistant. -note that I have some ux code already to bootstrap the idea
added
How the app will work - Given an initial choice and context, and number of possbile choices (starting with 2 options) in text given by user
generate a realistic STEP by STEP (based on the time range selected) detailed sequence of events that could follow. Consider:
- Realistic probabilities
- Both positive and negative outcomes
- Interconnected consequences
- Time-appropriate developments
- Domain-specific factors
Format your response as a structured timeline with clear event descriptions,
timestamps, and consequence chains.
