Major applications I use AI for:

  • Art, obviously. I generate lots of illustrations of the characters and other things they encounter. These days image generators have become good enough that I usually just have to describe things well in the prompt and get usable results, but if I need to edit the images to get them closer to what I need I run ComfyUI locally and have lots of models for that as well.
  • I use producer.ai to generate custom music. Sometimes it's diagetic - in the previous campaign the party encountered an NPC that loved to sing about important plot developments in-universe - but mostly it's either background soundscape or supplementary songs (consider them like "theme music" that plays during the intro or credits). Producer.ai closed down new subscriptions a while back but I've also used Udio and Suno and they're both good too.
  • I record the sessions and transcribe them using WhisperX. I feed the transcripts into NotebookLM and have it generate summaries and notes about the events of each session. It can also generate "overview" videos that work great as a 5-minute catch-up players can watch before the session if they've forgotten what happened last time.
  • Since NotebookLM has all my campaign notes in it as source documents, as well as PDFs of the rulebooks, it's great for quickly whipping up stats for creatures when the players do something unexpected. It's also been a good brainstorming assistant, and it "knows" the names of every random little NPC or village we've seen along the way.

I've been experimenting with the Wan2.2 video model lately. It's not quite up to snuff for generating videos of meaningful length, but it's still pretty neat to be able to put a character portrait in and have a 5-second snippet of them just "being alive." I think it'll be a neat addition to having static portraits.

Aside from producer.ai, all of these tools are free. Though the WhisperX transcription program I use is a custom Python script, I'm not sure what would be a good solution for a non-programmer to spin up.

Edit: Downvoting me isn't making any of these tools less useful.

I need this note taking thing! No one in my group takes notes really and I can't while dealing with everything else.

I need to look into this I guess

Whoa this is the next level DMing. Before, to get the same result, you better have a whole team writing and producing content. You have recaps, illustrations and music for a TTRPG, yes it's still a ton of manual work but looking at how fast things are moving, it wouldn't surprise me if this is an app in a few years and everyone gets this amazing experience.

The haters are so mad you got the robot to do some of the things it's for. Anything beyond 'I click the button and it draws a pretty lady! I'm a artist!' really fucks with their absolutism. That's a threat to ingroup solidarity for the ones who've made opposition part of their identity.
