This talk explores the engineering lessons behind coordinating narration, image generation, captioning, rendering, review, repair, and publishing as one structured workflow. Using sanitized interface views and finished-media examples, Tyrell R. Towle, PhD, will discuss deterministic orchestration around probabilistic models, interchangeable local AI backends, artifact logging, targeted reruns, and the practical strengths and risks of building substantial software with AI coding tools.
