Automated Synthetic Media Wrap

Over the past few years I’ve been involved in a number of UK MOD projects to produce artificial social and mainstream media synthetic wraps around wargames, first-person tactical simulations and even physical exercises - the full Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) suite.

Working on OPUC, my operational level game initially on an invasion of Estonia, it suddenly struck me that I could do the same thing for that game, and indeed for any relevant wargame - mine or someone else’s.

In designing the new system, the main aim was to keep it as simple to implement as possible - something that almost any wargamer could implement for their own games. The earlier systems had used a lot of bespoke code, and for POBL a local LLM, but this time my aim has been to do everything through a CustomGPT, or equivalent bot.

The system, which I'm now making available as a public CustomGPT comprises 3 elements:

• A ChatGPT CustomGPT bot;

• A scenario description file; and

• A turn status file.

You can read more information in my initial Substack post on the topic.
