Inspire

LLM-powered infinite inspirational quote generator. Generates unique quotes via API, stores them in flat files, and serves them over REST. This app was built with AI-assisted software

Setup

touch quotes.dat quotes2.dat quotes3.dat outfile.txt
cp config.py.sample config.py # and configure API keys
docker compose up -d --force-recreate --build

Modes

Mode	File	Context used for generation
1	quotes.dat	seeds + quotes.dat, use last MAX_QUOTES
2	quotes2.dat	seeds pinned + most recent generated up to MAX_QUOTES combined
3	quotes3.dat	seeds only (seed.dat + seed2.dat)

API

All endpoints accept an optional JSON body with:

• n: count, default 5
• topics: default - themes defined in system prompt
• mode (1/2/3, default 1).

File format

Quotes use author || quote format. LLM-generated quotes have no author. Authors are stripped from context when prompting the LLM.
