Hi everyone, I wanted to reply here about a **very** similar project I just did to this one. I’m an engineer and sort of ran away with the idea of making an AI-image system for WaniKani on my own.

I did a lot of testing and research around generating images and scripting things to auto-create a ton of the kanji mnemonics. I’d love to collaborate with this group and see if anyone is interested in the work I’ve done so far. I’m happy to share what I did and answer questions. For me, this was an exercise in programming, AI and writing about my engineering process more than anything. I wrote a long breakdown of what I built and why in an article [here](https://www.spiritedplan.com/ai-visuals-japanese)

Feel free to try out the chrome extension I built [here](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaniai/ociiaingccfcmmdckbngofhfoanligkh) - (Works for levels 1-4 presently).

I realize there is a lot of overlap, and that my approach might not be exactly the same as what this volunteer based project is doing - but I’d love to trade thoughts and ideas with anyone that is interested. Who knows, perhaps there is room for our tools to work together somehow?
