Timeline Manipulator is a conspiracy corkboard that traces the ripple effects of world events. Pick an event from the carousel — or type your own — and watch as a sarcastic AI narrator walks you through the chain of consequences over custom noir jazz, from global catastrophe down to your morning coffee costing more. Turbopuffer powers two things: BM25 full-text search retrieves historical parallels from seeded world events for richer analysis, and semantic deduplication of custom events so repeat queries serve cached results instantly instead of burning API calls. ElevenLabs has five integration points: Text-to-Speech with a custom voice clone narrates every ripple. The Music API generates unique noir jazz per event, mood-matched to the crisis. The Sound Effects API creates domain-specific ambient audio per consequence card. All generated live for custom events, pre-cached for the 20 built-in scenarios. Also powered by Claude API for ripple-effect analysis with model fallback, React + Vite frontend, and Netlify Functions backend. 20 pre-cached events with full audio, live custom event analysis, branching timeline choices with glitch transitions, and a CASE CLOSED stamp when the investigation ends. Built by ReddX Industries from the Philippines.
