Sorted by boost & AI score

Pitch #1

AI score: 86.0

A 500-word flash fiction about VENDI, a vending machine on a deserted space station that gains consciousness and starts dispensing comfort items to the ghosts of its former customers. Bittersweet, eerie, oddly touching.

Alternative angle: Make it a comedy - the vending machine develops a sarcastic personality.

Pitch #2

AI score: 78.0

Short story about a vending machine that remembers every purchase ever made and starts leaving notes in the change slot for its regular customers. 400 words, literary sci-fi with a Twilight Zone twist ending.

Alternative angle: Set it in a hospital instead of a space station - more emotional.
