  text: Interactive stories can be an effective approach for teaching purposes. One
    shortcoming is the effort necessary to author and create these stories, especially
    complex storylines with choices for the readers. Based on recent advances in Natural
    Language Processing (NLP), new opportunities arise for assistance systems in the
    context of interactive stories. In our work, we present an authoring approach
    and prototypical tool for the creation of visual comic-strip like interactive
    stories, a type of hypercomics, that integrate an Artificial Intelligence (AI)
    assistance. Such comics are already used in our Gekonnt hanDeln web platform.
    The AI assistance provides suggestions for the overall story outline as well as
    how to design and write individual story frames. We provide a detailed description
    about the approach and its prototypical implementation. Furthermore, we present
    a study evaluating the prototype with student groups and how the prototype evolved
    in an iterative style based on the students’ feedback.
