AI Lifeguard

STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT

When done, we will have a reliable AI-driven pool monitoring system that can trigger alerts/alarms when young children are unattended near our pool. LLM training will include drowning detection, but the focus is preventive, not reactive, measures.

PROGRESS: Actively training and refining the vision LLM, chaining multiple reasoning steps (detect people, identify children, check if they're alone, etc) and testing frame-masking to boost accuracy on real pool footage.
