Projects

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: Developing the pipeline to take the Home Assistant video feed and split into frames for processing by a Vision LLM like LLaVA for image recognition/analysis.

BurmGPT

STATUS: ON HOLD

The vision is to build a private, self-hosted home assistant that replaces both ChatGPT and Google assistant for our queries, schedule management, collaboration, tasks, and home automation needs.

PROGRESS: LibreChat-powered UI and agents are ready, so after some tweaks to web search results the n8n pipelines are next, but this project is on hold until AI Lifeguard is complete.
