Oculette

by @oculetteai

I'm building Oculette (https://prelaunch.oculette.ai/). Basically, I hooked up an ESP32 camera to a vision model so I can prompt it to watch stuff and send webhooks. Thinking analog gauges, legacy equipment, sourdough starters (still no API), and stuff like that. Been dogfooding the prototype on my desk, and now I have an air quality API that reads the display on a cheap monitor. Also added direct camera access via MCP so Claude could help me debug the hardware, which has been pretty fun.
