Show HN: OpenAI/reflect – Physical AI Assistant that illuminates your life

https://github.com/openai/openai-reflect
13•Sean-Der•1h ago
I have been working on making WebRTC + Embedded Devices easier for a few years. This is a hackathon project that pulled some of that together. I hope others build on it/it inspires them to play with hardware. I worked on it with two other people and I had a lot of fun with some of the ideas that came out of it.

* Extendable/hackable - I tried to keep the code as simple as possible so others can fork/modify easily.

* Communicate with light. With function calling it changes the light bulb, so it can match your mood or feelings.

* Populate info from clients you control. I wanted to experiment with having it guide you through yesterday/today.

* Phone as control. Setting up new devices can be frustrating. I liked that this didn't require any WiFi setup, it just routed everything through your phone. Also cool then that they device doesn't actually have any sensitive data on it.

I also have been working with Daily on https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat-esp32

I see so much potential if I can make hardware hacking + WebRTC easy. Not just for AI assistants but security cameras + robotics. If anyone has questions/ideas/feedback here to help :)

I get that this is as-is, but I wonder if so many ultra-alpha products don't dilute the OpenAI brand and create redundancy in the product line. It feels like the opposite of Apple's well thought out planned product design and product line.

Let's see if it pays out.
