Hi HN! Proud to share our open-source robot platform, Dobb·E, a home robot system that needs just 5 minutes of human teaching to learn new tasks. We've already taken Dobb·E to 10 different homes in New York, taught it 100+ tasks, and we are just getting started! I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Here are some more details, below (or see a Twitter thread with attached media: https://twitter.com/i/status/1729515379892826211 or https://nitter.net/i/status/1729515379892826211): We engineered Dobb·E to maximize efficiency, safety, and…

Hi HN! This is an SDK for ESP32s (microcontrollers) that runs against OpenAI's new WebRTC service [0] My hope is that people can easily add AI to lots of 'real' devices. Wearable devices, speakers around the house, toys etc... You don't have to write any code, just buy a device and set some env variables. If you have any feedback/questions I would love to hear! I hope this kicks off a generation of new interesting devices. If you aren't familiar with WebRTC it can do some magical things. Check out WebRTC for the Curious[1] and would love to talk about all the cool things that does also.…

I built a free advent calendar that teaches practical AI skills to small business owners—one tip per day in December. The problem: Most AI education is either too technical (fine-tuning models, prompt engineering deep-dives) or too vague ("AI will change everything!"). Small business owners just want to know: "What can I do TODAY that saves time?" Each day covers one specific, actionable tip that takes <15 minutes to implement. Examples: using Deep Research for competitor analysis, AI tools for graphics creation, automating customer review responses. From real customers or my personal…
