I made an OpenAI-powered tamagotchi that reacts to what you read online

You can create your own spirit animal based on any description you provide. It responds with an AI-generated summary of the page that you are on, using meta tags in the HTML of that page. I made this during a hack week at work (koodos.com). I wanted to build something fun that used AI (this specifically uses DALL-E and GPT-3) that kind of acted like a companion as you browse the web - similar to a Tamagotchi or Clippy (rip). Would love to hear what people think of it - let me know! :)

    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…

    Tamagotchi-like characters for AI assistants in JavaScript2024 · github.com · ▲39

    I've developed a Tamagotchi-like virtual characters drawn in JavaScript. These characters can be manually controlled or interact dynamically with AI assistants, adding a visual identity and fun to AI. Imagine having an AI character that responds to user requests with different states, making interactions playful and engaging.

    I built an AI that roasts your website and gives tips to fix itSep 2025 · ai-roast-vert.vercel.app · ▲7

    Hi HN I built a fun little tool: It uses Groq’s LLaMA 3.3 + Puppeteer to analyze a website Then it roasts the design/content/UX with humor And finishes with 3–5 genuinely helpful improvement tips You can try it here: https://ai-roast-vert.vercel.app I wanted to: Practice fast idea-to-launch cycle (built in 2 days) Experiment with a viral-friendly product Monetize with a $0.55 pro version that gives a detailed roast + download Would love your feedback — on the idea, the tone, the usefulness — anything! Thanks in advance

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
