Merliot – plugging physical devices into LLMs

In plain words

Merliot Hub is a device hub that connects physical devices like security cameras and thermostats to large language models such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. Users can control and interact with their devices using natural language commands through the AI host. The hub acts as a gateway between AI systems and physical hardware, enabling seamless device management through conversational interfaces.

What does that mean? It means you can control and interact with your physical devices, your security cameras, your thermometer, seamlessly using natural language from an LLM host such as Claude Desktop or Cursor . The hub is a gateway between AI and the physical world. Which devices? Sorry, not any of the consumer-grade Smart devices such as Smart security cameras, Smart lights, and Smart thermostats. Merliot Hub only supports devices you build. You build devices from hobby-grade components which are readily available, like Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, buttons, relays, and sensors. You need maker-level skills to build the devices. The hub includes a parts list and instructions for building each…from github.com

  Frustrated by AI assistants that can only suggest actions but never take them, I built Merlio (https://merlio.app) - an AI that generates charts, searches the web, creates images, and analyzes YouTube videos directly within conversations. Built with React, it functions as an AI hub providing access to multiple models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) through a unified interface. The custom LLM orchestration layer enables the AI to execute tools with proper parameters and process results while maintaining conversation flow. Users are visualizing data, generating designs, and summarizing…

  I’ve been building a small hardware box that runs local LLMs like Mistral, Qwen and Llama, and exposes an OpenAI compatible API on your local network. There’s no cloud, no login system and no telemetry. I built it because a lot of small firms want ChatGPTbstyle tools but can’t use cloud AI for privacy or compliance reasons, and most don’t want to deal with GPU servers, drivers, Docker or model configs. The aim is to make local AI feel as simple as plugging in a router. Right now the box boots into a very simple web UI where you choose a model and start using it. The API follows the OpenAI…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
