LyfAI

Thanks, @kevin , for hunting LyfAI. PH community, Join us on a journey to reverse consumerism by reducing the need for people to buy things they don't need. We can do that. Together! How did LyfAI come to life? Which problem did I want to solve? Family of 5 people - an abundance of things that are "needed." Small living space - extremely cluttered to allow for easy access. That created such uneasiness, which made me not want to spend time at home. Marie Kondo, home organization books, and numerous minimalist blog posts helped some, but it was hard to get the family to agree on what we are keeping or discarding. In fact, I was not ready to give up on many things I didn't have an immediate use for. My question was: How do we create a minimalistic living space but still preserve access to important things that we occasionally need? So I started organizing all things that we don't often use into boxes and kept track of all items that I put in them. It made a huge difference, but the process to catalog items and search for them was cumbersome, so we went back to clutter pretty quickly. Finally, after not being satisfied with the app options on the market, I decided to put together an app with all the options we needed. Boy, it took months, but the result is pretty impressive. The ability to move things out of sight and be confident that we can find and access them easily created such a difference to our living space and changed my wife's and my relationship with our belongings. Thanks, @marko_arsic , for your work on building LyfAI. This would not have happened without you. Cherry on top - we just created and certified Alexa Skill, which adds the convenience of using voice to look up anything you added through the app without pulling up the phone. Please try it out and let us know your thoughts.

Love it. I was just wondering why is it free and how do you make money?

This seems very useful. Any plans on integrating it somehow with Home Assisstant? You could for example import the existing rooms from HA, place items into those rooms, and then have HA automatically flash smart lights in the exact room the item is in or similar, when you or someone else in your household is trying to find it.

Congrats on the launch! 1) Can I use the app to find my keys? :) 2) Now seriously, I dig the idea. I always wonder where some of my stuff is. How do you manage the situation when I move something and I don't update the app? 3) how do you respect privacy if you use Alexa in the chain?

Well done !! Congratulation and good luck !!

Bit of skeptical about the present, but no doubt this can super useful, need to try. Could I create a record via voice and then search it with text?

Congrats on launch! Cool concept. The app recognizes images of everyday things surprisingly well. Curious how that works?
