AI-written message describing movement detected by a camera

Hi everyone :slight_smile:

This is a topic I’ve wanted to do for a long time, especially the « Ask the AI a question from scenes Â» part (even without an image) to be able to receive proactive notifications from the AI (futuristic!)

Since I was working on the ChatGPT part this morning I developed this feature, which wasn’t very complicated with the new vision API of GPT-4o mini :slight_smile:

Ask the AI to describe a camera image

In a scene, it becomes possible to ask the AI to react to a camera image:

Which then sends me a notification to my phone; for example, here there was nothing on the camera:

Ask the AI to take an action based on a camera

If we go further, it’s possible to take the garage camera and react based on the car that just arrived:

I took an image from the internet of a garage with this exact car, and I get:

Now, let’s change the car description:

This time, the AI understands what’s happening and warns me:

This is pretty crazy!!!

The possibilities are endless

This feature is quite futuristic, and since it’s possible to inject variables into the message, it enables a lot of things

  • Analyze the day’s weather report and write me a short summary sent to my phone every morning at 8 AM
  • If the alarm goes off at my house, create a message that summarizes what’s happening: sensor states, image analysis, etc.. — all combined into a single message!
  • Analysis of any image, whether the image comes from a camera at my home or from an online stream — everything is possible
  • and many more!!

What do you think?
