Where Is Everything

I have been working on another app with Codex. It is called Where Is Everything. It is for things at home that we own but cannot find.

The idea is to take a photograph of a drawer, shelf, or table and let the app remember what is there. I will add a note if something needs explaining. Later, anyone in the family can ask where something was last seen.

I do not want to record every time someone moves something. That would be too much work. A few photographs and notes should still be useful, even with gaps. The app needs to say when it does not know.

The first version is running on my Ubuntu computer. I uploaded a photograph of my work desk. The room is both my office and the children’s playroom.

It recorded 22 objects from that photograph, including a monitor, laptop, speakers, telephone, lamp, and wristwatch. It also asked when the photograph was taken.

I do not like the user interface. Right now, this application is a POC of a POC.

I have not checked everything it identified yet. Next, I will study the underlying architecture of the application Codex has built. This will help me give Codex further directions. I will first check whether the intelligence engine works as intended and is useful. I will give the user interface secondary priority.
