Join [AI Stack devs](https://discord.gg/TsWCNVvRP5)\n\nThis starter kit is super simple: it allows you to use your Raspberry Pi to monitor what your cat does at home, and email you when your cat does something it's not supposed to do. **My #1 use case is detecting if my cats are jumping on my dinning table or kitchen counter.** You could also opt to turn this into an AI narrator, where the voice narrates on everything it sees.\n\nOf course this doesn't just work for cats 😄. You are welcomed to simply change the prompts and do other kinds of detections:\n\n- 🐦 for bird watching: email a summary of what birds came by during the day, for the birdies\n- 🐻 Racoon deterrent (I have not tried this, but you can?): play loud sound when AI sees Racoons going through your trash cans. You need an external speaker attached to your RPi if you want to do this.\n- 🪴 Plant monitor: email you when your plants are dying from not being watered\n- 📦 Package alert: email when there's a new package delivered at the door, even better, AI can tell you if it's a big one\n- (submit your fun use cases!)\n\n## Stack\n\n- 🧠 Multi-modal models: OpenAI\n- 📫 Notification: [Resend](https://resend.com/)\n- 📢 Narration (optional): [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/)\n- 💻 Orchestration and function calling: [Langchain](https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction/)\n- 📖 Docs: [Mintlify](https://ai-cat-detection.yoko.dev/introduction)\n- 🐱 Cats\n\n## Overview\n\n- 🚀 [Quickstart](#quickstart)\n- 💻 [Dev Environment](#dev-environment)\n\n## Quickstart\n\nTo try out this starter kit, you need a Raspberry Pi with a camera module, optionally a speaker module for narration!\n\nI can send you one if you are one of the first few lucky people to try this kit :).
