Show HN: OpenAI/reflect – Physical AI Assistant that illuminates your life

27 Sean-Der 10 8/19/2025, 7:48:38 PM github.com ↗

I have been working on making WebRTC + Embedded Devices easier for a few years. This is a hackathon project that pulled some of that together. I hope others build on it/it inspires them to play with hardware. I worked on it with two other people and I had a lot of fun with some of the ideas that came out of it.

* Extendable/hackable - I tried to keep the code as simple as possible so others can fork/modify easily.

* Communicate with light. With function calling it changes the light bulb, so it can match your mood or feelings.

* Populate info from clients you control. I wanted to experiment with having it guide you through yesterday/today.

* Phone as control. Setting up new devices can be frustrating. I liked that this didn't require any WiFi setup, it just routed everything through your phone. Also cool then that they device doesn't actually have any sensitive data on it.

Somewhere in here there's a joke about how many tokens it takes to turn on a lightbulb.

It deserves a minor rewrite of the Black Mirror episode Fifteen Million Merits where people do menial labor like folding laundry and washing dishes to earn tokens so that their LLM will dispense their toothpaste and send Studio Ghibli stylized birthday cards to their friends.

inb4: When sama and co talk about UBI, they mean a variation of it based around a memecoin tethered/indexed on (tik)tokens.

I also have been working with Daily on https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat-esp32

I see so much potential if I can make hardware hacking + WebRTC easy. Not just for AI assistants but security cameras + robotics. If anyone has questions/ideas/feedback here to help :)

what is Daily?

lagrange77 · 25m ago

Is it my browser, or does the video in the readme not have sound?

If you want to know what this is about, here’s the video they provided:

I love seeing that hackathons are encouraged inside OpenAI and most importantly, that their outcome is also shared :)

TZubiri · 1h ago

I get that this is as-is, but I wonder if so many ultra-alpha products don't dilute the OpenAI brand and create redundancy in the product line. It feels like the opposite of Apple's well thought out planned product design and product line.

Let's see if it pays out.

They're selling shares at a $500B valuation. The market is telling them everything they are doing is amazing.
