Big Brother

Big Brother is an agentic AI tool that looks at your webcam, screenshare, and browser contents to make sure that you're on-task by verbal reminder. Like studying with a friend.

Inspiration

I like studying with friends or in public spaces because people see what you're doing and keeps you accountable. The problem is that going to public or arranging friends take a lot of time and energy and I just don't like the inconvenience. Bigbrother is a substitute for that.

What it does

Your webcam and screenshare activities are snapped at a 2 second interval. A vision-language model summarises the content. These info get passed into a watcher AI that processes the raw evidence further by filtering it to evidence relevant to suggesting off-tasking. If it catches off-tasking twice in a row, a Main Processing Agent will generate an agenda for a message to the user. Then, a personality agent actor will send a styled message to the user via text to speech.
