Physical diffusion-powered instant camera with multi-backend A/B testing.

Strengths
  • Multi-provider routing (OpenAI, Gemini, Modal, Perplexity) enables real A/B testing
  • Closed-loop hardware + AI makes a genuinely fun artifact people want to build
Weaknesses
  • Hackathon project with no consumer path; thermal paper costs and backend fees scale poorly
  • AI generation is the only novelty—hardware enclosure is standard maker work
