Clarifai Featured Hack: Make The Perfect Toast With Toastifai, An AI-powered Toaster

Toastifai is an innovative AI-powered toaster developed by Jessie Pullaro and Frank Callas, students at Florida Polytechnic University, which employs Clarifai’s visual recognition API to achieve the perfect level of toastiness. By training a visual recognition model with images of toast at various stages, the team created a toaster capable of identifying and stopping the toasting process at the optimal moment, even sending a text alert when the toast is ready. The project, which integrates Python, openCV, Pillow, Twillio, a Logitech camera, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and temperature sensors, was inspired by a desire to eliminate the common issue of burnt or forgotten toast. The developers praised the ease of use and low latency of the Clarifai API, highlighting its drag-and-drop features and simplicity, which greatly facilitated their work.
