The capability leap in multimodal models opens up so much imagination for vision and thinking use cases. FixBot, by iFixit, is a classic example of this.
It uses AI to visually diagnose problems from photos and provides hands-free voice guidance grounded in their massive library of repair guides. So it can solve the real problem of needing answers when your hands are full of tools.
Your stuff belongs to you. You should be able to fix it. And now you can.
I cannot think of a better ending than that.
P.S. Interestingly, I noticed some controversy regarding the relationship between the product and the community, plus the classic issue of data and AI. We have seen similar debates from tech giants to startups over the last three years. In a time of such rapid foundational change, this discussion will continue and friction will persist, but the trend is unstoppable. The challenge for all makers has always been, and will always be, the art of balance.
Wow, I Fix It looks incredible! The hands-free guidance is a total game changer. How accurate is the visual analysis on really old or damaged devices?
