This is definitely weird...you hit the mark. I think making the world a better place is the deepest ideal of an AI evolution. To have time to try to make things better, to focus on the things you would want to do instead of the things you have to do.
I'm not sure trying to re-imagine your past with someone else is really ever a good idea. We get to where we are by the road we travel. But hey...a funny face swap can always be good for a laugh.
I've always wanted to play the piano, but my biggest issue is finger dexterity and postion training. Could there be a mode where it isn't about playing the next note, but simply about getting your fingers into the proper positions to play a note/chord?
A phone might be too small to detect a hand, but an iPad could work. If someone could repetitively train their hands to the shape, perhaps that could be a real beginner mode?
I have struggled with this same "notification" issue. Even email at scale isn't a free solution, but the price for SMS gets prohibitive really quick.
I do think this is an interesting concept. Would API integration endpoints that users could configure directly to poll your service with their home automation assistants get past the need to be notified? If they could poll at their own pace, the could alleviate the uncontrolled cost.
I think so, but I've not prioritized that so far as I think it's going to be a bit of a niche group of people that would be able to set something like that up.
Furthermore, that group may also just pull weather data directly instead, so may not need something like this.
Originally, this started as a Home Assistant automation for myself. I realized it doesn't actually require any sensors, just a location, so I decided to build something anyone could use.
