This is a computer vision model I made to see if I could use computer vision to help me identify the chocolates in a box of See's Candies. You can try it out at https://universe.roboflow.com/chocolates/valentines-chocolat...

If you're interested in reading more about the project and how I did it, I wrote a post for the Roboflow blog: https://blog.roboflow.com/identifying-chocolates-with-comput...

One of the coolest parts about this for me is that Karen built this as a (non-technical) designer.

We took a page out of Twilio's book[1] and made it part of our culture that every new Roboflower builds a computer vision project as part of their onboarding.

As a tool that's meant for non-experts, dogfooding things internally like this surfaces a lot of places where we can make things simpler and more understandable.
