> asks Claude whether birds are present

I would ask Claude to write some computer vision code to detect birds and save a lot of money

I have it down to $0.60/month which is lower than I expected I could get it with good accuracy. That's ~10k images processed.
I guess one could use this in security detection as well
True. Simple prompt change to spray humans, instead.
What is the use case for this?
I had a lot of nuisance birds hanging around my parents' pool

Nice, thanks!
Very cool
