Core AI Capabilities

Claude Opus 4.5 Vision API powers every aspect of Edward's monitoring system, from real-time visual analysis to long-term behavioral pattern recognition.

👁️

Visual Analysis

Dual HD camera input with real-time object recognition, activity classification, and precise location tracking across both floors.

🧠

RAG Memory System

Retrieval-Augmented Generation builds contextual memory from historical data, enabling Claude to make informed, data-driven decisions.

📊

Pattern Recognition

Identifies and strengthens behavioral patterns over time, learning Edward's habits, preferences, and daily rhythms.

🚨

Smart Alerts

Configurable thresholds for eating, drinking, visibility, and health monitoring with browser & sound notifications.

🔊

Voice Commentary

Web Speech API integration narrates Edward's activities in real-time, providing live audio updates during streams.

📺

Live Streaming

MJPEG live video streams with WebSocket real-time updates, optimized for OBS streaming to pump.fun.
