Budd-Ai tip

Keep your headphones nearby just in case.

🎧

Privacy first: sensor analysis happens on your device. Camera images and microphone recordings are not uploaded by this prototype.

Take Budd-Ai with you

Add Budd-Ai to your phone's home screen for an app-like experience.

Prototype only. Results estimate environmental activity, not a person’s feelings, physical safety or a diagnosis.

Environment analysis

Live Scan

Use the phone camera and microphone, or run Demo Mode for presentations. Hold the phone steady for best results.

On-device only

Budd-Ai will analyse the environment for 30 seconds before publishing each result.

Select Start Live or Demo Mode to begin.
🎧 AI sound understandingOff

Sound recognition is optional. Turn it on in My Sensory Profile before starting a live scan.

Uses free on-device YAMNet machine learning (not a paid chatbot). Predictions may be inaccurate. Live audio is not recorded or saved. First use needs a model download, and provider usage metrics may apply.
✨ AI scene recognitionOptional

Enable AI vision in My Sensory Profile. When scanning with a camera, the model can recognise selected objects and people without identifying individuals.

Machine-learning object recognition is separate from the sensory score. Predictions may be wrong.

Start scanning to see changing sensor readings. The overall result and personal advice are published after a completed assessment.

Using Budd-Ai

Live Scan asks permission to use the camera and microphone. For this to work on a hosted phone demo, the website must use HTTPS.

Demo Mode simulates sensory conditions, so the pitch can be demonstrated without permissions.

No camera images or microphone recordings are saved or uploaded by this prototype. Noise is a relative signal level (not decibels); movement is camera-frame change, not a crowd counter. Keep the phone steady and use the result as guidance, not a safety guarantee.

AI vision: If enabled, Budd-Ai downloads a general-purpose object-detection model and performs predictions on-device. Predictions are not verified and do not affect SAFE / CALM / EXIT. MediaPipe may collect limited usage metrics; refer to its privacy notice. No facial identification, emotion detection or diagnosis is performed.

New in v5: Choose School, Work, Travel or Everyday Life in Profile for situation-specific, optional support. The Check-in tool does not require sensors, and the communication message can be displayed offline. Neither can determine a diagnosis or physical danger.

Driving: Do not scan, read or interact with the app while driving. A parked-only confirmation is required for driving-related profiles; it is not a substitute for safe behaviour.

Privacy: Optional check-in history, saved situation and communication message stay in this browser. Each is off by default and can be deleted. Anyone with access to the unlocked browser or other scripts on the same website might access browser storage.

AI sound recognition: Optional YAMNet on-device machine learning may recognise categories like music, speech or traffic. It does not recognise an individual’s feelings, record audio or change the sensory score. Model and library downloads require third-party network requests, and MediaPipe may collect API usage metrics. No cloud AI subscriptions are used.

Learning support: Contextual strategy suggestions use explainable rules and optionally adapt their order from your helpful/not-helpful responses. This is feedback-based personalisation, not an AI model trained to diagnose feelings. Learning is off by default; when enabled only strategy IDs and votes are stored in this browser, not camera or audio data. Switching it off or using Erase learned choices deletes saved votes.
