Lets Deaf/HoH users make real phone calls without a human interpreter: sign at a webcam, an on-device recognizer converts signs to intent, and a voice agent conducts the call over Twilio with replies streamed back as live captions. Built at the YC Voice Agents Hackathon 2026.
Quillwright
Agent for tradespeople that turns a plain-language job description into a drafted estimate, powered by fine-tuned small models that can run fully off-grid. Built for the Build Small hackathon; written up on the blog.
Tavril
On-device pharmacokinetic digital twin for medication safety: voice input runs through Gemma function-calling into a PK engine that surfaces time-aware drug/food interaction risk, entirely on the phone. Built at the YC × Google DeepMind × Cactus hackathon 2026.
Street Fighter AI
Reinforcement learning model that learns to play Street Fighter on Game Boy Color.
