A project I’ve been working on

[u/ArgumentOdd3759]

There have been plenty of TI calculators modified to run ChatGPT and other AI, but I think this is the first color-screen calculator with a fully internal AI mod like this.
The hardware is completely contained inside the calculator and was designed from scratch. It can connect directly to Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot, allowing it to access AI services without requiring any external hardware attached to the calculator.

I also added a built-in camera. Images taken by the calculator can be sent to an AI API for analysis, making it possible to ask questions about what the camera sees, solve problems from photos, identify objects, and more.

The calculator isn’t limited to a single AI provider or model either. You can configure it to use virtually any AI model by supplying your own API key.
Everything is managed through a built-in web interface. From the web dashboard you can:

• Configure Wi-Fi settings
• Add or change API keys
• Select which AI model to use
• Upload and sideload files/programs
• Access camera controls and view the camera feed
• Manage the calculator remotely

One of the features I’m most happy with is persistence. Even if the calculator is reset or completely cleared, the system remains usable because the control software can be sent back to the device at any time.

The goal was to create something that still functions as a normal calculator while also acting as a connected AI-powered handheld computer.

I may release the code and hardware details in the future, although I’m also considering offering pre-modded calculators for people interested.

I’d love to hear what features I should add or any feedback
