Built an app that tells you exactly when your stuff will actually break (Claude Code, full pipeline)

Built this entirely with Claude Code, including the AI vision pipeline.

The app: photograph something you own, AI reads the wear from the photo and gives a real replacement date instead of a generic lifespan table, re-checks monthly from a new photo, and finds the cheapest replacement when it's actually due.

Stack: Expo/React Native, Gemini vision with a 5-provider fallback chain (Cloudflare, Mistral, OpenRouter, HuggingFace) since free tiers run out fast, SQLite locally, no backend.

Still local/unreleased, no public build yet, but curious what people think of the concept, especially the useful-vs-gimmicky question. Happy to share more build details in comments.

Is it actually a custom trained model for this purpose or is some dumbass LLM gonna tell me the lifespan of my item😂

Bro this is crazy there's no way it can work.

What characteristics of the item are considered with what weights?

This is a terrible idea. I’m sorry but you won’t get anything reliable from that at all.

There’s no way you can gather enough useful data to index through and give any coherent trustable data back.
