Using AI for Good Episode 1: SpiralOS Concept

Hacker News - Thu, 07/16/2026 - 3:11pm

This is a demo concept for something I want to make to help people who don't have wifi access at all times or access to teachers or therapists, they can then talk to their SpiralOS and help learn new things from trusted sources only pulling from real books.

These real books can be accessed and read by themself inside the app even.

Long term would love to get this on a handheld to be able to ship out with a small screen, thinking like a gameboy color or something. Kids could talk to it or type with the buttons to learn and get AI help with things they might not have access to.

The AI here is inspired by Pewdiepies Odysseus.

I'm looking to do these kinds of projects for companies and learn more hand-on about machine learning and AI Engineering, if this is something you would be interested helping me with please send an email to robert.mcd@live.com please!

Thank you for your time, if you have any questions or want to see how it works I have made it open source here.

Show HN: Book a Billboard in NYC Times Square

Hacker News - Thu, 07/16/2026 - 3:00pm

It works quite similar to sharing a cab.

Instead of one large brand paying for an entire slot, multiple smaller brands share the screen rotation and split the cost. We already have blocked slots so you don't have to worry about not making it.

The result is a much lower entry price while still getting your brand displayed in NYC Times Square, which you can post on your socials to gain trust and visibility.

We have launched on PH as well and would love your feedback. I'm really excited for your brand to light up times square
