Hi everyone!

I have built an AI health device (ESP8266 + 240*240 screen). It can show AI Agents' status in real time with breathing bubble. And remind user dringking water, toilet, streth, etc.

support: DeepSeek Harness, opencode, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor.

Hardware design, firmware and plugins are all opensource. urls are here:

https://github.com/lovaxi/Rubato_Device https://github.com/lovaxi/Rubato_Plugins

Type-c power supply, 2.4G wifi.

Online sell on Tindie: https://www.tindie.com/products/beartificialintelligence/rub.... But building your own is also OK.

Ask me anything.

Thanks.

The UI looks good and aligns well with your retro positioning.

Open-source the project is smart to allow the community to build plugins and have fun with the device.
