Project summary
This project is a hands-on experiment in applying AI to IoT development, where software decisions can affect how physical devices behave.
Realer is a working IoT platform for connecting, monitoring, and remotely controlling devices.
Getting an idea or an early prototype to work as a connected device involves more than building the hardware. Developers also have to deal with software, APIs, authentication, networking, and infrastructure. For an individual or a small team, that is a lot to put together before they can think about bringing a product to market.
I want to make that process easier within Realer. My plan is to improve the device-development workflow and add AI guidance that developers can use when they run into technical or safety questions.
What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?
I will start with a prototype of AI guidance for developers creating, configuring, testing, and connecting control devices to Realer. It will cover technical questions, security, safety, and relevant compliance questions. If I reach the full funding goal, I aim to turn the prototype into a first usable version within Realer’s device-development workflow.
I will test it with real device setups. For example, I want to see how it handles questions about access permissions or remote-control behavior that could be unsafe. I need to understand where its answers are useful, where they are unclear, and where they are wrong. Those findings will help me improve both the guidance and the steps developers follow.
I will also expand the cloud infrastructure needed to support more users and devices and to test the AI guidance.
Further ahead, I want developers to be able to sell the control devices they create to other users through a marketplace on Realer. That is a longer-term goal.
How will this funding be used?
The funding would pay for AI-assisted development tools, additional cloud infrastructure, and my time working on the device-development workflow and AI guidance.
With the minimum funding of $3,000, I would work on the project over three months, improving the existing workflow and building and testing an initial AI guidance prototype. The budget would be:
$250 per month for AI-assisted development tools;
$150 per month for additional cloud infrastructure;
$1,800 in total for my development time, or about $138 per week.
At the full funding goal of $15,000, I would work more intensively over six months. This would allow me to improve and test the workflow and develop a first usable version of AI guidance integrated into it. The budget would be:
$500 per month for AI-assisted development tools;
$300 per month for additional cloud infrastructure;
$10,200 in total for my development time, or about $392 per week.
Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?
I am Realer’s founder and solo developer. I have been working on it for more than ten years, starting long before the current generation of AI development tools existed.
The platform is online and working. I have kept developing it through technical and financial constraints. This funding would help me move forward with the next part of that work: improving how developers create connected devices and adding AI guidance to the process.
What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?
The workflow may take more work than I expect to become useful for people without specialist knowledge. Adding AI guidance does not automatically solve that problem.
The guidance could also give incomplete or incorrect advice, especially about security, safety, or compliance. Testing it with real device setups is part of the work for that reason. I will present it as help for developers, not as a guarantee that their device is safe or compliant.
There is also the question of resources. I develop and maintain Realer on my own, and the tools, AI usage, and cloud infrastructure have ongoing costs. Limited funding could mean I cannot complete everything within the proposed period.
If that happens, I will continue developing Realer. The improvements and prototype would still be useful, but further progress would be slower.
How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?
I have not received external investment or grant funding for Realer in the last 12 months. I have been funding its development myself.
