AI Insights from Our Team
Our engineers share practical AI knowledge from real-world projects.
On-Device OCR on Android with ML Kit Text Recognition v2 and CameraX
A step-by-step guide to building a real-time VIN scanner using ML Kit Text Recognition v2, CameraX, and Jetpack Compose. Includes the full POC repo, backpressure strategy for live scanning, and VIN validation with check-digit verification.
Prompt Injection on Gemini Nano: How We Stopped It
We attacked Gemini Nano with prompt injection — it worked. The model's safety training made it too trusting. Here's our defense-in-depth approach to hardening on-device AI.
AI Writes Better Code. We're Getting Worse at Reviewing It.
AI moved the hard part from writing to reviewing. The vigilance failures plaguing pilots and radiologists now hit code review. Here's how teams can adapt.
Fixing Gemini Nano's Accuracy with a Bigger Model
Nano misclassified foods and was case-sensitive. We used Gemini Pro to rewrite the prompt — with prefix caching, inference hit 1.0s. Results inside.
The AI Context Reset That Catches Real Bugs 1 in 3 Times
We refine code iteratively in one AI session, then reset context for a fresh review. That simple trick surfaces a meaningful bug roughly once every three sessions.
Building an On-Device AI App with Gemini Nano in Kotlin
We classified pantry items on-device with the ML Kit GenAI Prompt API — zero cloud costs, offline support. Structured JSON output ran in 1.36s vs 5.9s for freeform. Full Kotlin source and device compatibility list.
