Hack #1: Firecrawl · Firecrawl

I built a hardware agent that uses your camera to source parts while you work. The system prompts you to take measurements on camera, uses vision to identify parts, sources them from vendors like McMaster-Carr, and retrieves product data and 3D CAD files. In the demo, it identifies and sources an unknown part, finds a compatible part for an existing assembly, and pulls 3D files for use directly in CAD. The project explores a hardware workflow that makes interacting with physical objects feel more seamless inside a 3D design environment. Instead of manually switching between measuring parts, searching vendor catalogs, comparing specifications, and locating CAD assets, the agent brings those steps into a more continuous workflow. The goal is to reduce friction for engineers, designers, and builders by combining camera input, part sourcing, CAD retrieval, and voice interaction into a single system. Firecrawl and ElevenLabs support different parts of that workflow. Firecrawl Scrape is used to source parts and collect their product data, while Firecrawl Interact is used to download their 3D files and store them in a CAD inventory. ElevenLabs Agents power the spoken interaction layer, enabling a more hands-free, multitask-oriented experience while the user continues working. video: https://x.com/evvaaannnn/status/2037121927660396559?s=20
