βοΈ How it works
The FlameGuard AIβ’ Process
- πΈ Upload: User uploads a photo of their property
- ποΈ AI Vision Analysis: OpenAI Vision API identifies specific vulnerabilities (e.g., flammable roof, dry brush nearby)
- π Deep Research: For each risk, we generate a custom research plan and run iterative agentic-style calls to Perplexity Sonar
- π Report Generation: Research is aggregated, organized, and formatted into an actionable HTML report β complete with citations, links, and visual guidance
- π§ Delivery: Detailed report sent via email with DIY solutions and professional recommendations
π Deep Research with Perplexity Sonar API
The real innovation is how we use the Perplexity Sonar API:- We treat it like a research assistant gathering the best available information
- Each vulnerability triggers multiple queries covering severity, mitigation strategies, and localized insights
- Results include regional fire codes, weather patterns, and local contractor availability
Technical Stack
FlameGuard AIβ’ is powered by a modern GenAI stack and built to scale:- Frontend: Lightweight HTML dashboard with user account control, photo upload, and report access
- Backend: Python (Flask) with RESTful APIs
- Database: PostgreSQL (local) with Azure SQL-ready schema
- AI Integration: OpenAI Vision API + Perplexity Sonar API
- Cloud-ready: Built for Azure App Service with Dockerized deployment
π Accomplishments that weβre proud of
- Successfully used OpenAI Vision + Perplexity Sonar API together in a meaningful, real-world workflow
- Built a functioning MCP server that integrates seamlessly with Claude for desktop users
- Created a product that is genuinely useful for homeowners today β not just a demo
- Kept the experience simple, affordable, and scalable from the ground up
- Made structured deep research feel accessible and trustworthy
π What we learned
- The Perplexity Sonar API is incredibly powerful when used agentically β not just for answers, but for reasoning.
- Combining multimodal AI (image + research) opens up powerful decision-support tools.
- Users want actionable insights, not just data β pairing research with guidance makes all the difference.
- Trust and clarity are key: our design had to communicate complex information simply and helpfully.
