Voice-activated sticker box / AI × hardware

A voice into a sticker.

Say an idea aloud. The box turns it into an image and prints the result as a sticker. One small prototype connects AI software to something you can hold.

Voice input → generated artwork → thermal print

From prompt to print

Four steps. One physical result.

The build combines an INMP441 microphone, Deepgram, fal.ai, and a thermal printer. It is a practical example of designing across the interface, AI pipeline, and electronics.
