I built a bark logger to prove the neighbor's dog barks for hours

One of several tools he built with AI: a program that listens for the neighbor's dog, detects the barking and logs it to a spreadsheet, so he has a record before he complains.

How it works

  1. Build a program with AI that listens for barking
  2. It detects barking events
  3. Each event is logged to a spreadsheet
  4. The log becomes his evidence for a complaint

Why it’s worth knowing

Most people argue with the neighbor; he built a listening witness that keeps receipts in a spreadsheet.
