The full story

Over five weeks a parent built a family assistant with Claude Code and Google's ADK that knows the household's calendar, kitchen and bin days. It appears as a ghost in a little castle who waves, holds props and can be dressed up, which is why the family actually opens the app. The useful part is a Gemini Live voice agent that handles the shopping list, meal plan, recipes, calendar, chores, lights and robot vacuum, with an undo card for every action, and hands harder questions to Claude. It also replaced the phone's assistant, with simple commands matched straight to Home Assistant entities.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
