Origins

We’re Tianyi and Lucas, two UPenn CS dropouts who love building. Between us, we’re 9x hackathon winners and have conducted research at Stanford and Wolfram Research, and published at ICML. When we wanted to build a home AI device for themselves, we found ourselves faced with more questions along every step of the process. Which connector did we need for this? Would the components fit inside the case? Where could we buy the parts, and when would they arrive? Were they compatible? For someone who had never built hardware before, that was an enormous amount to learn just to make one thing. We don’t think that should be the price of admission. We’re building Confetti so you can describe what you want, work through the details, and keep refining it as your idea takes shape, with AI agents handling the hard parts of the process.
