Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Today’s AI can answer questions, generate content, and offer suggestions—but most of it still lives inside a chat box. You have to recognize the problem, write the right prompt, copy the result, switch between apps, and complete the task yourself. Every new app requires another integration. Every new session starts with missing context. And when an AI agent is allowed to take action, trusting it with your screen, files, and accounts becomes a new concern. AI has become more capable—but for most people, it still hasn’t become truly usable.
Violoop is a screen-aware, plug-in AI hardware device that acts as a local “AI desktop intern”. It mirrors your display via HDMI or USB-C, reads your screen contextually, and inputs tasks across 200+ apps like a physical keyboard/mouse (USB-HID emulation)—all without requiring custom software APIs or background drivers.
As of October 3rd, this project has raised $2 million of their $9,993 goal. This project has 25 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $399, you will get one Violoop. For a pledge of $759, you will get two Violoop’s. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bvio/violoop-plug-in-ai-for-your-computer?
