DEV Community: Arjun Sharma

Building a Vision AI That Sees Your Code and Talks Back

Arjun Sharma — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 07:57:08 +0000

This is a submission for the DEV Weekend Challenge: Community

The Community

This project is built for learners who study and build alone — developers who are grinding through tutorials late at night, students debugging code without a mentor nearby, and self-taught engineers who don't always have someone to ask "hey, does this look right?"

The dev community thrives on pair programming, code reviews, and the kind of feedback you get when someone's looking over your shoulder. But most people don't have that luxury. OneVision brings that real-time, eyes-on guidance to anyone with a browser — making the AI their always-available coding companion.

What I Built

OneVision is a real-time AI learning assistant that watches your camera or screen share, listens to your voice, and speaks back natural guidance — like a senior developer sitting next to you.

You join a video call from your browser, share your screen (or just look at the camera), and the AI agent:

Analyzes your screen — spots IDE errors, reads your code, understands what you're working on
Speaks feedback out loud — no typing, no copy-pasting: it just talks to you
Listens to your questions — ask "why is this failing?" and get a spoken answer
watches your posture / hand position via camera when you're not screen-sharing (using YOLO pose estimation)
Switches modes automatically — screen share active? It focuses on your screen. You close it? Back to camera mode.

It's designed to feel like a conversation, not a chatbot. The agent stays quiet when everything looks fine and only speaks up when it spots something worth flagging — or when you ask.

Key Features

Browser-based UI — no CLI setup required for users (but recommended for developers), just open the link and go
Auto mode switching — agent seamlessly transitions between camera and screen share analysis
Echo suppression — fuzzy-match guard prevents the agent's own voice from looping back into its "ears"
Proactive but not annoying — exponential back-off between feedback checks keeps the agent from talking over you
Three VLM providers — OpenRouter (Claude), Gemini, NVIDIA — all swappable via environment variable

Demo

Live App (Recommended setup is through CLI but for quick demo try the live app): vision-deploy-wine.vercel.app

OneVision — Real-Time Multimodal Learning Assistant

An AI tutor that watches your camera or screen share in real time, listens to your voice and speaks back actionable guidance — creating an active feedback loop for hands-on learning.

What It Does

Phase 1 — Camera Coaching

Watches live video from a call participant via camera.
Runs YOLO pose estimation on incoming video frames to detect body posture and hand positions.
Sends buffered frames to a Vision Language Model (VLM) to reason about what the user is doing.
Provides spoken guidance using Deepgram TTS.
Accepts voice questions through Deepgram STT.

Phase 2 — Screen Share Analysis

User shares their screen (IDE, terminal, circuit tool, CAD, Figma) instead of camera.

Frontend SDK	@stream-io/video-react-sdk
Backend	Python 3.11 with `uv` package management

The Tricky Parts

1. Getting video frames to actually reach the LLM

This was the biggest silent failure. The Vision Agents SDK only wires video tracks to classes that extend VideoLLM. The SDK's built-in openrouter.LLM extends OpenAILLM — not VideoLLM — so it never received a single frame. The agent was generating responses with zero visual input.

The fix: use openai.ChatCompletionsVLM pointed at OpenRouter's base URL. This class buffers frames, encodes them as base64 JPEG, and sends them as image_url content parts with every request.

# ❌ text-only — never receives video frames
from livekit.plugins import openrouter
llm = openrouter.LLM(model="claude-3.5-sonnet")

# ✅ VideoLLM — frames wired automatically by SDK
from livekit.plugins import openai as openai_plugin
llm = openai_plugin.ChatCompletionsVLM(
    model="anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    api_key=openrouter_api_key,
)

2. The echo feedback loop

When the agent speaks through TTS, the microphone picks up that audio and feeds it back into STT — the agent hears itself and responds to itself, endlessly.

The echo guard compares incoming transcripts against recently spoken text using Python's SequenceMatcher. The tricky part: STT garbles TTS output slightly ("npm" becomes "n p m", "variable" becomes "vary able"), so exact match or high-threshold fuzzy match both fail. Tuning the similarity threshold down to 0.55 and the history window to 30 seconds made it reliable.

3. Mid-sentence interruptions

Eager turn detection in Deepgram would fire a "user finished speaking" event mid-sentence if there was a half-second pause. This caused the agent to respond to incomplete thoughts. Disabling eager_turn_detection fixed the fragmented conversations entirely.

4. Keeping the agent quiet

Without careful prompt engineering, the agent narrates everything it sees — constantly. The prompts now have explicit CRITICAL RULES: never narrate, never repeat, maximum 1-2 sentences, stay silent unless asked a question or a real error is spotted. The proactive feedback loop also uses exponential back-off, doubling the interval after consecutive "no feedback needed" responses.

How I Used Redis 8

InstantCodeDB showcases Redis as a real-time AI data layer through advanced semantic caching implementation:

🎯 Vector Search & Semantic Similarity

Xenova Transformers Integration:

// Load Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model for semantic embeddings
import { pipeline } from "@xenova/transformers";

let embedder = null;
export async function getEmbedder() {
  if (!embedder) {
    console.log("🧠 Loading embedding model...");
    // Lightweight model optimized for semantic similarity
    embedder = await pipeline("feature-extraction", "Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2");
  }
  return embedder;
}

// Generate 384-dimensional embeddings for code context
export async function generateEmbedding(text: string): Promise<number[]> {
  const model = await getEmbedder();
  const output = await model(text, { pooling: "mean", normalize: true });
  return Array.from(output.data); // 384-dimensional vector
}

Redis Semantic Search Implementation:

// Create focused code context for embedding
const context = createCodeContext(
  fileContent,
  cursorLine,
  cursorColumn,
  language,
  framework
);

// Generate vector embedding using Xenova
const queryEmbedding = await generateEmbedding(context);

// Search Redis for semantically similar cached responses
const cacheKeys = await redis.keys("code_suggestion:JavaScript:React:*");
for (const key of cacheKeys) {
  const cachedEntry = JSON.parse(await redis.get(key));
  const similarity = calculateSimilarity(queryEmbedding, cachedEntry.embedding);

  if (similarity > 0.85) {
    return cachedEntry.suggestion; // 50ms response!
  }
}

Cosine Similarity Calculation:

export function calculateSimilarity(
  embedding1: number[],
  embedding2: number[]
): number {
  let dotProduct = 0,
    norm1 = 0,
    norm2 = 0;

  for (let i = 0; i < embedding1.length; i++) {
    dotProduct += embedding1[i] * embedding2[i];
    norm1 += embedding1[i] * embedding1[i];
    norm2 += embedding2[i] * embedding2[i];
  }

  const magnitude = Math.sqrt(norm1) * Math.sqrt(norm2);
  return magnitude === 0 ? 0 : dotProduct / magnitude;
}

🚀 Redis as AI Acceleration Layer

Semantic Caching: Stores AI responses with vector embeddings for similarity matching
Context-Aware Storage: Analyzes code structure, language, framework, and cursor position
Intelligent Key Structure: code_suggestion:JavaScript:React:timestamp_hash
Performance Optimization: TTL expiration, LRU cleanup, hit count tracking

📊 Real-Time Data Processing

// Redis cache entry structure
{
  id: "1704123456_abc123",
  context: "Language: JavaScript\nFramework: React\n...",
  embedding: [0.23, -0.15, 0.67, ...], // 384-dimensional vector
  suggestion: "const [count, setCount] = useState(0);",
  language: "JavaScript",
  framework: "React",
  timestamp: 1704123456789,
  hitCount: 3
}

🔄 Complete AI Workflow Integration

Code Completion: Monaco Editor → Redis Cache Lookup → Ollama (fallback) → Redis Storage
AI Chat: User Query → Vector Embedding → Redis Similarity Search → Cached Response
Performance Monitoring: Real-time Redis statistics via /api/cache-stats

🎪 Redis Features Demonstrated

Vector Storage: Efficient storage of 384-dimensional embeddings
Pattern Matching: Wildcard key searches for cache lookup
JSON Serialization: Complex cache entries with metadata
Memory Management: LRU eviction with configurable limits
Real-time Analytics: Live cache hit rates and performance metrics
TTL Management: Automatic expiration of stale cache entries

📈 Measurable Impact

Response Time: 3000ms → 50ms (95% improvement)
Cache Hit Rate: 60-80% for similar contexts
Scalability: 100x more concurrent users supported
Cost Reduction: 80% fewer LLM API calls
Developer Experience: Instant AI responses maintain coding flow

🏗️ Architecture Highlights

User Code Input → Context Analysis → Vector Embedding → Redis Lookup
                                                            ↓
                                                    Cache Hit (50ms)
                                                            ↓
                                              OR Cache Miss → Ollama → Redis Store

InstantCodeDB proves that Redis isn't just a cache—it's a powerful AI acceleration platform that can transform slow AI tools into lightning-fast, production-ready applications. The semantic caching system demonstrates Redis's capability to handle complex vector operations while maintaining sub-50ms response times, making it perfect for real-time AI applications.

From Monolith to Microservices: A Developer's Tale 🚀

Arjun Sharma — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:06:24 +0000

GitHub> featuring caffeine and questionable life choices

Hey fellow code wranglers! 👋

I was staring at the monolithic app that had more layers than my winter clothing strategy. You know that feeling when your codebase starts looking like a teenager's bedroom - everything's connected but nobody knows how? Yeah, that was me.

Today, I'm gonna spill the beans on how I transformed that spaghetti monster into a beautiful microservices architecture. Grab your favorite debugging beverage (mine's coffee, because sleep is for those who don't have production bugs), and let's dive in!

🎯 The Mission

Turn our "it works on my machine" masterpiece into something that actually works in production. Revolutionary, I know.

Here's what got built:

Identity Service (because "admin:admin" isn't a security strategy)
Post Service (where content goes to live its best life)
Media Service (handling files like a boss, not like my file cabinet)
Search Service (finding stuff faster than my keys in the morning)
API Gateway (the bouncer at our microservices club)

🛠️ The Tech Stack

This went with Node.js because, let's be honest, JavaScript is like that friend who's everywhere - might as well embrace it. Added Express.js because routing shouldn't be harder than explaining microservices to your project manager.

For data storage, I chose MongoDB because sometimes data, like life, isn't always structured. Redis joined the party for caching (because nobody likes waiting, except maybe Windows Update).

The real MVP? RabbitMQ for event messaging. It's like gossip, but for services - when something happens, everyone who cares gets to know about it.

🎭 The Plot Twist

Remember when we thought splitting services would make everything simpler? laughs in distributed systems

Here's what actually happened:

Services started talking to each other like my family at Thanksgiving dinner - chaotically
Discovered that distributed debugging is just regular debugging with extra steps
Learned that "eventual consistency" is a fancy way of saying "it'll work... eventually"

🔧 The Cool Stuff

Identity Service

Handles auth like a pro. JWT tokens flying around like confetti at a tech conference. Argon2 for password hashing because we're not savages using MD5 anymore.

Post Service

Content management with Redis caching. Because the only thing better than a fast response is a cached fast response. Added events for post creation/deletion because sometimes other services need to know when things happen (they're nosy like that).

Media Service

Cloudinary integration for media storage. Because storing files on the server is so 2010. Event handlers clean up media when posts are deleted - like a digital Marie Kondo.

Search Service

MongoDB text search with real-time indexing. It's like Google, but for our stuff, and maybe slightly (okay, a lot) less sophisticated.

🎉 The Happy Ending

The services are now happily living in their Docker containers, communicating through our API Gateway, and scaling like gym enthusiasts in January.

Some wisdom gained:

Microservices are like Lego blocks - fun to play with, painful when you step on them
Docker makes everything better (except your disk space)
Never underestimate the power of good logging (your future self will thank you)
Redis is love, Redis is life
RabbitMQ is not just a cute name for a message broker

🎯 The Future

It's not done yet! Up next:

Service discovery (because hardcoding URLs is so last season)
Better monitoring (because console.log isn't a monitoring strategy)
Kubernetes (because why make life easy when you can make it interesting?)
And docs (Why not!!)

If you've made it this far, congratulations! You now know more about ServiceMeshX microservices journey than my rubber duck debugger.

Remember: In microservices, like in life, it's okay if everything isn't strongly consistent all the time. Sometimes, being eventually consistent is good enough.

Happy coding! And remember, if your microservices aren't talking to each other, try couples therapy (or check your RabbitMQ connections).

P.S. No monoliths were harmed in the making of this architecture. They were just peacefully decomposed into microservices. 🪦

🛡️ AnonGuard: Anonymous Reporting Made Safe | Built with GitHub Copilot in 24 Hours!

Arjun Sharma — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 07:33:24 +0000

This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot Challenge: New Beginnings

🚀 What I Built

Well, just to make things simpler, its called Anonymous Guard. I just made a short naming version, "AnonGuard" (big names mess up the CSS :)).

So why I built it? Well, here we go...

Have you guys ever witnessed something suspicious but hesitated to report it? You're not alone!(Being an introvert or scared doesn't matter.) That's why I built AnonGuard—a secure, anonymous crime reporting platform that empowers citizens while protecting their identity.

I know that was a pretty short reason so how about giving the website a try and judge it on whatever basis you like (Don't be harsh 👺)?

Now let's talk about the architecture and see what was used to make this:

✨ Key Features:

🔒 Anonymous reporting system
🤖 AI-powered incident analysis using Gemini
📍 Location tracking (opt-in)
🚨 Emergency/Non-Emergency categorization
📊 Admin dashboard for authorities
🔍 Report tracking system

🛠️ Tech Stack:

Next.js 14 (App Router)
TypeScript
Prisma ORM
PostgreSQL (Neon)
Google Gemini API
NextAuth.js
Framer Motion
Tailwind CSS

You guys probably know about all this tech stack and stuff, so let's cut the chase and provide you with the actual product 💪:

And here are some screenshots if you don't want to exhaust the data limit 😆:

💻 Repository

GitHub Repo

🤖 Copilot Experience

The Good, The Bad, and The AI

Working with GitHub Copilot was like having a pair programmer who never sleeps (but occasionally hallucinates 😅).:

This is going to be a bit formal and direct; if you guys want the fun version, then check out Prompt.txt in my repo.👻

Anyway, here we go:

🎯 Initial Setup

Copilot helped scaffold the project structure and basic components. Though it occasionally forgot HTML tags (looking at you, layout.tsx!), it provided a solid foundation.

💫 Animation Magic

The real MVP moment was when Copilot generated complex framer motion animations. One prompt: "Improve the styling of the navbar.tsx component. Make it better at responsiveness at different screen sizes. Also include some animation effects"—and" boom! A beautiful, responsive navbar.

🔐 Authentication Flow

Copilot helped implement NextAuth with proper TypeScript types (after some gentle nudging). It even caught potential security issues I hadn't considered.

🤔 Interesting Challenges

Database Schema: Copilot suggested an optimized Prisma schema based on the components we built
Error Handling: Generated comprehensive error boundaries and loading states
Type Safety: Helped fix TypeScript errors, though sometimes needed guidance

🎭 Most Amusing Copilot Moment

When asked to implement location tracking after MapBox integration failed, Copilot suggested using the browser's geolocation API - a simple yet effective solution I hadn't considered!

🔮 GitHub Models

While building AnonGuard, I primarily used Claude 3.5 Sonnet model through Copilot. It excelled at:

Code generation
Bug fixing
Suggesting optimizations
Documentation
TypeScript type definitions

🌟 Conclusion

Building AnonGuard with GitHub Copilot was an eye-opening experience. The tool not only accelerated development but also introduced me to better coding patterns and practices. And personally for me, it was great for the design and the user experience part, but for pure logic-based coding like the created backend, I had to do some manual intervention to keep the code from falling out 🤐.

🎯 Impact

AnonGuard aims to bridge the gap between citizens and law enforcement, making our communities safer while protecting privacy. The project demonstrates how AI can be used to build socially impactful applications.

📚 Lessons Learned

AI is a powerful ally but needs human oversight
Start with proper planning (thanks for the structure, Copilot!)
Test early, test often (especially with AI-generated code)
Keep security in mind from day one.

Here's to using AI to make the world a little safer, one anonymous report at a time! 🚀
