[–] darkwater 1y ago ↗ What is this Viam? Looks like something like NodeRed? There are too many AI related buzzwords in the website and I am genuinely not able to understand what the product and the (opensource?) viam-server is about. [–] margalabargala 1y ago ↗ Their platform overview page does a decent job of talking about it without buzzwords.https://www.viam.com/product/platform-overviewBasically, device drivers, data sync, control logic and ML inference all in one plus the glue to use it all together.I agree that they would benefit from a page dedicated more towards engineers and less towards marketers.
