This is a computer vision model I made to see if I could use computer vision to help me identify the chocolates in a box of See&#x27;s Candies.

One of the coolest parts about this for me is that Karen built this as a (non-technical) designer.<p>We took a page out of Twilio&#x27;s book[1] and made it part of our culture that every new Roboflower builds a computer vision project as part of their onboarding.<p>As a tool that&#x27;s meant for non-experts, dogfooding things internally like this surfaces a lot of places where we can make things simpler and more understandable.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hbr.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;12&#x2F;why-we-ask-every-new-employee-to-code-an-app-their-first-week-on-the-job" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hbr.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;12&#x2F;why-we-ask-every-new-employee-to-cod...</a>
