📸 Your photo archive holds years of experience. What if you could ask it questions—and revisit the stories behind them?
Community developer @sgfvdsg86265 built LifeLog, a local-first life-review engine inspired by 29,294 photos collected over 10 years. Powered by MiniCPM, it turns an overwhelming album into an archive you can explore through language. 💡
👀 Understand the moments: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B generates structured descriptions of scenes, people, visible location clues, activities, and overall atmosphere.
🧩 Discover the connections: Photo descriptions are organized into days and life episodes, helping reconnect scattered memories.
✍️ Tell the stories: MiniCPM-V 4.5 8B adds deeper interpretation, generates three narrative styles, and creates a personal profile supported by photo details.
💬 Ask, then check: LifeLog supports Chinese-language Q&A over photo records, returning answers alongside relevant records. Its demo pairs workplace and travel insights with photos, timestamps, and descriptions for review.
🔒 Keep memories local: Photo understanding and writing run offline on a 16GB Apple Silicon Mac.
Visual understanding, evidence-backed retrieval, and narrative generation—all working together to help people rediscover their own experiences. That’s the kind of everyday intelligence we love seeing our community build. 💙
