Jesse Lawrence, new to hardware, used plain-English prompts in Axiometa Studio to generate firmware for the Axiometa Genesis Mini starter kit and flash it. Studio is the vendor's browser tool. The 10-minute video keeps the unboxing and his fumbling, and ends with a simple reaction-time game running on the kit.

Iluvatar Labs had its research agent, Marvin, route AgentPad13, a two-layer RP2040 macropad modeled on OpenAI's Codex Micro. Marvin reached zero unrouted connections and zero DRC errors; FreeRouting and Quilter had left 18 and 19 unrouted. It also built and simulated the QMK firmware. Photos show the lit prototype.

Edison Science Corner built a Wi-Fi camera rover on a Seeed XIAO ESP32S3 Sense with an L293D motor driver without writing code. Seeed's CodeCraft assistant generated the firmware and wiring instructions and flashed the board from the browser. The 5-minute video shows assembly, the 3D-printed chassis, live streaming and joystick control. Its description carries Seeed affiliate links.

Adsum Networks' IoT Coder agent debugged a Fanstel BWG840 gateway whose nRF52840 BLE scanner ran cleanly but received nothing. It flashed an nRF52840 dongle as a Bluetooth sniffer and compared the air with RTT logs: 36 advertisements captured, none received. The cause was an RF front-end that was never enabled. This is a vendor demo of its own product.

Seif Salama built an Ackermann-steered robot that runs one ROS 2 Humble stack in Gazebo Harmonic and on a Raspberry Pi car. A custom ros2_control interface drives the motors over UART and the steering servo over I2C. A Gemini or Ollama agent takes spoken commands. We could not tell whether the README video shows the physical robot.
