AI fills in my parts inventory so I do not have to

The hard part about keeping an inventory is not looking things up. It is the typing. Every new component means a name, specs, a category, a photo — and that is exactly where most people quit.

So I handed that step to an AI. I take a photo of the new part, and it reads what it is, pulls the details out of the order confirmation email, and writes the entry for me.

The inventory only works because keeping it up to date stopped being work.
