(Charli Posner, Will Cohen) Can you use AI to vibe-code a computer vision pipeline? Yes... sort of.
In December 2025, a group of friends built an art installation for Lost Paradise music festival. We built the bulk of the project in two weeks, after work hours, during late night hackathons in someone's living room. There is no way we would have been able to do this without Claude Code. That being said, computer vision is an interesting case such that most of the debugging happens when you press play and run the system live - and AI tools can't sit and watch video streams in the same way a human can. It is difficult to describe with words the exact results you're looking for in the output, in a way that Claude can meaningfully understand and act on. As a result, we came up with clever ways to share our outputs and problems with Claude, and learned a lot about its capabilities and limits in image processing and computer vision tasks.
This talk will take you through the process - from running pose tracking models on AI cameras, using OpenCV for camera calibration, iterating on DepthAI pipelines, creating real-time data visualisations to track keypoints, and what we learned about the limits of generative AI models when debugging real-world systems.
