AI Engineer NYC 2026
Join AI Engineer and Major League Hacking (MLH) on Sunday, October 11, for a full day of building, experimenting, and meeting fellow AI engineers.
Oddies
Oddies turns your unlived potential into playable, step-by-step parallel lives.
About the project
Oddies lets you see and try out the different lives you could still live. Paste what your AI assistant knows about you, or just list the lives you think about, and Oddies drafts four to six paths. It draws them as one tree, with milestones along each branch, and an illustrated map underneath shows the world each path leads to. Tap a milestone and Nimble searches the live web for it. Every page it finds is kept and linked, and a few become steps you can do today: something to read, practice, attend or apply to. Pick one path a day, and talk to the future you at the end of any branch.

Best Use of Gemini API
Gemini turns a free-text intake into 4 to 6 structured future selves, voices each one in chat, and for each milestone writes the search queries and then chooses steps only from the search results. Calls retry and fall back across Gemini models when one is overloaded.

Best Use of Nimble
Tap a milestone and Nimble searches the live web for it in three research lanes, each with its own settings. Every page it returns is saved and linked on the tree (17 for one milestone in the demo), a few become today's steps, and the server drops any step whose URL Nimble did not return. Nimble Extract loads a step's page as text so you can read it inside the app.

Sentry Raffle
Server and browser are both instrumented. Each Gemini call is a span with model and token counts, each Nimble call is its own span, and the browser passes its trace id to the server, so one click shows as one trace from browser to Gemini and Nimble.
