Most of us throw things away not because we don't care, but because repairing or reusing an item feels inconvenient in the moment. SECOND LIFE helps at that decision point. Simply take a photo of an item you're about to discard, and AI identifies it, suggests practical repair or reuse ideas, and generates a short, thoughtful biography of the object's journey. Over time, every logged item becomes part of your personal consumption history. When you request your **Consumption Story**, the app analyzes your entire history using a self-hosted open-weight model running on an **AMD Instinct MI300X GPU** to identify meaningful patterns—such as frequently discarded categories or recurring waste—and provides one practical, personalized recommendation. We use a two-tier AI approach: **Fireworks AI** delivers fast, per-item responses, while the **AMD MI300X** powers deeper long-term analysis. Rather than judging users, Second Life encourages more thoughtful and sustainable choices through simple, actionable insights.
