Google's initial AIY Kits were a good starting point for home developers, but they weren't really designed for newcomers, as the kits lacked the necessary Raspberry Pi and other essentials. Google is now hoping to remedy this issue with an update to its kits which now include a Raspberry Pi Zero WH board and a pre-provisioned SD card. These updated AIY Kits are great for anyone looking to explore AI concepts, such as computer vision, in a package that is both easy to use and fully equipped.
In addition to the updated AIY Kits, Google is making the AI exploration easier with a companion Android app. The accompanying app guides users through the set-up procedure of the kit and the AIY website. The website has also seen an overhaul and now features clearer instructions aimed at younger creators.
