HOMESTEAD AUTONOMOUS THREAT INTERVENTION

An AI farm bouncer
that knows when not to act.

GPT-5.6 interprets a short camera event. Hard local rules decide whether a brief scent mist is warranted.

Predators learn.
Static deterrents
become scenery.

Backyard keepers need something between passive fencing and lethal control: a selective response that appears only when it matters.

Don't trust a hunch.
Run the evidence.

Luna describes the scene; deterministic policy decides. Try four repository fixtures—not wildlife footage.

A raccoon holds the frame

Four of five frames agree on a configured predator. No person appears.

AUTHORIZEDDEPLOY4-frame consensus · target configured · human veto clear

One event.
Five accountable steps.

The language model never touches the actuator. Each handoff is logged, replayable, and narrow enough to test in isolation.

01SEE

Local motion opens a short event window.

02IDENTIFY

Luna screens frames 2 and 4; uncertain events complete all five.

03VERIFY

Local rules demand consensus and apply hard vetoes.

04ACT

A bounded Tuya command deploys mist, then verifies off.

05REVIEW

Telegram carries the evidence, outcome, and feedback.

Foscam G4

Authenticated live video with automatic address recovery.

Luna / GPT-5.6

Two-frame screening; all five when evidence needs scrutiny.

Gemma 4 E4B

Local benign triage. May suppress a call; never authorizes action.

Tuya diffuser

Bounded mist with confirmed startup and shutdown.

Telegram

Evidence, decisions, and owner feedback.

Improvement must
earn promotion.

Feedback creates a candidate—not an instant rewrite. It must correct the miss with zero regressions across protected cases.

The controlled test proves the promotion mechanism, not field accuracy. Gemma's raccoon-as-chicken miss was caught in shadow mode; its authority remains limited to benign suppression.

Evidence comes to you.
Control stays with you.

Every event is reviewable. One tap records the owner's verdict; only the configured owner may issue commands.
