What kinds of tools get built

• Skill to Shelf: say what you can do, get 3 things to sell with prices

  A disabled person lists what they can do (draw, cook, sew, edit, speak). The tool suggests three small offers that need no capital, a price range from comparable listings, a photo plan and a ready first post, so the next step isn't 'sell online' but 'list this tomorrow'.

  Jobs and work · Disabled people who want to earn from home don't know what they could sell, and run into job scams

• Pill Packet Reader: photograph every bag and box and get one clear daily schedule

  The family photographs each medicine bag and box on the table. Claude vision reads names and doses, builds one day schedule in big Thai type, and flags two products with the same ingredient or a drug that a listed kidney condition may rule out, with a note to ask the pharmacist.

  Elderly care · Families can't tell whether an older relative's pills are safe, spaced right, or mixed with medicine they bought on their own

• Route Finder: 10 questions in, a list of study and funding routes you qualify for out

  A teen answers questions about age, school track, who they care for and where they live. The tool lists the routes that fit (กศน., vocational study that leaves time to care, loans, scholarships) with deadlines and what to bring, sorted by how fast money arrives.

  Learning and language · Teens in poor families quit school to nurse a parent or pay their own way, and can't find the scholarship or study route that fits

• Paper Pack: answer 6 questions and get the exact folder to carry to the right office

  A family answers a few questions about the person (disability type, bedridden or not, district, social security or not). The tool returns the order of steps (hospital certificate first, then district), the documents to copy, a pre-filled form draft and which benefits to ask for.

  Health · Families of disabled or bedridden people get sent between offices and miss benefits they can claim

• Foot Counter: a small camera that counts passers-by and how many stop at the stall

  A cheap ESP32 camera on the stall pole counts people on the lane and those who stop within two meters, on the device, without saving faces. After a night the owner sees 'passed 840, stopped 62, bought 31' and can judge a 300 baht spot before paying for a month.

  Small business · Market stall sellers pay 300 to 500 baht a day for a spot and can't tell how much to cook or if it will pay

• Free Meal Line: call one number and hear the three nearest free meals today

  A person with no data and under 200 baht calls one number, says the area, and a Thai voice reads the three closest free meals open today with times and what to bring. Volunteers update the list from a simple sheet, so the line is as fresh as their last phone check.

  Food and markets · People who run out of money for food can't find where a free meal is today
