Brickit is a mobile application that scans a pile of building bricks, identifies each piece, and provides users with hundreds of building ideas and instructions. The app is designed to help users, particularly children aged 3-7 and their families, rediscover and engage with old bricks. Brickit leverages machine learning and a large dataset of 3D models and user-submitted photos to recognize over 1600 common brick types. Users can also submit their own creations to the platform, fostering a community of builders. A specialized version, Brickit for Classes, is available for educational settings, offering a one-time purchase model without social features. The company was founded by Leo, inspired by his son's frustration with manually finding bricks. Brickit is available on both iOS and Android.
