Show HN: Stop programming devices. Just answer questions

We’ve been programming devices by telling them what to do.

But what if a device could be defined just by answering questions?

Instead of writing code, you describe: - what the device should do - under what conditions it is allowed - what should never happen

From those answers, a real Matter device is generated (ESP32-C6).

An action-first system where devices are defined, validated, and then executed.

It’s not just no-code.

Devices are not programmed — they are defined.

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially on: - whether this model makes sense - where it breaks in real-world use - how it could work with AI controlling physical devices

One thing we realized while building this:

Commands don’t give control.

Defining conditions does.

Curious how others think about this — especially when AI starts interacting with physical systems.
