Ever Wondered How to Turn a Messy LEGO Pile Into Anything You Want?

Brickit is an innovative app designed to scan a pile of LEGO bricks, identify each piece using machine learning, and suggest creative builds. The app can recognize over 1,600 LEGO pieces, even from small fragments, turning a jumbled pile into creations such as starships, animals, and more.

After scanning the pile of bricks, Brickit's algorithm creates a 3D model of the pile and compares it to an extensive database. This allows it to accurately identify every piece, even those partially covered or hidden. Based on the identified pieces, Brickit then provides a list of possible builds, offering both step-by-step guidance and encouraging improvisation for creative freedom.

The app is designed for all ages, especially children aged 3 to 7 and their parents, offering a fun and educational activity that promotes creativity and problem-solving skills. It is available on both iOS and Android, with a free version and optional Pro features for advanced functionality.

Brickit was inspired by the founder Leo’s frustration while watching his son struggle to find the right pieces in a large collection of LEGO bricks. Seeking to solve this problem, Leo and his team—made up of tech professionals from companies like Google and Yandex—developed Brickit. The app simplifies the building process, learning from user input to improve its recognition and suggestions over time.

The technology behind Brickit is powered by machine learning, which enables it to recognize a wide variety of bricks. The algorithm continually improves by processing real-world data submitted by users, ensuring that it can recognize even the smallest or most obscure pieces with high accuracy.
