5 use cases

  • Build Vibe Watch firmware and pair it with a Mac

    Compile the open-source firmware for the StopWatch, flash it, and pair the device over Bluetooth to your Mac.

    View prompt
    Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, run the PlatformIO build for the m5stack-stopwatch environment in <project folder> and report the final build status. Verify that the output ends with a success line and no errors before reporting.

  • Approve or reject agent actions with physical buttons

    Use the orange NG and blue OK buttons on the watch to answer agent decisions without touching the keyboard.

    View prompt
    Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo as the wrist controller, confirm the pending agent approval in <agent session> by pressing OK on the watch. Report whether the agent continued to its next step. Verify the agent output shows the approval was received.

  • Watch six parallel agent sessions at a glance

    Keep live status for up to six agent sessions on a round screen and pick the one that needs attention.

    View prompt
    Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, check that the six agent indicators on the watch reflect the state of <number of active sessions> sessions. Report which session is selected and its visible state. Verify the reported states match the sessions shown in the host app.

  • Dictate the next prompt with hold-to-talk on the watch

    Hold the center microphone on the StopWatch to speak the next prompt to your AI assistant hands-free.

    View prompt
    Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, send a spoken prompt from the watch to the assistant by holding the center microphone while saying <prompt text>. Report the text the assistant received. Verify the assistant response matches the spoken request.

  • Convert the StopWatch into a wrist-worn controller

    Modify the official M5Stick watch mount so the round StopWatch can be worn on the wrist while moving around.

    View prompt
    Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo's wrist-mount steps, list the tools and parts needed to convert an M5Stack StopWatch into a wrist-worn controller. Report the checklist in order. Verify that every step includes the instruction to pull-test the mount before wearing.
