Automatically analyze Ring camera alerts using AI to determine if elderly family members need assistance, then send intelligent notifications to caregivers.

Workflow Steps

1

Ring

Capture motion event data

Set up Ring camera to detect motion in key areas like entrances, kitchen, or living room. Configure the Ring app to send webhook notifications when motion is detected during specific hours.

2

Zapier

Trigger on Ring webhook

Create a Zapier webhook that receives Ring motion alerts. Configure it to capture timestamp, location within home, and motion duration data from the Ring API.

3

ChatGPT (OpenAI API)

Analyze motion pattern

Send motion data to ChatGPT with context about normal daily patterns. Ask it to determine if the motion suggests potential issues (e.g., no movement for extended periods, unusual timing, or erratic patterns).

4

Twilio

Send intelligent SMS alerts

Based on ChatGPT's analysis, send contextual SMS to caregivers. Include AI-generated summary like 'No kitchen activity detected for 6 hours - may need check-in' rather than generic motion alerts.
