    Build a PEMS with Claude or Copilot — no code, no cost

    Building a PEMS used to mean hiring someone who could write the model. We built one on real plant data using Claude, and recorded every step. Four short videos show the workflow: preparing the data, describing the objective in plain English, and checking the results against the training scores.
