💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with agent-discover-scanner
Create a network monitoring tool using Python that leverages the 'agent-discover-scanner' package (now known as 'agentdiscover') to automatically discover and monitor active devices on a local network. Your tool should perform the following tasks:

1. Scan the local network for all active IP addresses.
2. Identify the type of device connected at each IP address (e.g., router, printer, computer).
3. Collect basic information about each device, such as operating system version and open ports.
4. Store this information in a database for historical tracking.
5. Provide a simple web interface to display the current status of all devices on the network.
6. Send alerts via email if any device goes offline unexpectedly.

To achieve these goals, you will need to utilize the 'agentdiscover' package to scan the network and gather initial data about the devices. The package can help in identifying active devices and potentially provide details about their services and types. Additionally, you'll need to integrate other Python libraries for database management (such as SQLite or PostgreSQL), web development (Flask or Django), and email sending (smtplib).

This project aims to give users a comprehensive view of their network environment, making it easier to manage and secure their devices.
