Aira

Aira is a revolutionary AI visual interpreter and accessibility tool that provides instant, on-demand access to visual information for individuals who are blind or have low vision. The service connects users, via a smartphone camera and an app, to highly trained human agents who act as "visual interpreters."

These agents, augmented by AI tools, can see what the user is pointing their camera at and provide real-time descriptions, guidance, and assistance. This can range from reading labels on products, navigating unfamiliar environments, identifying objects, describing surroundings, or even helping with complex tasks like filling out forms or understanding computer interfaces.

Aira enhances independence and confidence by providing critical visual context that would otherwise be inaccessible. The combination of AI for initial processing and human agents for nuanced interpretation ensures accuracy and adaptability. Available 24/7, Aira offers unparalleled support, making everyday activities more manageable and enabling greater participation in daily life for its users. It stands as a powerful example of AI for social impact.
