Be My Eyes

Be My Eyes is a groundbreaking accessibility tool that connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and advanced AI for visual assistance. Its core mission is to make the world more accessible and independent for people with visual impairments.

Through a live video call, a blind or low-vision user connects to a volunteer who can describe surroundings, read labels, navigate environments, or help with various visual tasks. The recent enhancement integrates GPT-4o powered AI within its "Virtual Volunteer" feature. This AI can analyze images and provide instant, detailed visual descriptions and answers to questions.

This hybrid approach combines the empathy and nuanced understanding of human volunteers with the instant, scalable power of AI. Be My Eyes empowers users to perform everyday tasks confidently and independently, transforming visual information access and sharing.
