Be My AI, the first-of-its-kind digital visual assistant powered by
GPT-4, was mentioned amongst the Time Best Invention of 2023 thanks to
the collaboration between Be My Eyes and OpenAI. The annual list
features the most groundbreaking inventions, including new products and
ideas, that TIME editors have identified as “life changing”.
“Be My Eyes is proud to be mentioned among the brilliant innovations
included in TIME’s Best Inventions 2023 list with Be My AI. This new
tool is providing people who are blind or have low vision with a better
way to address everyday needs and acquire tools and visual descriptions
never before possible,” said Michael Buckley, CEO of Be My Eyes. “We are
grateful to TIME for this incredible recognition, as we work to create a
more accessible world for people of all abilities.”
This acknowledgment comes after a week from Be My Eyes’ celebrations for
officially reaching 1,000,000 chats on Be My AI. As of today, over 5,500
blind people are accessing Be My AI every day, asking over 30,000+
questions daily to the AI-powered tool.
“The new feature of having an AI assistant, specifically Be My AI, has
truly been a game-changer for me. It allows me to experience the world
in a whole new way by providing detailed descriptions of various
things,” says Malak, who has been beta testing Be My AI since
March. “Thanks to Be My AI, I now have the ability to enjoy visual
experiences and share moments in ways that were once unimaginable. Be My
Eyes' contribution has made a significant impact on our lives, and we
are incredibly thankful for their invaluable support.”
Be My AI is currently available for all Be My Eyes users on iOS. We have
already started closed beta testing Be My AI for Android devices and our
goal is to move it to broadly-available open beta status in the coming
months. It is already possible to sign up on the waitlist for Android
beta testing in the Be My Eyes app.
