Be My Eyes

free visual-assistance app for blind and low-vision people

Be My Eyes

Industry Services

An app that connects blind and low-vision people with volunteers and AI-assisted visual support for everyday tasks. Be My Eyes scores well because the core service converts distributed goodwill into practical autonomy, though private app governance and AI/privacy exposure need continued scrutiny.

Why this matters: A free moment of visual interpretation can unlock ordinary independence in a way most sighted users never notice.
