It could be both. It could always fall back on plugged in API's but I think in the long run it would not have to. As the AI's get faster the response time and the ability to know what needs to be done gets quicker. You would be controlling the AI with your keys or motions it would be no different than now but much more powerful.

This is absolutely fascinating and very cool. I see a lot of potential for such an approach to help people dealing with fresh vision loss or as a safety net when accessibility breaks or is lacking, but I don't ever see it replacing a screen-reader plugged right into the OS for productivity purposes. It seems very unlikely that such a solution could ever provide latencies sufficiently low to complete tasks in an altogether fluid manner. Part of why I harbour such a strong dislike for GUIs is the perceptible latency when interacting with the OS, something which I rarely if ever experience with BRLTTY on console.
