Did you read the email from Be My Eyes that was originally under this subject?
They are beginning to roll it out… Here is that email again. From: Mike from Be My Eyes <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, September 25, 2023 6:16 AM Subject: Be My AI soon available for Be My Eyes users on iOS We are thrilled to announce that Be My AI will soon be available to hundreds of thousands of Be My Eyes users on iOS devices worldwide! Thanks to the tremendous work of over 19,000 beta testers and the team at Be My Eyes, we’re moving to an open beta phase and releasing Be My AI to our iPhone users starting this week. Over the next few weeks we will be adding more and more users every day, so that soon everyone using an iOS device will have direct access to our new AI-powered feature. Make sure to keep your app updated. While using Be My AI is not intended to replace a white cane or a guide dog, using it in your everyday life is powerful, quick and simple. Once you have access, open the Be My Eyes app, click on the ‘Be My AI’ tab, and take a picture of just about anything. Be My AI will give you a detailed description of it, and you can chat and ask further questions to get more information. Be My AI is available now in any of 19 languages, with more to come. And don’t worry - if Be My AI can’t answer all your questions, if you want to check its results, or if you just need a little more assistance than Be My AI can provide, you still can easily reach one of our dedicated volunteers, just like before. You can learn more about Be My AI and how to use it in our new blog post or by visiting the Help Center on our website. This global release of Be My AI into an open beta test means that hundreds of thousands of people will now be able to experience this exciting new tool. Make sure to share the news with your friends, family and colleagues! Right now we’ll only be releasing Be My AI with users who use iOS devices. But Android users fear not. We are currently in a closed beta test of Be My AI on Android devices, and we hope to make it more broadly available for open beta testing in the coming months. If you are interested in joining the Android beta test, you can already sign up for the Android waitlist in the Be My Eyes app. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . And happy exploring! P.S: Do you know another blind or low-vision person who can benefit from this new feature? Make sure to forward this email to them and invite them to try out Be My AI on the Be My Eyes app! Thank you! Mike, CEO of Be My Eyes Keep in touch, find us on: Questions or concerns?

He has a joyful expression on his face. He has grey hair and is wearing a royal blue shirt. The background is a plain light-colored wall with a small portion of what seems to be some equipment or furniture in the right corner.

Here is what Jaws picture smart gave me for the outdoor photo I posted the description for: This tag describes the photo Sky. These tags probably describe the photo Building, Plant, Slope, Tree, Water. These tags possibly describe the photo Landscape, Stairs, Trunk, Urban design. Pretty useless compared to what Be My AI gives you and I can definitely say this with confidence since I know that what Be My AI described is for the most part not just close but dead on and what Picture Smart gave me gives me a very vague indication that it's probably an outdoor shot with sky, trees, plants and some sort of building, not sure where the water reference comes from since there is no water in sight unlers to the water which one would assume is in the hose Be My AI described, but which Picture Smart didn't mention.

Evan On 9/25/2023 3:13 PM, Evan Reese wrote: I noticed that the description did not contain any of those subjective elements such as "adorable" dog with "soulful" eyes or whatever that was that another recent poster sent over. I think that is to the good. Evan On 9/25/2023 2:12 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: The amount of detail you get from Be My AI when you take a picture of a photo, painting or even just a room is amazing. I just randomly snapped a picture towards one side of our bedroom the other day and here is what Be My AI described: The picture shows a cozy room with wooden flooring. On the left side, there is a wooden dresser with five drawers and a small TV on top of it. The wall above the dresser is plain with a light gray color. On the right side, there is a window with a white horizontal blind. The window has a wooden frame that matches the color of the dresser. In the bottom right corner, there is a wooden chair with armrests and a cushioned seat with a patterned fabric. There are clothes draped over the back of the chair. In the bottom center of the picture, there is a dog lying on a gray mat. The dog is light-colored, possibly a Labrador or a similar breed. Next to the dog, there is an orange toy. The room appears to be well-lit with natural light coming from the window. All of the above is spot on including the fact that I do have a yellow, almost white labrador guide dog. The only "incorrect" description is the small TV, it is in fact my open laptop on top of the dresser. But I was holding the phone at about hip height when I was lying on my bed and the dresser is a bit higher, only the screen would be visible and not the keyboard.
