AiGetIt

Without the need to purchase expensive software or iPhones, our project is dedicated to ensuring that visually impaired individuals have the same access and options to digital content as everyone else worldwide. By leveraging Generative AI, which integrates various screen readers with browsers, we are developing an application that allows users to have a conversational dialogue with the application/browser. This application assists users through its speech function. For example, one could ask it to find out when the next boat departs from Stenpiren to Lindholmen on Västtrafik or help locate outdoor shoes on Ecco.se. We are employing a ”Nail it and scale it” strategy, meaning we continuously develop the product based on feedback from our target group. This process includes thorough market research, testing, and refinement to ensure that our offering meets a real need or solves a significant problem for our audience, with visually impaired individuals at the center through interviews and tests. The project aims to overcome a critical barrier to digital accessibility by developing an innovative, AI-driven application, such as a browser or chatbot called AI Get It, to make the internet more accessible for the visually impaired. AI Get It integrates generative AI, screen readers, natural language processing, and machine vision to provide seamless voice interaction, web navigation. The application will offer an intuitive human-machine interface, enabling users to experience the next generation of the internet, including tactile internet and other advanced features.
