For those of us who rely on non-visual information, technology can be a game-changer. Tools like Seeing AI, Envision AI, Aira, and Be My Eyes connect users with volunteers or AI assistance to help decipher the world around them. But today, let\u2019s talk about one in particular\u2014Be My AI\u2014and how it has become an invaluable part of my daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are three moments when Be My AI helped me confirm what I sensed or adjust settings with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Tackling an Inaccessible Thermostat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving into a new house is exciting but comes with unexpected challenges\u2014like a thermostat that doesn\u2019t talk. Our new home had a basic Emerson model with only two buttons, two switches, and a screen. With no smart capabilities, setting it up seemed daunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thankfully, I turned to Be My AI. A quick photo gave me a detailed description of the thermostat\u2019s layout, allowing me to determine which buttons controlled the temperature. I set it to cool and continued taking pictures to confirm the set point and current room temperature. What initially felt like a frustrating obstacle turned into an easy, independent task\u2014no sighted assistance required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Seasoning My New Flat-Top Griddle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A brand-new griddle meant mastering the seasoning process\u2014getting it super-hot, applying a thin layer of oil, and letting it smoke off to create a non-stick surface. The challenge? At high heat, I couldn\u2019t safely check for consistency by touch, and waiting until it cooled completely wasn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, I snapped a picture and asked Be My AI for feedback. The AI quickly identified uneven areas and pinpointed exactly where I needed to add more oil. Thanks to its precise guidance, I achieved a perfectly seasoned griddle\u2014and a non-sticky cooking experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Perfecting My Meat Browning Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking large quantities of meat was something I hadn’t done before, so I relied on texture cues while stirring. Everything felt well on its way to browning, but I wanted to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A quick picture confirmed that most of the meat was browned, but a few pink spots remained. I kept cooking, checked again, and Be My AI assured me that it was finally cooked through. This extra confirmation boosted my confidence and helped me refine my cooking technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Be My AI is an incredibly useful tool for adding more independence to daily tasks. While it should never replace personal judgment, it can provide clarity, confidence, and a new way of seeing what\u2019s in front of you. With direct, concise questions, it becomes an indispensable assistant\u2014right in your pocket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether troubleshooting appliances, cooking meals, or exploring new spaces, AI-powered assistance is changing the game for blind individuals everywhere. And that\u2019s something worth celebrating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For those of us who rely on non-visual information, technology can be a game-changer.
