Be My AI is now available to all iOS, Android and Windows Desktop users. For more questions on how to use Be My AI, please visit Be My AI FAQ.

Be My AI is a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool integrated into the Be My Eyes app and powered by the multi-modal capabilities of the GPT language model from OpenAI. 

Take a picture

Once you have access to Be My AI you can navigate to the Be My AI tab in the bottom navigation bar next to "Get support". Here you can take a picture with the rear camera and get a description of the picture.

Ask for more details

If you want to know more about the picture you can tap "Ask more". Here you can ask follow-up questions and provide pictures from other angles. You always have the option to call a volunteer to receive further assistance.

Describe with Be My Eyes

Be My AI can also describe pictures that are already on your smartphone. To upload a picture directly from your photo gallery, you need to open the photos app of your device and locate the picture you want to be described. Then select the "Share" button in the toolbar and navigate to "Describe with Be My Eyes” which will open the Be My AI feature and describe the picture.

Save image and description

Images taken with the app, along with the AI-generated descriptive text, can be permanently saved directly to the smartphone’s camera roll, or shared with friends or family. Any saved photos will be excluded from a new 30-day auto-deletion data protection policy.

Previously saved photos can also be unsaved and will then be archived according to the 30-day limit. When a photo is shared it will also be saved indefinitely past the 30-day limit, until such time as the user chooses to unshare and remove the link.
