Your everyday AI companion that makes life simpler, smarter, and more accessible.
Ally is easy for everyone to use.
It works smoothly with assistive technologies and built-in accessibility features. Talk or message with Ally on your smartphone, web browser, or smartglasses — and enjoy the same accessible experience everywhere.
Ally understands what you mean and provides helpful responses.
When you ask “What kind of jacket do I need today?” Ally gets it, checks the local weather, and recommends the best fit for the day.
You create your own Ally, with a voice and personality that suits you.
Whether you want a smart English butler to help you at work or a funny sidekick for fun, you can choose whatever works best for you at any given moment.
Your Ally learns about you, your likes and your dislikes.
Show Ally a menu and ask, “Recommend something for lunch” Ally will take your dietary and other preferences into account to suggest the best options.
Ally is for people who are blind or have low vision, older adults, those with cognitive needs, and anyone who wants a more accessible, easier way to stay connected.

The first step in Ally’s response flow is understanding the user’s intent, using a custom reasoning model built by Envision.
1. Intent Recognition:Ally examines the question’s structure and context to identify the user’s intent.
2. Query Understanding:The model determines if the user seeks information, a visual analysis, or an action.
3. Examples:
“Do I need my umbrella today?” → Recognized as a weather-related query
“What am I holding in my hand?” → Interpreted as a visual object recognition request.
This reasoning model ensures Ally correctly interprets the user's needs before responding.

Available Tools in Ally's arsenal
1. Language Model (LLM):Handles general knowledge, calculations, and reasoning-based queries.
Example: “What is the capital of the Netherlands?”

Is Ally accessible for blind and low-vision users?
Yes. Ally is built with and for the blind and low-vision community. It works smoothly with screen readers (VoiceOver, TalkBack), supports voice input, large text, and high-contrast UI, and keeps flows simple and consistent. We avoid “hidden” gestures and rely on clear labels so navigation is predictable for everyone.
How can I personalize Ally?
Just say what you want. You can teach Ally your preferences—name, pronouns, routines, foods, places, and work context—and it remembers to tailor answers. You can also set a voice and tone that match your style. No complicated menus: describe the change in natural language, and Ally adapts on the fly.
What kind of AI does Ally use?
Ally is powered by multiple AI modes. For each task, Ally selects a best-fit AI from leading providers (e.g., Llama, GPT-class, Gemini, Perplexity-style retrieval) to deliver fast, reliable results. We continuously evaluate models for accuracy, safety, latency, and accessibility. This keeps Ally responsive today and upgrade-ready tomorrow.
