OpenAI’s ChatGPT has expanded its capabilities through a groundbreaking partnership with Be My Eyes, profoundly transforming the lives of those it serves. The collaboration was recently highlighted in a video showcasing OpenAI’s GPT-4 and its integration into Be My Eyes, an accessibility feature designed to assist individuals with visual impairments in recognising objects and navigating daily situations.
Since 2012, Be My Eyes has been dedicated to developing technology for the community of over 250 million people who are blind or have low vision. The Danish startup connects visually impaired individuals with volunteers who assist with a wide range of daily tasks, from identifying products to navigating airports.
With the introduction of the visual input capability of GPT-4, Be My Eyes began developing a GPT-4 powered Virtual Volunteer™ within their app. This innovation aims to generate the same level of context and understanding as a human volunteer, enhancing the overall user experience.
In the short time we’ve had access, we have seen unparalleled performance from any image-to-text object recognition tool out there. The implications for global accessibility are profound. In the not-so-distant future, the blind and low vision community will utilise these tools not only for a host of visual interpretation needs but also to achieve a greater degree of independence in their lives.
Michael Buckley, CEO of Be My Eyes in OpenAi post
For example, when someone sends an image of the contents of their fridge, GPT-4 technology can recognise and name the items and suggest recipes based on those ingredients. The potential use cases are virtually limitless. “This is a fantastic development for humanity,” adds Buckley, “but it also represents an enormous commercial opportunity”.
Be My Eyes operates on the Exact Brand Match (EBM) domain name BeMyEyes.com and has also secured BeMyEyes.us. Owning multiple domain extensions helps protect the brand name from being used by others and redirects traffic from additional domains to the main website. This strategy captures visitors who may mistype the domain name or, in the case of Be My Eyes, captures traffic from U.S.-based users who might prefer a .us extension, thereby enhancing brand protection and user accessibility.
A premium domain name can make all the difference in building a successful brand. If you want to take your business to the next level, consider investing in a premium domain name. Contact us today for more information and assistance in finding the perfect domain for your brand.
