Be My AI, the  first-of-its-kind digital visual assistant powered by GPT-4,
was mentioned amongst the Time Best Invention of 2023
<https://time.com/collection/best-inventions-2023/6326986/openai-gpt-4/>
thanks to the collaboration between Be My Eyes and OpenAI. The annual list
features the most groundbreaking inventions, including new products and
ideas, that TIME editors have identified as "life changing".

"Be My Eyes is proud to be mentioned among the brilliant innovations
included in TIME's Best Inventions 2023 list with Be My AI. This new tool is
providing people who are blind or have low vision with a better way to
address everyday needs and acquire tools and visual descriptions never
before possible," said Michael Buckley, CEO of Be My Eyes. "We are grateful
to TIME for this incredible recognition, as we work to create a more
accessible world for people of all abilities."

This acknowledgment comes after a week from Be My Eyes' celebrations for
officially reaching 1,000,000 chats on Be My AI. As of today, over 5,500
blind people are accessing Be My AI every day, asking over 30,000+ questions
daily to the AI-powered tool. 

"The new feature of having an AI assistant, specifically Be My AI, has truly
been a game-changer for me. It allows me to experience the world in a whole
new way by providing detailed descriptions of various things," says Malak,
who has been beta testing Be My AI since March. "Thanks to Be My AI, I now
have the ability to enjoy visual experiences and share moments in ways that
were once unimaginable. Be My Eyes' contribution has made a significant
impact on our lives, and we are incredibly thankful for their invaluable
support."

Be My AI is currently available for all Be My Eyes users on iOS. We have
already started closed beta testing Be My AI for Android devices and our
goal is to move it to broadly-available open beta status in the coming
months. It is already possible to sign up on the waitlist for Android beta
testing in the Be My Eyes app.
